Pillaristas, “hold” us accountable! Always.

It all started when Pablo posted a YouTube video of Pillar Wallet integrated with Facebook. This was the start of a series of posts that the marketing team had charted out as part of our April Fool ’s day prank. We had expected a violent backlash from our community, but what followed was totally unexpected by any of us at Pillar.
Many comments to that video of Pablo were positive or neutral, we hardly received any negative feedback and those that were critical missed the point completely.
The responses to our prank had me thinking the following:
- Our community believes in us and trusts us to do the right thing always! This is truly overwhelming that we enjoy such unwavering support from our users. Not many open source projects enjoy this privilege. So yes, we are thankful and humbled by this gesture.
- However, to err is human. What if we go wrong? What if we inadvertently make the wrong choice somewhere down the line? Who shall keep us in check?
We request the community to always judge us and be critical of us. Yes, features are important but please also verify whether we are staying true to our vision on privacy and decentralization.
