    Being in the main repo has some major benefits from the users perspective.

    1. I know it’s actually FOSS

    2. I know no extra binaries or libraries “accidentally” leak in

    3. I know effort has gone into reproducable builds, and if I ever need to fork the project the build chain works externally.

    4. No special signing key gymnastics baked in

    Net net being in the main repository is a huge endorsement to the open source health of a project

      True and I believe it helps discovery of the app. When searching Monero on the official repo you get nothing so cake wallet would be the first. Its also a convenience for the users who do not want to go around and adding repos for seperate projects.

      Anyhow them being on F-Droid repo was my encourager to try the app out. Very glad for this update.
