While cool, this article is a bit old
Published on June 17, 2024
No problem with sharing it again, this is more for anyone else who was wondering if new details were released
They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn’t getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.
Wasn’t it part of a catch-up of the past year of news or something?
Fair call. I only just got the community update so I hadn’t seen it.
I’ll simp for proton all day and this is just another reason why
I wish they just didn’t jump on current hypes, like crypto and AI.
Proton is in the crypto game?
They just made a Bitcoin wallet.
Aye, given their focus on privacy it’s not a huge surprise. Probably something that got asked for a lot in surveys.
Now if they started shilling ProtonCoin or something…
Bitcoin is not private. Monero is the privacy coin.
Both are useless as payment in the real world at any meaningful scale ATM.
I pay for my VPS and domain with Monero. It will never be as big as Visa, but it doesn’t have to be - it has its niche.
Meh. Yes and no. There’s actually quite a few places that accept Bitcoin at this point. Alternatively, you can use it to buy gift cards for many different retailers.
But yeah, you usually can’t walk up to the checkout counter and tap your card, unfortunately.
A LLM to write emails and a crypto wallet were among the least voted/requested features on their last big survey and yet barely a month after the survey was done, they’ve released both things.
There’s still no calendar widget on Android and iOS and other very basic things that have been widely requested for years now
I have a calendar widget on my Samsung S22.
Ew. I just noticed this when I logged into my GoDaddy account too.
Ew oh well. At least unlike brave and others it isn’t shoved in my face all the time. Been a paying user for two years now and I didn’t even know about it lol
