Huge thank you to all for feedback and suggestions on Community Vouchers plan!

FAQ:

1. Can we still use our servers?

Yes, and it will be improved (read full FAQ). Community Vouchers are completely opt-in, and intended only for server payments by the large groups.

(1/5) 🧵 Image 2. How is it possible to provide privacy on public blockchain?

In the same way as we provide private communications on the public Internet - by using per-purchase addresses, not per user as in wallet apps, and by using zero-knowledge proofs to verify ownership.

Why SimpleX network needs to use a decentralized blockchain to achieve growth:
1. To make servers and groups sustainable. As EVM blockchains (Ethereum etc.) added support for zero-knowledge proofs, smart contracts seem a good fit for secure payments for server capacity. 🧵 (1/7) 2.

We agree.

But there is no existing solution for using the same profile on multiple devices without compromising security more than we're comfortable with. In time, we will find a better balance for UX/security than now and then what is offered elsewhere. 🧵 Why don't we just do what Signal / WhatsApp do? They, effectively, convert each direct conversation into a group. This approach has some solvable and some unsolvable problems:

by @securemess is the great comparison of messaging apps, but there are several incorrect statements about @SimpleXChat there. Commenting in thread 🧵below.securemessagingapps.com 1. Main reasons why the app isn't recommended: Provide a transparency report

It is available online and updated at least quarterly, or if anything changes: simplex.chat/transparency/
