Proton is not a champion of privacy: they gave over logs that led to the imprisonment of an activist, IIRC. Is that person still in jail?
Besides, in the middle of this thread there’s a bunch of material about suspect partnerships.Thread reaction: question legitimacy, then ignore and go ahead, then nothing happens, ‘high level people’ within ZF and ECC say they’re in consultations, years pass, more nothing, then somehow FTX gets blamed, lol.
Requests to simply receive payment in zec (which should be a simple turnkey process for any vendor, regardless of partnership - and now seem to be again!) date back to 2018, at least.
How much dev fund got spent for all these consultations?
I don’t know that we should form special partnerships in most cases at all: if our product is good and usable and we can get the word out a little, it will be used. BUT if we do need ‘special integration’ or ‘partnerships’… People with any sway: please don’t partner with other orgs with tarnished reps, there are still a few good ones out there. A basic webmail service would be a win. Let alone getting a good VPN or of course something like NYM if they can deliver the goods (and we can too.. there’s a story here but I digress…) - assuming a private coin and private networking, we have a pretty reasonable stack. Add in some vendors who could roll out infra and it’d be swell. We should make and keep those kind of partnerships in a good state.
