    Nobody is going to use Signal when it lacks so many features. Feels like MSN messenger compared to it’s peers.

      what do you mean? i use it a lot and it works great, photos, videos, phone calls, optional temporary location sharing with friends, and encryption.

      what features do you want it to have that it’s lacking?

    My only gripe with signal, is the use of phone numbers as usernames. Not everyone with whom I want to communicate via signal has a phone number. I understand why they went this route, but wish there was an alternative way.

      It creeps me the fuck out. I do not get why a service that bills itself as secure needs to know something that can be traced back to my credit card and name. I won’t use Telegram or Signal because of this.

        The Signal pitch is that you don’t need identity security so long as the encryption is strong enough.

        That is, incidentally, the same pitch Botcoiner make.
