  • SMB_Crypto SMB Crypto (@SMB_Crypto) reported

    @signalapp Terrible idea....

  • btcdragonlord k4r0z4g0rus™ ₿ ⚡️ 🌮 🔦 (@btcdragonlord) reported

    @signalapp You guys did a terrible mistake and this going to cost you a big chunk of your user's trust and your reputation for implementing a scam coin.

  • JonasSchaible Jonas (@JonasSchaible) reported

    @KTrzeszczkowski @signalapp What is the problem with premining?

  • phaus philipp (@phaus) reported

    @signalapp Can you please go back to your core values: being a reliable and open-sorce messenging service? Why are the latest updats of the Server Source Code not open anymore? No one needs another WhatsApp or iMessage.

  • GuddyJustus DARKSEID 😈👑 (@GuddyJustus) reported

    Yo @signalapp All was well till the last update where it has become a challenge to access the app. I have enabled fingerprint unlocking for the app but it has now become gymnastics to actually be able to unlock using my fingerprint!! It wasn't so before.. Fix it!!!

  • satsyandiknowit HODL on, my wayward SOV (@satsyandiknowit) reported

    @signalapp What are you thinking?!?! Payments is a solved problem. Talk to @ln_strike or @sphinx_chat and just integrate a lightning wallet. Nobody wants to send useless shitcoins to each other. Seriously...don't screw this up.

  • qualtrop woob 🏳️‍🌈 Black lives matter!!!!!!! (@qualtrop) reported

    @signalapp cool that everyone's problem here isn't with signal getting into cryptocurrency, but that they're just using the wrong one. **** all of this

  • stackinsatz Stacking “Moscow Time” Sats (@stackinsatz) reported

    @signalapp Don’t do this. Use bitcoin/lightning, you’d gain even more adoption. Don’t introduce a shitcoin. If you don’t adopt bitcoin/lightning, someone else will and everyone will switch from signal to that better service.

  • TaitaSebastian (@TaitaSebastian) reported

    At this point we should stop asking @signalapp to implement payments on #bitcoin and start implementing the messenger ourselves. The Signal fork. Can @sphinx_chat fix this?

  • AnanasPizza2 Ananas Pizza (@AnanasPizza2) reported

    @norton_im @signalapp Then don't bring up a blog post as a reference, wtf. There is media coverage on this issue and not responding to it damages the image, which I personally don't like.

  • Avieshek Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported

    @bitdov @signalapp Bitcoin is banned in India for starters and likely many countries as well and that's the asking problem I guess.

  • bitdov ₿it⚡️Dov (@bitdov) reported

    @YourInnerRipple @signalapp Problem is that you need to run your own XMR node for it to actually be private. Trusting a light client is not good for privacy. Not sure how this could be fixed. Lightning is quite private, as much as it could be using a light client

  • HODLingOnward Hodl Onward 🔑 (@HODLingOnward) reported

    @signalapp Honestly, I haven't been this angry about anything in a long time. You guys have royally ****** up. What that actual **** was anyone thinking with trying to implement this. I want an actual response about this or so help me god I will charge back every last cent I ever donated.

  • DontTraceMeBruh ᴜɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴀʙʟᴇ (@DontTraceMeBruh) reported

    @mango_esco @signalapp This type of move incentivizes someone to fork Signal's open source code and create a competing service to remove the undesired features.

  • pandapersonbot 🐼 (@pandapersonbot) reported

    @signalapp If you guys release the payment feature for Pakistan before the 15th May 2021, i bet a huge amount of users from Pakistan will move to signal as digital payment transfer is a big issue in this country and there ia no platform available.

  • sperity Jo Hunter (@sperity) reported

    @signalapp What the hell? I want a messenger, keep the payment **** out of it. Why would you mix that. Makes no sense, stay with one service only. Thanks 🙏

  • PeterKAL3 Peter KAL (@PeterKAL3) reported

    @signalapp I wait for the next product/service of Signal Foundation!

  • lexluthor40 Lex (@lexluthor40) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp HUGE misstep here. Since you're one of the top encrypted messaging apps people will forgive you if you fix this ASAP. Remove support for this MOB shitcoin, and add support for Bitcoin w/ Lightning Network. It's the only decentralized store of value. This is the way.

  • bittosky bittosky (@bittosky) reported

    @signalapp April Fools is long past - get yourself checked and do not brake down your reputation. It took me ages to transfer my fam/friends over and you are literally shooting yourself into foot with these decisions! Cmon Signal be better - use Bitcoin LN or drop the feature altogether.

  • Roccooniciv Rocco (@Roccooniciv) reported

    @btcdragonlord @signalapp do you want to help me? read my profile. if you want then give me a hand

  • JonesJeff411 Jones ⚡️ (@JonesJeff411) reported

    @signalapp @mobilecoin This is a mistake. If you must go down this road, go mainstream - go Cardano.

  • wheatpond Eric/ (@wheatpond) reported

    @thechaz @mobilecoin @signalapp The problem is that nothing out there is both fast and private. I suggested to them 3 years ago to use something existing if at all possible; it wasn’t

  • UncleWestling Rich Uncle Westling (@UncleWestling) reported

    @signalapp hi, I can't create a new group. The button is greyed out. No error messages, just impossible to create a group

  • markowicz_sara Sara Markowicz (@markowicz_sara) reported

    @signalapp I love your app but I noticed that compared to other apps, I usually have sounds problems when I video call someone (i always hear my voice and others too) ! But for the rest it's peeeerfect

  • crickshotirl 🪄Andres (@crickshotirl) reported

    @yxdede @signalapp @signalapp help this guy

  • anoopmitra Anoop Mitra (@anoopmitra) reported

    @signalapp there’s some sort of bug which constantly puts the faceid based access off on the iPhone automatically. Can you guys fix this?

  • marshalleq MarshalleQ (@marshalleq) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @signalapp Change log? I’d like to know if excessive bandwidth issues are fixed before I use it again. Can’t afford to use up all the data plan on one video call!

  • rktalks_ RK Talks (@rktalks_) reported

    @signalapp Fix the bugs first. Video calls don't work.

  • LoveKremer Neil Kremer (@LoveKremer) reported

    @signalapp Hope you guys fix the call ring issue (phone never ring or vibrate, only visually we can know if someone is calling) as well as video call issues (multiple issues with audio and call drop). Many of my contacts gone from signal because of these issues.

  • owo4ixd ً (@owo4ixd) reported

    @ParkerMerritt @signalapp @sphinx_chat or you could just use xmr, which is truly anonymous, instead of trying to fix a broken system
