To ensure our mission always comes first, Proton is transitioning to a non-profit structure and formalizing our promise of people before profits.

    I wish they just didn’t jump on current hypes, like crypto and AI.

      Proton is in the crypto game?

        They just made a Bitcoin wallet.

          Aye, given their focus on privacy it’s not a huge surprise. Probably something that got asked for a lot in surveys.

          Now if they started shilling ProtonCoin or something…

            Bitcoin is not private. Monero is the privacy coin.

              Both are useless as payment in the real world at any meaningful scale ATM.

                I pay for my VPS and domain with Monero. It will never be as big as Visa, but it doesn’t have to be - it has its niche.

                Meh. Yes and no. There’s actually quite a few places that accept Bitcoin at this point. Alternatively, you can use it to buy gift cards for many different retailers.

                But yeah, you usually can’t walk up to the checkout counter and tap your card, unfortunately.

                  It’s not unfortunate. It’s not accepted as currency because it does none of the things currency is for.

            A LLM to write emails and a crypto wallet were among the least voted/requested features on their last big survey and yet barely a month after the survey was done, they’ve released both things.

            There’s still no calendar widget on Android and iOS and other very basic things that have been widely requested for years now

          Ew oh well. At least unlike brave and others it isn’t shoved in my face all the time. Been a paying user for two years now and I didn’t even know about it lol
