That is untrue.

We do not plan any coins.

We plain a private payment mechanism for the servers that will utilize blockchain for valid reasons - we call it Community Vouchers. But they are not coins, they are service credits that cannot be created out of nothing (as coins) and cannot be sold - they can only be used to pay for the servers.

It's covered here: https://simplex.chat/vouchers

Whitepaper on that design will be published in early 2026.

Disclaimer: I designed SimpleX network

"Buy Community Vouchers. Initially you would pay with a stablecoin (USDT/USDC). "

You're literally requiring people to buy specific cryptocurrencies to buy your community vouchers.

Hmm that's still very 'crypto'.

I understand that servers need to be paid for but that's why I run my own matrix server. So I pay for that and for the users on it. Much nicer than having to trust another party to run them.

What’s wrong with being “very ‘crypto’” when you use a real use case crypto can solve?

Feels like a use of a ledger technology where everyone is a stranger in a way that isn't a credit and debit system in a relational databse.
