Wlecome to the EU Gulag!
We're essentially witnessing dystopian surveillance on a whole new level. It's disheartening to see how easily people comply with such measures. This feels like a backdoor introduction to digital IDs, where your face scan becomes a requirement for logging in or accessing services. If the government deems you unworthy, you'll be locked out.
However, there's still hope for those who value real freedom. Thanks to #Bitcoin and #Nostr you can to opt out of these anti-human systems.
To all the Europeans who feel trapped, I urge you to take a stand. Ditch the regulated platforms and reclaim your autonomy. It's time to 'man up' and fight for your freedom!
Hey! Totally understand the concern. Here’s some context:
We recently removed the Lightning feature from the app to stay focused on its core mission: secure, self-custodial Bitcoin savings. Lightning is still a promising technology, but the current self-custodial experience just wasn’t reliable enough for our users. We’re keeping an eye on it and plan to revisit it once it matures.
As for the face scan, it’s part of our effort to comply with the new EU regulation DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). To protect users from fraud and identity theft, we now require biometric verification, but we do this WITHOUT storing any biometric data.
We use Keyless, a privacy-preserving solution that creates a cryptographic key using your facial scan locally on your device. That data is NEVER stored by us or anywhere else )not on our servers, not in the cloud). It’s just a way to verify that you are you, while keeping your privacy intact.
