The first paragraphs on the donation page:The goal is to build a secure messaging app with integrated support for Monero payments and a decentralized backend.
The application will be based on the Signal fork Molly.im (henceforth ‘Molly’) but with a privacy-focused backend that allows the user to sign up anonymously (without phone number), encrypt their local database with passphrase encryption, RAM shredding, and more.
Monero features will include the ability to set up a XMR wallet, send and receive funds, keep track of the balance, and review the history.
Payment does NOT belong in a messenger, way too high a risk of an exploit in one leading to control over the other.
It is optional and will be able to be fully disabled easily
Disabled != Not even in the binary. Buffer overflows regularly lead to executing “disabled” (read: behind an “if” statement) code.
