 Love the concept and keen to use @vexl - JOOI why do I need to hand over my phone number to use the platform?  Is there an option to use email or an npub? 

 You don’t, vexl doesn’t see you phone number, no one does. You phone is used to build you social graph. Your phone number is encrypted along with contacts locally on your device. Only the hashes are used to build your web of trust.
