I’m talking about facts, not talking about you personally. I use Feather from time to time, so I know a little about it. I’m ignorant about many other things, though.
Describing Feather, I’d first say it’s Electrum-like. That may be the #1 reason why someone familiar with Electrum may want to consider using Feather. I’d also say coin control—which is something you can’t do with the official GUI. Unlike Bitcoin, coin control is usually unnecessary, except if you mine, you’ll get a lot of tiny coins and the inside of your wallet will quickly become messy (like having 10 € all with 1 cent coins, so to speak). That’s where Feather is very helpful 😺
Ok no debate, we are good
Yeah, no hard feelings :) and sorry I was not clear enough originally.
I’m a Tails user having Feather there, so if someone says in the Monero community, “Don’t use Feather on Tails,” then naturally I’ll comment on it, especially if the statement seems to be based on misunderstanding about Tor. But that does not mean I’m attacking that poster personally, and I’ll also ask them to correct me if I’m wrong, because there might be indeed some issues with Tails + Feather that I don’t know yet, and if so I’d really like to learn about them. That’s exactly what I did, but you didn’t reply, so…
Not believing what you read blindly is just common sense. Nothing personal. It’s just “Don’t assume; verify.”
Some other articles on your website, or links in them, are informative for everyone. IIRC one of the links you shared is Google Says It Doesn’t 'Sell' Your Data. Here’s How the Company Shares, Monetizes, and Exploits It. (EFF), a very good one. Keep up the great work!
