Anybody have any experience with mobilecoin? What is the use case for it? Seems kind of pointless and a lot more tedious than just a bank transfer. Why does signal include crypto nonsense in their app (I like crypto, but just can't see any reason why it should be integrated in the app). I'm sad that signal does not have support for 3rd party open source clients that could remove such features. Why not add support for monero instead?

imagine if talking to the people around you required you calling a central phone depot first before being connected to the person next to you

Meanwhile, our Lemmy conversation is just like that, except instead of one central telephone provider, there are at least two (yours and mine). The risk surface has doubled!
