Straight up disinformation when you say that Signal claims to be decentralized; there's absolutely no sources online claiming that, and the code of the messaging server is literally open-source.

Hey :) technical question, would it be possible to transfer the ownership of my account to another wallet ? I did some testing a year ago and I think I leaked sensitive info about my wallet. I want to rotate just for safety's sake !

Since I applied for ETHDenver, I'm looking everyday to see if I have got a ticket! I hope I will be accepted! I kicked off the administrative work to get a new passport, and will request a VISA ASAP.
