Kobeissi’s concerns that users not put themselves at risk when using Cryptocat likely have to do with the program’s limitations. I don't think I was interrogated because Cryptocat is this super incredible encrypted communication tool that scares the US national security - I believe I've been targeted for interrogation simply because of the general nature and apparent popularity of my work.

It’s understandable that a spectrum of online users, from government resisters to cyber criminals and terrorists, would be interested in an encrypted, untraceable chat service.īut just because US security developed an interest in the developer, in Cryptocat and in its cryptographic strength, we shouldn’t foster unrealistic ideas about what the application can do, Kobeissi told me, reiterating an earlier tweet: Examples include communications between those who participated in the uprisings of the Arab Spring. If and when the application reaches its potential, it will provide a safe way for people to communicate when such communications could put their lives at risk.

I’d say they were a good time investment for the sake of “what if?”.

I see these almost as free lottery tickets. My passive income app routine takes about 5 minutes. Sure, I’m not getting much out of it, but it’s easy. I go through all the apps which provide a small amount of passive income just by regularly nudging them. One of the first things I do in bed while trying to not accidentally lift the blanket and let in the arctic cold is my Crypto app routine.

Or, because my phone battery is moments away from dying and I make a mad dash to plug it in.

In fact, the only reason I typically get out of bed in the morning is because of this troublesome thing I have called a “job”. After I’ve gone for a brisk, early morning run I’ll log in on my laptop in the office to check mail, play on Merge cats for an hour, and then get straight on to writing my next Merge Cats review … well, not quite.Īctually, when the winter cold sets in, I stay in bed under the warm sheets as long as reasonably possible.
