We don't have any issue with Nitrokey selling phones with GrapheneOS. They're one of several vendors providing users with a way to buy a phone shipping with GrapheneOS. Our web installer is very easy to use and even very non-technical users are able to use it with the help of our community. There are always many people in our Matrix room willing to provide lots of help to new users around the clock. Some people are still going to want to purchase a phone with it instead of needing to install it, and Nitrokey is a trustworthy vendor providing it. Our recommendation to most people is using the web installer and asking for help if they experience any issues. It's very easy to do from another Android phone, ChromeOS or macOS. It's a little bit more involved on Windows due to needing to install a special driver. The web installer works well for people with barely any technical knowledge. The main roadblock people experience is trying to use a non-spec-compliant USB-A to USB-C cable which is resolved by them getting a proper one or using the official USB-C to USB-C cable from another device like another Android phone.

joemazerino has been spreading misinformation about GrapheneOS including personal attacks and libel targeting our developers for years. You can see a bunch of it in their comment history among other gems like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26974901. They've been regularly promoting a proprietary fork of GrapheneOS which falsely pretends to be the original project. It's barely maintained with the last release in September and almost zero development since they forked our project in 2018. That product is pure grift and very openly scamming people. It's unfortunate that a product depending on our work has invested substantial effort into harming us but that's the reality for us. A small number of people got duped by that and it snowballed into further attacks on the project which are worse than ever thanks to the help of an certain faux 'privacy activist' charlatan on YouTube. joemazerino made sure to spread a 1 hour hit piece with a whole bunch of fabrications about myself and the GrapheneOS project from that person. We're used to this and it comes with the territory in an industry with more scammers than people doing useful work.

Your defense of your project is to attack my post history and comment history which is par for the course. Graphene has a crisis in PR and leadership of which falls squarely on your shoulders. Try not character attacking people who have valid criticisms of your project, maybe, and take ownership of how you respond.
