Oooo even better!

Someone said 5m, so I dunno but that’s not enough people to make change. Next year?!

12m is the breaking point. Maybe next year.

That’s good. To work it has to hit that magical 3.5%, so that’s roughly 12,000,000 or an average of 4,800 people per location…

I’m curious to see the estimated turnout

It’s older than all of those. Anyone can do it, I would guess. Although, it’s range isn’t as good.

Just use a whisper

While Signal is definitely one of the more secure Methods of communication, it requires a phone number to sign up. I realize that phone number may be stored somewhat securely… But it is definitely an anonymity issue. They just simply should not require this. Also, no matter what any company says, I just don’t trust them with any amount of information. So, if I was going to use an online messaging service to commit crimes, I definitely wouldn’t use something that I did not have 100% control over. But of course, do I have those skills? I think I might, but… I’m not building my own encryption for good reason.

Yes. Agreed. It’s one thing to build a rest API for a chat client, it’s another to think you’re smart enough to outsmart a trained professional with a “quantum computer”

And if speed is not a concern you can always use a really slow encryption. Even 10 seconds for a short message can be perceived as an acceptable amount of time but in the world of encryption 10 seconds will generate a very very secure message

Neither of those are safe. Needs to be self hosted outside the country, as you said. Roll your own or don’t do it at all.
