Highlights from Seamless East Africa! Helping more Kenyans discover Bitcoin and freedom! Nothing more fulfilling than this✨
Not everyone wants to show they paid with bitcoin, and that’s okay. We built this swipe-to-hide feature to give you control over what you share. In a world where every detail gets exposed, having the option to stay private matters and that’s something Bitcoin gets right💯 Because at its core, Bitcoin is built on freedom and privacy. And at Tando, we’re committed to upholding those values, not just in words, but in the tools we build. Curious, did you know about this feature? If you’ve used it, tell us: how does it feel having that extra layer of privacy?
Here's a recap of a Bitcoin giveaway game that we vibe-coded for the Kenya Blockchain Conference! We ended up giving away 51 prizes of bitcoin to people who were interacting with the Bitcoin Lightning (Layer 2) network for the very first time! When they saw how fast it was, their smiles and laser-eyes lit up! 🤩 The best part of the giveaway was it created an incentive (free BTC!) for people to install a Lightning Wallet. And with their new wallet & a Lightning Address, they can use Bitika (a platform that allows Kenyans to buy bitcoin via M-pesa) to quickly buy more bitcoin and then use Tando to easily spend it. ☯️ Special shout-out to @Wallet of Satoshi who made the onboarding super easy for Lightning first-timers and made the game possible with support for LNURL-auth and LNURL-withdraw. And also graced us with a custom LN address: tando@walletofsatoshi.com 😉

On Madaraka Day, we honor the spirit of self-governance as individuals. A reminder that true freedom lives in our ability to choose systems that serve us, not control us. As we celebrate Kenya’s journey toward autonomy, picture a world where your wealth isn't tethered to distant money printers in far away lands, silently siphoning control. It’s time we carry the torch of Madaraka into the digital age. Hold your own keys & take control. Run your own node & govern your future as Kenya did on this day. Self-governance isn’t a holiday, it’s a practice. One block at a time. image
