How so wrt Signal?
What are donations being spent on, who makes those decisions, what's the roadmap, what's up with MobileCoin, why the hell do they put so much trust into Intel SGX when there are so many known vulnerabilities, …
I've been a Signal/TextSecure user since day one and have convinced many dozens of people to switch to Signal but, man, they don't exactly make it easy to be a fan.
Isn't their CEO well known?
So?
You said you don't know who makes the decisions.
Meredith Whittaker is not a techie AFAIK. Either way, I'd just like to know more about the thought process going into Signal's product and engineering decisions. The Signal team seems extraordinarily tight-lipped and that doesn't exactly inspire trust from where I stand.
Have you heard her speak? She seems pretty bright to me.
Their blog has (or had?) some extensive technical explanations, for example about their implemenation of features utilizing SGX.
