Monero Wallet built into Signal, using the Molly fork. Molly interacts with Signal’s official AWS servers, but is a more free code wise. Now someone has added an XMR wallet to this. If it got some momentum, it can be used for OTC trading =) https://gi...

When I hear about integration with any other centralized platform, I see it as a potential attack vector. I'd stay far, far away from this integration unless and until it's had years of rigorous testing. You do know that the NSA hacked Tucker Carlson's Signal account to discover and warn him against traveling to visit with Putin, right? Signal has been compromised by the same groups that are opposed to liberty and sound money.

I've heard this claim, but where's the evidence? It's also possible that his actual phone was compromised.
8Yeah, I watched that followup interview with Lex Friedman and the way he says it, it sounds to me like they have backdoors into the baseband and IME that they use for targeted surveillance. They don't need to hack the cryptography, they can just get all data going into memory on your device.
That said, I am skeptical or Signal due to the phone number requirement and mandatory central server. I'll use it, but only with people I know IRL and only for casually sensitive information, if I had anything going on in my life for which I needed real deal security, I wouldn't use signal and in fact I wouldn't even use a cell phone for it at all.

It was also interesting hearing Pavel Durov story about three letters agency trying to convince a Telegram developer to use specific technology as preference for Telegram.

1Yeah I agree. I don't see the point of integration either. Like, isn't having 2 applications on the same OS integration enough? I got a messaging app and a Monero wallet, why do I need a Monero wallet inside my messaging app?
