We used to have that for a while, a few years back, and it was great. They dropped it though shortly after because aBuSe. They thought we wouldn't abuse it for some reason.

It was supposed to be a one time code for YOU to withdraw withoud having to bring a card BTW, not other people.

It sounded interesting to me too (initially) don't get me wrong. It can supposedly be melted, it can also get damaged pretty easily and most importantly, there is no way of verifying I'm buying what is being advertised.

The FAQ is all marketing and nothing of value, have a look. The "can it be faked" part gives it all away. There's nothing to do with gold, you trust the company and their "patented technology".

More options are always better, this is not one.

It feels more like a scam than an innovative form of money. I'm not sold on the intrinsic value of a few snowflakes of gold, assuming they are there in the first place.

I've been keeping an eye since the beginning and I can't say I've seen interest growing. Other than the occasional 5 dolar novelty gift, you have to wonder what's wrong with coins? They are easy to verify and way more durable. What is the innovation here? The need to trust an issuer?

What version of android are you running? if you don't mind me asking. It's been ages since I've last had an issue with monerujo.

Absolutely. The developer seems adamant about it too. Pretty Good Privacy is what PGP stands for and that's the best we can get. Not absolute, not amazing, not extremely good. Pretty good with careful planning can get good enough in most cases. It takes work and it never gets easy sadly.

Hence the "may already..." depending on use case obviously. You can't really recommend anything to someone who may be at risk, certainly not Signal. Not that I have anything against Signal (I use it daily and have been for years) but anonymous it isn't, not in big part of the world anyway.

For anyone who absolutely needs anonymity, simplex may already be better.

No issue, I was just curious. Keep it up!

I get that, I was just making sure I wasn't missing anything
