A big news for SimpleX Chat privacy and security: Android apps released via GitHub and F-Droid are now 100% reproducible! It means that you can easily verify that the app is secure, even if the download site was hacked. From v6.5 our release process is: 1) build Android apps on two independent machines and confirm they are 100% identical; 2) cryptographically "sign" them; 3) add signature files to the release page so you can verify. v6.5 beta.3 release: Server and Linux desktop builds were already reproducible, and Android APKs are now as secure. Anyone can check it themselves - no coding needed, just follow our simple guide to verify the app is genuine or run the build yourself: image

I don't see the need for an additional blockchain. Timestamping can be performed on the Timechain & cryptographic signatures don't require a blockchain. You probably already get a sense of the cost that the mere suggestion of an additional token caused. Shitcoins have cost most of us an untold amount of time & value in entertaining them. There's a good reason why we detest them. If you need funding for servers I suggest you conduct a zap raiser each month to cover your costs.
