I’ll admit I’ve done all of fifteen minutes worth of research on MobileCoin back when I first became aware of it as a Signal user. I mostly came across articles and videos that expressed wariness of Moxie, or I would see comments like, ‘Time to go back to Session’.
I distinctly remember Nate saying once that he thought it was great that features can be easily integrated in an app or website (i.e. E2EE) without users necessarily having to understand how said feature works. I feel like Signal shares that sentiment. Also, it’s my understanding that the P2P money transfer portion of the app is entirely opt-in.
I would greatly appreciate more insight into why it’s so stigmatized, especially if it can lead to a natural progression to bigger and better things for those who just aren’t as quick as everyone else.
