Criticism on the scope and reliability of MOB's reliance on SGX, any thoughts ?
There is a distinction between "begin wrong" and "being so absolutely wrong that making a statement transparently communicates how small one's understanding is". The second applies here. He is absolutely wrong here. SGX is one aspect that has some beneficial contribution to the overall ideas in MobileCoin. It is not at all an elementary part. You can read here in detail what happens if SGX would be totally pwned: https://github.com/mobilecoinfoundation/mobilecoin/blob/master/fog-threat-model-2.1.0.md

Is anyone able to withdraw MOB from Bitfinex?
General thoughts for a MobileCoin Fog Threat Model can be found here: https://github.com/mobilecoinfoundation/mobilecoin/blob/master/fog-threat-model-2.1.0.md E.g. you find a summary of what an 'SGX-compromising Adversary with root on Fog Infrastructure' can achieve.

There is a new payment feature in Signal (Good!) but the implementation makes me feel slightly cheated about the platform itself.
Since you're passionate about the topic, it might make sense to read a bit about why Signal chose MobileCoin as well as MobileCoin's design goals.

Monero fork? Whose mining it then?
You are welcome to audit the code yourself.

MobileCoin is incompetent, you need a paid Amazon S3 account to run a validator node.

The xz sshd backdoor rabbithole goes quite a bit deeper
Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal v7.0.0 with phone number privacy
There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?
Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Apple Just Confirmed Governments Are Spying on People’s Phones With Push Notifications
Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)
