There’s a link in the second paragraph to the technical details

I'm reminded of this mindset from the crypto scam surge.

Points at technical documents

"Well, it says it's secure so quit arguing that it's not secure"

Typically followed by

"If someone traced you/robbed you, then you were just doing it wrong"

Like, we've got high level white house officials feeding national security secrets to the Israelis because they just blindly implemented a "secure" Signal extension. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised people don't look past the cover.

But come on. "You can just buy some tokens and then you're secure" is painfully naive.

I’m out here trying to answer reasonable questions techie folks might have about the most promising possibility I’ve seen so far for getting our normie families off of Google.

What are you here for? Calling people naive pseudo-scammers? Get out of here.
