The main site is located here: molly.im
The first paragraphs on the donation page:The goal is to build a secure messaging app with integrated support for Monero payments and a decentralized backend.
The application will be based on the Signal fork Molly.im (henceforth ‘Molly’) but with a privacy-focused backend that allows the user to sign up anonymously (without phone number), encrypt their local database with passphrase encryption, RAM shredding, and more.
Monero features will include the ability to set up a XMR wallet, send and receive funds, keep track of the balance, and review the history.
I don’t understand why a messaging app needs to support monero payments…
Feelings of inadequacy? Signal also has a crypto integrated into the app called MobileCoin, which is a Monero fork. I agree, though. Nobody asked for integrated crypto in their chat app and that goes for both Molly and Signal.
Venmo is severely popular. Molly is like a private alternative
hmmm ok interesting point
You can disable it.
A fork of Signal that’s actually developed as a FOSS community driven project is very welcome.
Its not on f droid for some reason, even though ive added the FOSS repository
Refresh. Ive been using it for months on there fine.
Maybe you were using the non Foss repo? It really doesn’t appear upon refresh so I assumed it just needs time to build on their server
