"Also, that's a tweet."
And with that, I will never recommend @ProtonPrivacy if I can at all help it, and I certainly will advise against companies entering into business agreements with them.
While I wasn't involved with Dash back then, in 2016 the Dash Core team worked with Proton to integrate Dash as a payment option, and Proton agreed, and even said so publicly (linked below). They may even have been paid (there were Dash treasury proposals to fund the integration).
Abruptly, they just went silent for 9 long years, until community pestering finally got them to answer. Which they did with casual disdain, saying their commitment was just "a tweet." No apology, no explanation, no nothing. Not a great way of doing business.
I highlight great companies and projects I do business with. Sometimes I have to do the opposite. ☹️
Let this be a warning: this is what happens when you do business with Proton.

Wow! Their commitment was just a tweet? Also, no apology... that's not good.
How could one make a business agreement and take it as a joke and be silent about it for 9 good years?
Who would have thought such a well known company will act this way?
I guess business agreement shouldn't be taken seriously anymore unless there's a proper documentation signed.
It's unfortunate.
Yes, very unfortunate. I won't recommend any company do business with Proton because of this.
wow!
Crazy, isn't it.
mind blowing TBH.
Well, their competitors have come out of the woodwork since then. We'll happily give them business.
Sounds to me they hot pressured from someone to drop this. Sad, thought Proton was a freedom loving tool
I actually don't think so. From what I hear the CEO is a Bitcoin maxi, so it was probably purely ideological.
Haha damn, so he is just that insecure 😅
Yep! Sad.
I saw it on twitter. Not a very positive reaction from the proton team. They need to do better as a business.
Agreed. I haven't heard complaints about their products, but their way of doing business probably has to change.
