I was referring to banning of users who use third party clients and I do not think it would be particularly hard to do if they really wanted to. You can for example use request patterns or the fact that the unofficial clients do not autoupdate. I doubt that they would go that far, but it would be trivial if they really wanted to.

Banning the set of users that are so passionate about your service that they jumped through hoops to work around your dogshit software is probably not the best decision a product company can make.

FWIW Moxie has claimed to own zero mobilecoin, and Signal/OWS is a nonprofit.
You're accusing him of lying.

Nothing GP said has to contradict either of these. I think you’re accusing them of accusing him of lying. Was Marlinspike paid for his services to mobilecoin, possibly even as CTO? Be more careful with your accusations. https://www.coindesk.com/signal-founder-may-have-been-more-t...
