Bitcoin for Signal - Private Messaging Needs Private Money

Considering a new approach to private payments in Signal: using Cashu protocol for Bitcoin transactions instead of MobileCoin. What do you think about this idea?

Hey its not easy to acquire it and use it especially when a lot more merchants accept BTC and not XMR.

There’s no need for a superiority complex here. And using BTC doesn’t by default mean they’re avoiding XMR. What kind of logic are you using here?

Still waiting for the Monero integration into Molly. The Monero Wallet SDK was finished this year, but I can’t find any progress for getting it into Molly. :pensive_face:

I always thought that Bitcoin maxis a the most toxic group in the space, until I found out that Monero maxis are a lot more toxic.

Yes Monero is the kign of anonymity, BUT this doesn’t mean that anything else can’t also a good solution.
Especially for day to day payments, the Cashu solution is probably better then XMR.

How about Zcash? At least it’s available on exchanges in the USA, unlike Monero.

why is zcash allowed but not monero :thinking:

To me, Zcash seems like the Telegram of cryptocurrency. Very well funded, very well marketed, very dubious technical merits.

Lacking privacy by default is such a non-starter for any cryptocurrency that it’s honestly pretty confusing to me why more Monero alternatives haven’t really been attempted.
