Open source. Donations. https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/bundle/encryption-tools-j...
Donations is not a business model.
Hey, I'm the co-lead developer of Signal. We're looking for help with translations, help us out to bring Signal to as many people as possible: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/signal-ios/ We also pay per commit if you want to help on Open Whisper Systems projects: http://bithub.whispersystems.org/
These seem like incredibly generous payments for such small commits... https://github.com/WhisperSystems/whispersystems.org/commit/... https://github.com/WhisperSystems/whispersystems.org/commit/... https://github.com/WhisperSystems/whispersystems.org/commit/... I was going to donate today, but it seems like the donations are being wasted. I work hard for my money and if my donations go towards a trivial (and arguabl…
I wish they had text messaging. I've been waiting so long for this and it lacks the major feature we need! Hopefully it'll come soon. The reason why this is important these days is that law enforcement now has more access (because the technology is cheaper) to fake cell towers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker Many states are denying FOIA requests regarding this spying but there are several news sto…
I wanted to donate $5 to BitHub using Bitcoin, but Coinbase's overlay doesn't allow you to change the amount (typing a new amount in does nothing). Does anyone know of a way around this? Moxie, if you see this, can you publish some static address we can send funds to as well?

I am also one of the core devs. Actually, none of the Bithub donations go close to being a working wage for any programmer actively working on the repository. We either get paid by grants or are volunteer. Asking us to micromanage Bithub grants for one or two off contributors would only be more work. We went with a "worse is better" strategy with the goal of encouraging people to regularly commit in however they feel…
After looking at that specific developers commit history it seems like he does commit a ton all over the place, these were just the last few and immediately drew my attention.
How does contact discovery work? What happens when run on a device without a (valid) SIM?

I used it to successfully donate $5 without issue. Changing the dollar amount seemed to work for me.

It's possible to do this in a staged way -- basically, give me 100k phone numbers, I'll do automated attacks and catch 25-50k of them (old unpatched OSes for which if I had a $5-10mm budget I'd have 0-days ready, phishing, etc.). Then, use the early victims to catch the rest -- hopefully they're admin assistants, HR people, etc. Targeted attacks on the rest. Black bag jobs on the remainder, using legal or extralegal…

That will always remain an issue: Even if someone manages to create a secure app, the software and hardware platform will never be secure. Hijacking a smartphone by only knowing its number on the other hand does not seem realistic too me. So a source for this claim would be great …
