  • Old comment, but i’ll reply anyway.

    Regarding decentralized governance: There is no official repository as there are multiple differing node implementations. You will find that neither one holds a significant majority consensus. Especially when compared to BTC or specifically, Bitcoin Core. Each node author is significant in regards to CHIP.

    As a matter of fact, pretty recently, an outdated node implementation was able to garner development funds via Flipstarter in order to keep it in consensus. Nodes are actively funded by the community in order to keep decentralization.

    BCH at this point in time very well does fit the definition of Decentralized. It is not misleading.

    Also, +1 for 0-conf on XMR.


  • From what I’ve researched, Beeper’s servers are only used when you use their push-notification service as it’s not possible to use Apple’s own push notifications(obviously). Everything else is done locally (encryption and what not). You don’t even need an Apple ID, just a phone number.

    The backend code is already open source, however their app isn’t, so there is a bit of trust involved. Also, the app isn’t free so that sucks. There are plans to open source it though.

    You can also try iMessage using the link I sent previously, all trustless and independent from Beeper.

    If Beeper decides not to open-source their app, someone capable could definitely step up as once again, the underlying tech is open source.

    I advise you to DYOR if you’d like to verify any suspicions, i’m not the best at explaining things.
