    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

            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…

                  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.

                  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.

              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

            Ew oh well. At least unlike brave and others it isn’t shoved in my face all the time. Been a paying user for two years now and I didn’t even know about it lol
