What could Signal do to prove they aren't a honeypot?

I have no idea if they are or not, but it'd be a disaster if they are. Or maybe not. I suppose people might just shrug it off like the NSA. sigh.

Deterministic binaries? (I forget the correct term) Then just compile yourself from source, and compare to the apk you install.

That doesn't solve the intermediary servers, but if it's e2e encrypted that only matters for metadata.
