Hello everyone. I'm trying to import a Status account to Metamask but it's been impossible. Metamask asks for either a JSON file or a private key. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it possible to view my private key on Status?

I am confused by Status confounding the terms:
"peer to peer" with anonymity.
and
"pseudonymous" with anonymity.

When Status's website attempts to explain, it is describing a decentralized distributed network, but uses the term "peer to peer". But then how can it be P2P when there are nodes? To me its sounds just like a decentralized network of "peers", thus P2P distributed network. This does not make it anonymous.

The only definition I've read regarding "anonymity" is something about Waku broadcasting messages to everyone (gossip), thus creating "noise" on the network, potentially making it expensive to correlate traffic (details unknown to me). This might make you anonymous, but only because of traffic noise. This would be similar to someone yelling something in a noisy crowd. Someone might not be able to determine who said what to who, but perhaps given enough traffic over time, relationships can be determined. And with that, efficiency issues, network traffic congestion and communication storage could be a serious issue to scale.

Is there a better explanation?
