Criticism on the scope and reliability of MOB's reliance on SGX, any thoughts ?
There is a distinction between "begin wrong" and "being so absolutely wrong that making a statement transparently communicates how small one's understanding is". The second applies here. He is absolutely wrong here. SGX is one aspect that has some beneficial contribution to the overall ideas in MobileCoin. It is not at all an elementary part. You can read here in detail what happens if SGX would be totally pwned: https://github.com/mobilecoinfoundation/mobilecoin/blob/master/fog-threat-model-2.1.0.md

Is anyone able to withdraw MOB from Bitfinex?
General thoughts for a MobileCoin Fog Threat Model can be found here: https://github.com/mobilecoinfoundation/mobilecoin/blob/master/fog-threat-model-2.1.0.md E.g. you find a summary of what an 'SGX-compromising Adversary with root on Fog Infrastructure' can achieve.

There is a new payment feature in Signal (Good!) but the implementation makes me feel slightly cheated about the platform itself.
Since you're passionate about the topic, it might make sense to read a bit about why Signal chose MobileCoin as well as MobileCoin's design goals.

Monero fork? Whose mining it then?
You are welcome to audit the code yourself.

For some in depth details, The Mechanics of MobileCoin

how is this NOT a cash grab?
That's not the official whitepaper, this is a very outdated spec - this is the latest up-to-date whitepaper https://github.com/UkoeHB/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin/blob/master/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin-v0-0-39-preview-10-11.pdf

Mobilecoin - What I've gathered (because information is SCARCE)
Blockchains can use DAGs. Check out this pdf document which you can find in this github repo. It explains some details of mobile coin.
- Alternative to Signal
- Thoughts on Ristretto abstractions over curve E25519 with Schnorr-style multilayered linkable spontaneous anonymous group signatures?
-
Signal Messenger just announced that they will integrate Mobilecoin (MOB) as a payment method (already working in the UK)
It is based on monero, from their whitepaper edit of zero to monero it looks to be Monero + Stellar Consensus with SGX so they're trading some privacy and a lot of decentralisation for speed.

Help Us Test Payments in Signal
This whitepaper is not the whitepaper I wrote back in 2017. We took that down because it was ultimately not the design we implemented. The full system design can be found here: https://github.com/UkoeHB/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin/blob/maste....
