I at least appreciate that the very first header is “Why build Proton Wallet?”.

What the hell is Proton’s direction?

I didn’t really care about Scribe but this is just so off-brand. Just what.

They said in the Reddit post that further down the road they want to implement something like Google wallet or apple pay, that would allow for credit card aliases. I think the Bitcoin solution is the one they chose to build a new platform/foundation but without all the regulation and partnerships hassle of making it for traditional payment systems.

Imo after reading it, it doesn’t seem that crazy or off-brand anymore (so long as it gets fleshed out to use something not as transactionally-inefficient as bitcoin).

Edit: their related bitcoin guide has made me change my mind somewhat and think it’s a little crazy. I was viewing this as a stepping stone (almost a functional tech demo) towards something more reasonable, but now it doesn’t look like that’s necessarily what they had in mind @_@
