π₯ looking for testers β big bitchat android update 1.6.0-rc1
BACKGROUND PERSISTENCE: this update introduces background services! that means, bitchat can run in the background and support the mesh, even if you leave the app.
TOR: we're now also compiling the arti tor library ourselves, which improves reproducibility and reduces the apk size from 150 to 10 mb (lol).
this is a pre-release for testers. would love to get some feedback. does it work on your phone? please report bugs (including phone brand and OS version) in this thread!

What if you could pay with Bitcoin β but anywhere? PlebQR is the killer Bitcoin app in Thailand.
An incredible alignment of different interests: one pleb wants to buy something in a store with Bitcoin, another pleb wants to stack sats. PlebQR is a pleb-to-pleb Bitcoin exchange that's basically unstoppable. The platform connects product buyers with Bitcoin stackers.
Here's how it works: you (the Bitcoiner buying a product) scan the ubiquitous Thai fiat QR payment code and upload it to the PlebQR platform. You then pay a Lightning invoice, wait 1-2 minutes for a match, and some pleb out there looking to buy BTC pays your fiat QR and receives your Bitcoin. Everybody happy.
I just bought a pair of sandals and a shirt and some guy got to stack my non-KYC sats at a pretty good rate.
I love Bitcoin when it shines like this. Bitcoin is the money of the future and we don't need the old world's permission to make it work. Big respect to the Thai Bitcoiner community.
I love @Bugle.News #40HPWπ§
stablecoins are .1% "training wheels for users to eventually buy bitcoin" and 99.9% a USD foreign policy and fiat dominance super weapon for US crypto colonialism.

"I didn't have a way to spend my bitcoin so we've built <african bitcoin off-ramp>."
"We want to build <us/european bitcoin off-ramp> but before we launch we first need to pay 10 lawyers to give us 20 reasons why we can't do it, hire a compliance team to implement AML rules, talk to the regulators, jump through 1000 loops to become a VASP, implement MICA, and KYC everyone who spends 10 bucks in a supermarket, so I can exit as a founder and sell the company to Coinbase."
Who would win?
Africa is hope for Bitcoin.
Windows and macOS are getting consistently worse over time while iOS and Android are both becoming incredibly polished experiences and getting safer every day.
