I at least appreciate that the very first header is “Why build Proton Wallet?”.
Uhmm can we got Proton Drive for Linux first please??
Or make it work properly on Mac?
Can we please get full parity between the webapps and the native apps on iOS? The damn calendar widget on iOS?

What the hell is Proton’s direction?
I didn’t really care about Scribe but this is just so off-brand. Just what.
They said in the Reddit post that further down the road they want to implement something like Google wallet or apple pay, that would allow for credit card aliases. I think the Bitcoin solution is the one they chose to build a new platform/foundation but without all the regulation and partnerships hassle of making it for traditional payment systems.
Edit
Imo after reading it, it doesn’t seem that crazy or off-brand anymore (so long as it gets fleshed out to use something not as transactionally-inefficient as bitcoin).Edit: their related bitcoin guide has made me change my mind somewhat and think it’s a little crazy. I was viewing this as a stepping stone (almost a functional tech demo) towards something more reasonable, but now it doesn’t look like that’s necessarily what they had in mind @_@
Makes sense, a lot of alternatives are sketchy and I think many people don’t realise that Bitcoin transactions are by no means private by default.
I wish I could use it
What a terrible, stupid, and useless idea.
This is the same “private” company which has been ignoring over 2000+ people’s votes for Monero support. It’s ironic how they are now making a cryptocurrency wallet for bitcoin.
The reason they don’t support Monero was adressed in a recent podcast “OptOut” with the CEO of Proton.
TLDR; they fear the biggest companies for auditing their finances, won’t work with them if they do. Which is reasonable, they are a business after all.
See @protonprivacy , that’s the kind of boost from the Lemmy side that I don’t understand…
