Comment on Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides
asap@lemmy.world 1 week agoOh I agree with you. I am a daily crypto user and I have no use for this wallet. I was just offering some things it adds which might be useful.
Lightning is a big missed opportunity. Phoenix is the only wallet I know that has solved this in a user-friendly way.
(I did also mention that it only works between Proton accounts.)

Yeah, not trying to argue with you or anything, it’s just a pretty big disappointment for me. I really want to be able to do privacy-friendly transactions, and I guess I wish someone like Proton or Mozilla would that up.
Something like a Proton Wallet could be really cool if I could add a few different payment options (e.g. XMR, BTC, credit, debit, bank transfer), and then pick the one I want at checkout based on what the vendor supports. They could add this to a phone app and get tap-to-pay working, which would really lower the barrier to people using crypto. It would then be backed by Proton’s privacy and security (e.g. stored on encrypted Proton Drive, no logging, etc).
I probably still wouldn’t use it because I don’t trust any single entity with all of my data, but if it appeals to the mass market, then I benefit as well.
So yeah, I guess I’m just frustrated and disappointed.
