> We're sacrificing almost all the values we stand for
I'm not sure what are you talking about. SimpleX is not a silver bullet. It's trivially decrypt-able by quantum computers. It's also not popular, which means, if/when it becomes popular, only then we'll see how it holds up.
Again - if you think simplex would work - go ahead and implement it. If you can convince the community your solution is better, everyone will switch to it.
nostr is open for everyone. We're just a bunch of folks who've spent some time on the issue we thought was important. No one paid us for it.
