PSA re: Telegram, NFTs, boosts requested 

Telegram has now implemented a way to create an account by using a fucking NFT instead of a real phone number.

This is official. This is not some cryptobro-made UI Mockup.

And this comes hot off the heels of a cryptobro-made UI Mockup for NFT profile pics getting mass-downvoted.

Telegram blog announcing the update: telegram.org/blog/ultimate-pri

The NFT site itself (geofenced, US IP addresses won't work, but confirmed with VPN): fragment.com/numbers

@foxposting when it updated and said "no-sim signup" we thought "cool, the requirement for a phone number is one of the things we hated about the platform" but this is worse

@Felthry Yup. I am disappointed/impressed (depressed?) that they came up with something worse than requiring a phone number.

The phone number requirement, while something I could work around with some effort, has been a stalling point for me for years.
