    Daniel is extremely paranoid, and I don’t say that lightly - he is mentally ill. And any interaction with him will reveal the severity in short order.

    Not to say he isn’t a genius, and I stand by my theory that Graphene OS is as secure as it is now because of that paranoia. But he needs serious psychological help.

      SS7 etc. But people think that magic happens at Grapheneos with its own telecommunications infrastructure (Oh, it uses the same infrastructure as other devices… it also needs ISPs and such to function as a cell phone. Hmm. )… no… the SS7 protocol is used at Grapheneos too. By the way, the connection to the cell tower might be encrypted… it gets interesting when that cell tower also uses satellite communication—there’s so much unencrypted traffic there.

      What have people learned from Snowden to this day? Nothing—absolutely nothing. People run from one honeypot to the next honeypot

    “You’re going to get harassed for writing this,” Donaldson warned me. “No one understands my side of the story.” He told me that he can’t disclose the additional facts that he claims would guarantee his “100 percent win.” “My lawyers are very mad that I’m talking to you,” Donaldson said. “I have to hold my cards close to my chest.”

    Donaldson has a point, for me it’s hard to have much sympathy for someone who tells ‘I was just doing business, morale be damned’, even if I now understand his part of the story (as told by him himself, which is not necessarily same as truly)
