Is your backend open source, or not?

Haven’t seen the git updated in a while.

This is either the mandela effect (I know for a fact that the server was stuck on "April 2020" for at least 6 months), or Signal intentionally hid development and then revealed it all when they realized it was bad PR.

No, they just pushed today. They presumably didn't want to talk about MobileCoin before it was ready.

I saw that not too long ago myself. Purely speculation here, but perhaps they opted not to publish any commits until they had a chance to have their MobileCoin implementation audited? Just wish they had been more forthcoming about why they were not pushing commits.

No, you're absolutely right. The repo had indeed been stuck on "April 2020". I last checked it two days ago.

How could they pump the coin overnight if they were forthcoming about their roadmap?
