im a little confused what the argument is here. TFA is implying a bunch of server code is being updated without telling anyone, violating their open-source stance. then they release a post, possibly in response to criticism, saying they've been working on a major feature thats ready for its beta release. so now youre arguing the feature they chose to work on feels yucky? this is textbook goalpost moving.
i use signal and my impression of moxie is extremely positive. at face value, a payment system built by moxie and the signal team with cryptocurrency screams "incredible". kind of taken aback by the overwhelming negativity around here.
