Messengers only matter if people use them. So, thank you for your support, for telling your friends, for getting your group chats on Signal, and for supporting our work with donations.
It’s an honor to build Signal for you. We literally could not do it without you.
Ive been thinking about this and am curious how you plan to fund the support and development going forward; i like the way Mullvad do it - well worth checking out! I would pay if it was a no-brainer price. I’d like to see a breakdown of costs and realistic plans to keep Signal out of the hands of nefarious corporations.

As to costs hope this helps:

Thanks!
$50 million a year and ~40 million users.
So an annual donation of $5 pays for me and three other users - cool 
To pay for everything at just $5 a year would only need 1/4 of users to make a donation.
This makes it seem doable and worth donating to, I was wondering if it was even achievable, but this information makes it very clear.
Thoughts:
I can ask people to do this - it makes sense - it's a no brainer - a random donation is too vague.
Cheers
