Yeah I wondered about this. It's interesting to have this as part of their products. Is Proton a honey pot?
Good read. Lol

For the record. Andy Yen was at MIT not CERN.
BTW: Signal

They have a compelling suite of products.
I love Proton Mail but their wallet looks sketchy as fuck
Is this a honeypot?
If you want an open source wallet with great features without giving your credit card then check out

You don't have to pay with your card, nor link it to your phone number or other email.

Exactly! And you can create a proton account on their .onion site without any recovery amail or whathever..
Proton accounts can be paid for with Bitcoin
not cool
Bad copy, definitely, but it's built on Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK), so the foundation is rock solid.

Proton's design is to only store your keys encrypted (by your browser or app) on their servers. The same privacy model you have with ProtonMail. The BDK based wallet code also runs locally in your browser (wasm) or phone app.
The code is open source so you're welcome to see exactly how it works. Certainly a trade off of user experience vs security, but better than the closed, fully custodial systems out there.

Yes, would make even more sense if they implement https://spark.info/ L2 Bitcoin when released.
they better be gonna make it open source or forget it lol
ugh typescript
also, that is just an SDK, that has to be open source, or at least open spec, or nobody can use it
In some days they will release it on https://docs.spark.info/
as someone who has studied lightning protocol i'm extremely skeptical and nothing short of open source will convince anyone who is also familiar with the inner workings of the protocol
no open source = no trust
Ok
