- I’m on a family plan and have been a paying customer for about 2/3 years.
- I haven’t bought any Bitcoin yet but will report back on that once I have.
I just got access to Proton Wallet earlier today. Is there anything you’d like to know?
Q&A
Signed up for decent encrypted email and now I feel like Proton’s only goal is to shove so much extra shit down my throat that they’ll choke me to death- and apparently I’m the only subscriber completely uninterested in any of it.
I genuinely don’t get why they made a Bitcoin wallet, but all of their other services are direct competitors to (and imo much better than) the Google suite apps and made it much easier to de-google my life
Proton Wallet is intended to be a Google Wallet alternative. They just started with Bitcoin.
Not going to work without full KYC/AML compliance. Which negates the whole point of using Proton to begin with.
Do you ever use the VPN?
Already have a different provider, so no.
To be fair, why not just drop the other provider and use Proton? Should be cheaper that way. I also didn’t ask for any of this, and use email almost exclusively, but the VPN has come in handy a few times.
Besides this wallet, what are you referring to with ‘extra shit’?
Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, etc- none of these existed when I signed up but here they are. If anything I’d rather opt out of all the extra stuff for a discounted rate, but that’ll never happen.
If you just want Mail, there’s the Mail Plus plan, which is just the Mail (with a little bit of Drive for mail storage) and cheaper than the Unlimited plan. I see what you’re saying though. I’d like more customisable plans too. I use Drive and Mail, but don’t want the others and the Mail Plus plan doesn’t have enough for Drive (for my usecase), so I have to shell out for Unlimited.
