To my understanding, Signal requires that you have a physical phone to use the desktop version. Is there any way to scan the QR code without a physical device? I'm trying to make an anonymous Signal account.

My idea:

1.) Set up Android VM on Linux laptop

2.) Use laptop camera to scan the QR code on my desktop

I think Signal is still better that Whatsapp. But it is not the magic app that Signalbroa hype.

    haven't tried either because of my paranoia (lol) and never heard of signalroa, thanks for making me aware.
