Guess they gotta hit you with the under-utilization "convenience fee" for $1.99? /s

Getting an external review/audit done is a common courtesy of privacy-conscious projects. You're totally free to do your own audit, if you write a report and disclose responsibly, I'll pay you $100 or more in a cryptocurrency of your choice.

It's not horrible to make money from good software, but nowadays lots of the things people do to attract VCs are plain stupid. It's an attack on that, the ones who "ship startups in an afternoon" and seek to build a moat around basic features in the hope that some corpo will buy in and get trapped.

I wasn't alive in the 90s, and barely was in the 00s.

That's just using Trocador with referral fees.

You could just use Trocador directly and skip the "hackerish" aesthetic and save 2% on fees.

nohell··on SimpleX Channels, SimpleX Network Consortium and Community Crowdfunding

I do not trust Evgeny or his "bow to the law" approach which is antithetical to the largely darknet userbase. Software should be governed by the people, not by VC firms.

It's worth noting that it's not possible to disable the official servers for now, which do censor lots of content.

Oh and the app is incredibly unstable and has a tendency to leak memory until it crashes the host.
