No, it's still part of the official Signal build.

I wish such cruft would be removed from Signal.




Cruft is like dust bunnies, it grows if not cleaned up!

I literally just removed some code from 2021 that was echoing huge JSON files into build logs that nobody looked at.

It reduced the pipeline run duration from 45 to 30 minutes.

Now, a crypto coin will probably be harder to remove, but there's a weird inertia around long-lived repositories where people are afraid to make any changes. Although I hope the crypto portion is feature-flagged and can be somewhat easily disabled.


You know the app is open source, right? You can check this yourself and see how hard it would be to remove.


ah sorry about that, didnt realize it was still in the official build.
