Don't hand over your email. Don't hand over your name. Don't hand over your social media. Don't hand over any personally identifiable information to use Bitcoin, no matter how new and shiny the latest toy is. The biggest gaping security hole is the one you dig yourself.

Don't use mobile wallets of any kind. Use full node.

Full node? Yes. Cold storage? Yes, if you are hodling and have shit to put aside. Don't know about you but I need a wallet on the street. That's how I roll.

When you have mobile wallet regardless of how works (server backend or spv) google/apple knows you using bitcoin. Dojo will remove reliance on server so that's better for sure. On the other hand i know what you saying...

Lots of anti lite client shit flying around recently. Total denial of reality as it is lived on the street, imo.

Google/apple and mobile phone architecture is spyware galore. Gsm chip for example is connected to memory bus and can read any memory location. That Librem phone trying to do things right both hardware and software wise.

> Gsm chip for example is connected to memory bus and can read any memory location Whether or not a component is part of the SoC isn't directly connected to whether or not it's isolated. Separate chips often have DMA, and SoC components usually have better IOMMU configuration.

The claim you're repeating is incorrect. It's a falsehood propagated as part of marketing for products that are making a dishonest attempt to distinguish themselves from existing mainstream devices while they are objectively delivering hardware offering less privacy and security.

I know you are researcher focused on privacy/security in android. What's your opinion on Librem phone and how much is an upgrade re. Privacy/security from usual android phones?

Replying to

The desktop Linux software stack is a substantial downgrade from the Android Open Source Project, drastically rolling back privacy and security to an extreme extent. The SoC choice is also a security downgrade, and either way it's still all proprietary rather than open hardware.
