That's not the official whitepaper, this is a very outdated spec - this is the latest up-to-date whitepaper https://github.com/UkoeHB/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin/blob/master/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin-v0-0-39-preview-10-11.pdf

Blockchains can use DAGs. Check out this pdf document which you can find in this github repo. It explains some details of mobile coin.
- Alternative to Signal
- Thoughts on Ristretto abstractions over curve E25519 with Schnorr-style multilayered linkable spontaneous anonymous group signatures?

Signal Messenger just announced that they will integrate Mobilecoin (MOB) as a payment method (already working in the UK)
It is based on monero, from their whitepaper edit of zero to monero it looks to be Monero + Stellar Consensus with SGX so they're trading some privacy and a lot of decentralisation for speed.

Help Us Test Payments in Signal
This whitepaper is not the whitepaper I wrote back in 2017. We took that down because it was ultimately not the design we implemented. The full system design can be found here: https://github.com/UkoeHB/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin/blob/maste....

āI will show you how safe Telegram isā
The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).
Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

"The Signal client is built non-reproducibly, so you actually don't know whether it's running the source code available on Github."
Itās actually the signal server that isnāt reproducible because of the abusive message filter thatās in a private repository. Itās clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
