It's a non-custodial wallet. Per recent FinCEN guidance, non-custodial wallets are not regulated as money transmitters.

The SEC & state authorities have limited prosecutorial resources -- my guess is they'll exercise prosecutorial discretion to only go after fraudulent schemes
Stellar is not centralized. Anyone can spin up a node. Any node can be a validator node.
You may be confusing Stellar's technology with Ripple's -- Ripple is definitely centralized.
Hi lutusp,

Thanks for the comments everyone. Given the low cost of storage, today the default assumption is that email and anything you post online is permanent. The grand vision of Pluto is to grant people more control over their online footprint, starting with email. We realize Pluto is not a complete solution to “email privacy.” However, Pluto is an improvement over how email works by default.
David and I hate the fact that, as soon as we hit send, we lose control of who can access the content and for how long the content can be accessed. We know that Pluto may not make sense for all emails but we believe there is a large set of emails for which it does. We also know there is a niche of users (like ourselves) who want most of our emails to expire.
If you all have any more questions, please email me @ lindsay@plutohq.com. Thanks :)

Thanks for voicing your concern. Several applications out there (e.g. Mailtracker, Streak, etc.) provide tracking capabilities that include details on the recipient’s location, device, and number of opens. We at Pluto decided to only track the time that the email was first opened because we calculate some expiration times based on when the message was opened (e.g. email expires 1 hour after open). If we did not display this information, the user could always calculate it anyway from the email’s time of expiration.
David and I are both concerned about privacy, however, so we may implement an option to obscure tracking details in the future.

We support unsend at anytime. We technically could also support edit at anytime, even after open, but we do not because we believe editing after open serves no legitimate purpose - just manipulation. It doesn’t even seem fun to us. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it is a bit wordy -- we will look into redesigning the landing page.
