It’s sad to see Simplex fall into the tempting smart-contract blockchain token trap.
This is also why Keychat uses ecash sats as postage stamps for messages.
This is very disappointing to see. Looks like the opposite of growth. And for the record I don’t want SimpleX relays. I thought the point was for people to ultimately run their own.
They’re trying to scale? For what? “Somebody has to pay for it”. This is not a social media app. I thought it was for personal and group secure messaging that doesn’t fall apart when AWS or their farms get hit by a DoS. I didn’t want to use your servers in the first place, but understand the need for PoC.
Maybe it’s on me for misinterpreting. I guess I was hoping this was about decentralization for as much as that word appears in this recent sales pitch. It appears to be about creating a sustainable business model for them to host.
Was definitely one of my favorite designs. 😔 Please help me understand if I’m missing something here. Possible I misinterpreted the project from the start.
