Since Monero is a privacy coin, why is there no libre monero app available without any anti-features? There’s a Zcash app, a couple of bitcoin apps, who no Monero?

I don’t use the standard that if something is on F-Droid then it’s private. I check that an app does not have any anti-features to know that it can be used anonymously

            Not yet, but I believe there is currently one under some sort of development. From what I understand so far, you have to compile the program in Termux and then run this app to connect to it locally.

    There’s something you need to know about the “anti-features” flags on F-Droid.

    They’re too “greedy” and widely defined. What you really need to do is examine the app and how the developer might use said “Anti-Feature”. Not all internet access and telemetry is an anti-feature, and neither is reliance on a “third party service” where you can simply configure your app to use your own self-hosted server instance.

    An app having no “Anti-Features” flag on F-Droid is absolutely not an informative indicator that it respects your privacy. Merely, it indicates common privacy foot-guns may not be present.

    Frequently F-Droid also is far too opinionated in it’s application of the anti-feature flags; giving developers no reason or chances to appeal or change the decisions. It does not matter if the anti-feature flag is mis-applied in any specific situation; nor does it matter if the developer shouldn’t be getting an anti-feature label because they have everything open sourced and it’s clear to see there is no anti-feature there.
