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.

MobileCoin is incompetent, you need a paid Amazon S3 account to run a validator node.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
lua on its own right can be fun too! If you are looking for a project to contribute to, there's for instance the Prosody XMPP server that's written in it, and contributes to the betterment of internet by promoting federated protocols.
There's also the http://prosody.im/ XMPP server that's written in Lua, and it's very successful there. The other major XMPP server implementation is in Erlang and they are equally praised, so that should tell something about Lua's versatility.

A History of Lua
You can write largish standalone application in Lua and it is not always a poor choice - Prosody [1] first comes to mind. But qualities which make it a good embedded language make it less _attractive_ for other uses.
Lua has very simple syntax and small stdlib which allows its implementation to be very small - you can add Lua to your application and not increase its size significantly. But when the size is not a concern most programmers prefer languages with rich, powerful syntax lots of features and batteries-included stdlib (which is completely opposite of Lua).

Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?
If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?
My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of.
That said, the right stack is generally the one that matches your requirements, and (if this isn't primarily a learning exercise) whatever you're most familiar with. The hardest part of building a Discord or Slack-like in 2022 is actually not the technical stuff. There are many comprehensive open-source products already out there that compete with these companies, such as Mattermost, RocketChat and Element.
