I just got access to Proton Wallet earlier today. Is there anything you’d like to know?
Q&A
- I’m on a family plan and have been a paying customer for about 2/3 years.
- I haven’t bought any Bitcoin yet but will report back on that once I have.

Signed up for decent encrypted email and now I feel like Proton's only goal is to shove so much extra shit down my throat that they'll choke me to death- and apparently I'm the only subscriber completely uninterested in any of it.
Do you ever use the VPN?
Already have a different provider, so no.
That's fair. It has worked very well for me. Pass has been good too. I would probably use Calendar if they put more work into it, but it's still missing quite a few features. Like others have mentioned, Wallet is a bit of a head-scratcher, but if it could compete with Apple/Google Wallet, I would try it out for sure.
To be fair, why not just drop the other provider and use Proton? Should be cheaper that way. I also didn't ask for any of this, and use email almost exclusively, but the VPN has come in handy a few times.
