@tony @dcid it does when not using major exchanges. The extra fees for non-KYC purchases are worth every penny and I heard it stated, and it makes sense to me at least, that the real price of any are what non-KYC charge. The KYC exchanges sell at a 'discount' in order to collect all the extra data they get in the process

“Yet the exchange noted that in the event it ever declared bankruptcy, “the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings.”

How does anyone keep any of their assets in @coinbase moving forward?

One of the most important feature requests we've heard from you is "WHERE THE HECK IS MY #THUNDERBIRD MOBILE APP?"

Here's a straight answer:

YES, we're excited to announce that an Android version of Thunderbird is coming!

We'll have more details to share with you in a few weeks. We'll talk to you about it here, and over on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net.

Important point made here: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/05/elephant-in-the-room-clean-energys-need-for-unsustainable-minerals/

While moving to renewable energy is critical, we can't forget that renewable energy generation requires the use of specific valuable minerals, the mining of which has its own environmental and social issues. Recycling is good, but still not perfect (recycling plants can leak toxins into their surrounding areas). To reduce the *need* for mining and recycling, we need to use less energy. Not on an individual, "turn off the light when you leave the room!!" level, either, but on a society-wide level.

Clean up the web!

A reminder that you, as a developer, can make a difference on the Web simply by choosing not to perpetuate people farming on your own sites and apps.
