Elon Musk says X’s DM feature XChat to have ‘Bitcoin-style encryption’
Elon Musk says X’s new direct messaging feature will have “Bitcoin-style encryption,” which Bitcoiners were quick to correct and explain the technicalities.
Social media platform X is rolling out a new messaging feature, XChats, which owner Elon Musk says will have “Bitcoin-style encryption.”
XChat is seemingly a more feature-rich version of the platform’s direct messaging function, which will feature audio and video calling, “encryption, vanishing messages, and the ability to send any kind of file,” Musk said in a June 1 X post.
The new messaging service is built on the Rust programming language, which Musk said had “(Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture.”
