I don't have anything to add besides that I would love to see Seth back in the future! Or possibly as a guest on Unplugged? He and Chris are so got me interested in "crypto." Chris with BTC/Lightning, Seth with Monero. I am a Monero Miner.

After listening to Seth explain how Signal's centralization is an exception to the rule because of the privacy respecting design and open source verifiability, and how there are some benefits to be had, I am reminded of BitWarden, the password manager. It is a related project as secrets storage are a part of the privacy and security story. I would be interested in either your or Seth's take on BitWarden, including the fact that you could opt to self host the server, but not with Signal.
