CRYPTO
Pssssst! Minds crypto has launched. While using Minds itself requires NO personal information, using the in-house crypto tokens requires your phone number. As Luculent explains, your phone number will not be stored. It will be converted to a unique hash, to identify your token stash and transactions. Jack Ottman has written Token 101: everything you need to know about Crypto tokens, and Wallet explaining what you put them in.
