Terence EdenAt its (very brief) peak, a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MobileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobileCoin</a> was worth $68.They are now worth only 8¢You can't use MobileCoin to donate to Signal, despite it still being baked in to <a href="https://mastodon.world/@signalapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@signalapp</a>. FWIW, I think it is sensible for apps to experiment with weird new fads. No one knows what will become useful, and it builds institutional knowledge.But I think it is probably time to gracefully retire this feature.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:GOOD: <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> switches to usernames and finally gives up on their insistence of sharing your mobile phone number. BAD: <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> keeps its <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/cryptocurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptocurrency</a> wallet for <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/MobileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobileCoin</a> in their app that nobody wants or needs.

henry<a href="https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Mer__edith</a> Why would you of all people cringe at <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/NFTs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NFTs</a> given <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> experiments with <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crypto</a> wallet integration? <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Mobilecoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mobilecoin</a> At least one messaging app, <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Status" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Status</a>, also appears to have a <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crypto</a> wallet, and doesn’t require a phone number to register. Acknowledging hating NFTs is trendy today, that tech does seem far from dead, eg if you look at patents.

Terence EdenHa! As someone else pointed out, <a href="https://mastodon.world/@signalapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@signalapp</a> doesn't accept donations using its own <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MobileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobileCoin</a> crypto. <a href="https://signal.org/donate/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://signal.org/donate/</a> Look, I still think Signal is a great app, but this "beta" is absolute nonsense.

Terence EdenTwo years ago, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> tried launching <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MobileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobileCoin</a> in the UK. The feature is still in beta. I wonder who made money from that launch spike - because it looks like a successful pump-and-dump.

Json DohDoes any of you use <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/MobileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobileCoin</a> at all?Comments are welcome. And please boost for more opinions.
