Did anyone else notice a bunch of their phone contacts suddenly join signal this week?As someone who has been preaching it for 2 years, it's satisfying to see the movement start.Minds are about to open to bitcoin.

@MultiBitcoiner all it took was a tweet from Musk

@jeffreyspears yep. Many factors coalescing this week. A good half of all North Americans are waking up to some fundamental truths of the current tech oligopoly regime.

@MultiBitcoiner mine were on telegram. Had 20 pop up. One is the owner of my company and a multi millionaire. Everyone sick of the BS

@Codyonamission imagine telling them that trump can't run an e-commerce store without bitcoin. Mind blown

@MultiBitcoiner So far I haven’t granted Signal access to my contacts. Makes me nervous to do that.Is there a way to be certain that it’s safe?

@telekinesis my understanding is that signal only knows your phone number. But it doesn't tie identity to phone number.I believe they are working on getting rid of the phone number requirement. Everything they develop is difficult because they have zero data to work with. They can't test user experience very well.I don't know how the relationship works with signal detecting your contacts that join.Sorry not a good answer I know. Without knowledge of code I'm often stuck on a trust model

@MultiBitcoiner it took me far too long, but finally made the switch to Signal and found a bunch of contacts already there.

@griffin signal is lit... one of my proudest achievements is that I've converted like 25 ppl to move there.And lately I've been finding out that many of them have converted a bunch of others

@MultiBitcoiner It seems that giving them my phone number would allow them to easily tie things to my real identity.Maybe they can’t read the content of my messages but it seems like they still have the metadata of who I messaged and when I messaged them.If I grant them access to all of my contacts then it seems like they can begin to construct a social graph where they know who the communicating parties are and the frequency of the communication.

@telekinesis the claim is that they don't have that. I understand though and good to be skeptical.As I said I unfortunately have to rely on trust not being able to read the code.

@telekinesis @MultiBitcoiner if they give them my entire phonebook then it seems that they can determine every person and organization that I have a relationship with even if I don’t ever message them on Signal.

@telekinesis "they" don't have access to your phone book. The app detects other signal members.I agree though. It will be good when they eliminate phone numbers

@MultiBitcoiner I can code a bit but definitely not enough to read through and understand the source.Signal’s website doesn’t have an answer that explains things to my satisfaction.But am I to understand that there is no central server required for informing me that someone in my contacts is now on Signal? Are they hashing people’s phone numbers on-device and then server-side are comparing hashes only??I’m sure you don’t have an answer for me but I’m just asking the question.

@MultiBitcoiner I'm getting tons of notifications from both Signal and Telegram, very satisfying :)
