If Signal is offering pay-for-media-storage, it would be nice to be able to pay to send full-resolution media. I’m a photographer and every image sent via Signal that isn’t zipped first is TOTALLY DESTROYED by silent recompression.

Also, the donation spam in Signal doesn’t let me donate Mobilecoin from the wallet right inside Signal. What’s the point of having a payments feature if I can’t use it to pay you?

Please allow payments to Signal to be done in Signal’s native payment system.

I would love to subscribe to Signal in a privacy-preserving way.

Have you changed the image quality settings in the app to "High" - I see no mention of that in your blog post.

		Yes, though IIRC the setting didn’t exist until after I wrote that blog post. Even “High” is still total shit. I frequently contemplate hacking the client app and recompiling it to remove image recompression entirely.
