GrapheneOS? Tor?

What are you talking about? In what sense do those services “use” cryptocurrency?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They both accept crypto currency donations.

Eh. That's different. I get what you mean and I'm not even trying to weigh in on whether they should allow or disallow, but they also "use" the credit card system. That doesn't mean someone should imply that they are endorsing it.

I would say they are endorsing it by using it, but lets not split hairs. Not being about to talk about a funding part of many privacy tools is too restrictive for a privacy community.

I feel like I just raised a counterexample to this. Like, literally just, in the very short message you're responding to.

Again: Misleading. If you want to talk about crypto, fine. Be honest about what you want to do and why you think it's important.
