Are people still use onchain for payments on a mobile device? Seriously? In 2024?!
Reminder:
onchain is the final settlement, only for long term holding
LN is The Payment Network of Bitcoin that could offer waaaay more options for privacy. If you still didn't find them, it means you don't know too much about LN.
Living in the past (pre-LN era) will cost you a fortune if you are stuck and not adapting.
yes. ideally someone could get the whole source code that composes the app, and build each piece one by one in their own machines, but this is not the case here so you have the right concern
Too early to call when it comes to trust or safety for me. But, it appears we have the vanity PayNym +GrapheneOS that Samourai also provided in the past, which is nice of them.
BIP47 Stealth addresses would be nice instead, but only Cake has this. They should also provide the APK signing key hash so apps like AppVerifier can verify it.
I do not take the hype. I am totally skeptic with this.
Questions to be answered, before you jump in for this "announcement":

Part of the code is not open-source btw. It is missing the bitcoinj-core library which is using a binary instead
thanks for the heads up on this
seeing its release does make me think about supply chain attacks (if that's even the right word when they build the whole device) by intel agencies

You're right. I think the real impact is more "standing up to the man" than practical.
You already know my position about this whole case (that smells really bad)... Silk Road leads to Samourai: #520773
and I do not want to repeat again that "Darth is always right". We will see soon how it ends.
I like the theory. Who knows? I'll read the links
This.
It may be greed as well.
The most reliable source of courage.
The infinite source of courage.

I feel it happened pretty quick after the samourai incident. We will see if they are worthy of trust.

Appears bluewallet and stack have it now too 😅
My Nostr feed is all about this. Let’s see how far this gets.
When is too much noise online.. something is not good. Be skeptic.
Yep. I’m skepdick 🤣
Just don’t go septic.
I keep changing my mind about this. It could be said that the indictment really focused on human interaction together with the tech.
same folks?
No. I don't think so! That would take gigantic stones.
