If you're willing to share, have you tried the service yet? If so, did you get what you wanted? How was the user experience?

[–] byte1000@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Good to know. Thank you for your answers!

Cool.

And what about identifiable and personal information? Such as physical address, phone number, full name etc? Is there any requirement to provide it to you or them?

When you say there's no KYC, does it mean that you don't require it or that both you and the card provider don't require KYC?

Yes, I've never used it with Coinbase. I don't live in the US, and I don't think Coinbase is even available in my country.

Moon/PayWithMoon was way better, convince me otherwise.

Additionally, if you share your account with other people and haven’t enabled two-factor authentication, you may not want to join the Sentinel program, as it will increase your chance of being challenged during logins.

I wonder, so why not just force Sentinel program users to enable 2FA?

If an app on one device connects to an app on another via Veilid, it shouldn't be possible for either client to know the other's IP address or location from that connectivity, which is good for privacy, for instance. The app makers can't get that info, either.

Is that considered a new thing? I don't think I've ever encountered a P2P service/protocol that also masks IP addresses.

When you hide read posts, are my own posts hidden? Is there a distinction between read posts on my feed versus read posts on a specific community page? Or maybe it just hides everything?

[–] byte1000@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

No, at least not on Android.

I understand what you said. I'm saying that most of the time, what happens is actually the opposite of what you said.

and it keeps on asking me to update proton mail to 3.0.16, and this version is not on the play store.

Version 3.0.16 has been on the Play Store for quite some time, I've got it updated through Aurora Store. Since July 25th to be precise. So it took them about 17 days to publish it to GitHub, after pushing it to Play Store.

The Play Store doesn't always push an update at the same time to all users. So instead, they have a Staged Rollout. Here's an example from this article, it's not related specifically to Proton.

I think they're pushing the update to the Play Store before they publish it to GitHub.

That's so annoying, as an F-Droid user, to almost always be one version behind. It also might have security implications that I'm not aware of.
