    While cool, this article is a bit old

    Published on June 17, 2024

    No problem with sharing it again, this is more for anyone else who was wondering if new details were released

      They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn’t getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

            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…

              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

                  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.

                  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.
