CAUTION! No privacy on voting app

Currently it is possible to vote using base app only. And the current governance process is violating your privacy.

By using the base app Aeternity will have information about your mobile phone type, your IP and location that they can relate to your Aeternity public key (an address), so be careful if you care about your privacy!

They should give you an option to generate an unsigned transaction which you could sign off offline and propagate to the network.

Will Aeternity Foundation have any plan to address this privacy issue and let the users to sign the transaction the way they want? Or if there is a way how to do this, can you give an instruction how to do this? Let me answer that, currently there are no and privacy is not a point of interest of Aeternity were blockchain enthusiast take it as give!

And before you answer. No, Ledger support is not the answer. Blockchain should not rely on one solution, one company, one device.

Aeternity token holders will not participate in voting and governance because they have limited options to do this. They will not use the only option available - using a shitty base app - which you can use only on the mobile and destroy your privacy. Are you crazy to propose such a retarded solution as the only available option? How many years (or centuries) will we wait for a proper solution?

P.S. I don't use https://forum.aeternity.com/ as they censor and ban users there and recently they started to report legitimate posts on Reddit to mark them as a SPAM. The post concerning privacy issues of the governing procedures were marked as a SPAM on Reddit as well. This forum is the only censorship-resistant so far!

Hello,

If you want an answer to your privacy concerns, you'll have to go to the Forum where developers can directly respond and explain. Nobody has been censored or banned from the Forum, nor from Reddit, except if they have violated the community guidelines.
