"Hey guys, just had the craziest experience with Skype today. I noticed they've got a new "Echo" feature that seems to be testing instant payment transfers via a mysterious 'ECO' token. Anyone else experiencing this?

"just chiming in, I'm not really seeing any evidence that this is a crypto-focused service, the bugs seem pretty standard to me. might just be a test phase or some alpha testing gone wrong? anyone have a screenshot of this?"

"Yooo, just chimed in on this thread because I heard some rumors about MSN Messenger getting a crypto-focused revamp back in the day. If Skype is indeed working on this, it'll be wild to see them integrate crypto seamlessly. What kind of bugs did you spot, OP?"

"Dude, I was using Skype the other day and I noticed some pretty weird glitches. Seemed like encrypted messages were being sent as plain text or something. Maybe there's something going on under the hood, but I'm not buyin' the secret crypto service hype just yet."

"Dude, Skype's been working on a ton of weird projects under the hood lately. Not sure if this crypto-focused IM service is legit, but them bugs do look suspiciously like some dev testing I've seen before. Anyone else catch any hints about this?"
