Is then Signal really a good thing and people just shouting false warnings?

    Isn’t this the Monero knockoff that was mentioned a while back? If so, I would stay away. If not, I would still stay away, because I can’t find the source code anywhere. We’re supposed to, what, just blindly trust these people?

      If so, I would stay away.

      Are you saying this because it is a Monero fork or because it is a Monero fork? As in, don’t you trust it because it’s Monero or because it is a fork?

      If not, I would still stay away, because I can’t find the source code anywhere.

        Because it’s a Monero fork. And from Moxie Marlinspike, no less. I just don’t trust that guy. Thanks for the link, btw. I still can’t find it anywhere on their page, though. Or am I just missing something obvious?

          Yeah it seems the link is nowhere to be found on their page… Lol

          Why are you suspicious of Monero forks? I dislike the premise and background of Mobile Coin too (and its weird tie to Signal) but a Monero fork doesn’t seem inherently bad.

            I’m not suspicious of Monero forks in general and of course just by being a fork doesn’t make it inherently bad, but I am suspicious of this fork in particular. I would say I’m wary of the rest, though. Monero has been around for a while and has also been audited, unlike its forks. Maybe they’re better than Monero, maybe they’re worse. I simply have no way of knowing.

              Gotcha, males total sense.
