    Nick has not released a public statement on why he “left” the Calyx Institute and I will not be supporting any of his future projects until he gives us an explanation. We’ve heard from Chiryu, Tommy Web, and Oliver Scott. Silence from Nick. Why?

      What were their (Tommy Web and Oliver Scott) official statements on the matter? I mean, besides the generic one that Chiryu gave of them having different goals/visions. Or was that it? If so, it seems that Calyx wanted to continue with providing their privacy products and Nick maybe didn’t fully agree with that, and, so, they parted ways. Now he has a carrier. Seems off.

        Here’s tmw’s

        and Oliver’s was in the Calyx matrix so I’m not exactly sure how to find and link to that. That’s what im saying though is that Nick very clearly did not leave on good terms, and now he’s starting a company? Why did he leave? Its puzzling

          Thanks!

          It is puzzling. I finished reading the article, and it could be that Calyx was doing things Nick didn’t like, so left (as opposed to Nick doing things that Calyx didn’t like). But, without his statement, it’s their word against his silence. If this phone company is genuinely what he states, it could be a game changer. But I’m not going to trust it at all, until it’s fully proven and he comes out with his statement.

            I feel the same, I would love to support this new company if it is to be believed, but ive already been left in the dark once. Not a fan of it.

              I’m not a fan, either. And, the thing is, we’ve seen similar companies pop up out of nowhere that claim to be private, but are just honeypots. The fbi did one once, and there is nothing stopping them from doing it again.
