To our valued Wallet of Satoshi community in the United States of America,
We've dedicated ourselves to providing the best Bitcoin experience with Wallet of Satoshi, being at the forefront of Lightning usability and adoption. However, we've made the difficult decision to remove our app from the U.S. Apple and Google app stores, and will not serve U.S. customers going forward.
This decision doesn't come lightly. Our commitment to providing a secure, user-friendly, and compliant platform globally is unwavering. Our top priority is the safety and interests of our customers and our company.
We understand this may be disappointing news and we share your frustration. We're hopeful that future developments will allow us to revisit and possibly resume our operations in the U.S.
For our existing users in the USA, rest assured that you have full access to your Bitcoin funds. You can seamlessly withdraw and transfer them to another wallet.
We deeply appreciate your support and understanding. We remain committed to bringing the benefits of Bitcoin to as many as possible.
Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being a part of our community.
Peace, Love and Bitcoin,
The Wallet of Satoshi Team π§‘

Does anyone else notice this is a non-explanation?
Now that we know the truth, I'm less than optimistic than I was yesterday when I played the disappearance down. Voluntarily removing their app from the US app stores is one thing, but doing it on Thanksgiving Day when most American's will be busy and wouldn't notice is another. Any other day could have been chosen.
I wish you the best of luck, WoS, I truly do, but this was a less than optimal plan that was executed badly. If your plans change I'm the future and you come back to US markets or you implement a web version, it will be hard to trust you again.
Sorry Nostriches. I was wrong.

Holy shit, it wasn't even regulatory! While still not truly a rug pull, this is a piss poor decision based solely on cowardice.

Why not build a PWA?
And pulled it on one of the biggest national holidays in the nation you're pulling it from? That's politician shit and has nothing to do with peace love or bitcoin.
And again, much like politicians, you don't actually tell us WHY.
I moved my Satoshiβs to Mutiny Wallet but fees are huge.
We have to create a channel to be able to zap in and out. But a good experienced!
Sad to hear you are departing βthe land of the free.β We have much work and bureaucratic firings that need to happen here. Much love.
Seriously...

Just as we got done orange pilling our relatives at Thanksgiving π©
If you keep wanting to be compliant, you aren't going to be on the same side as Bitcoin
please tell us the legal reasons why... Call out the US authorities that don't want their people to have access to free market commodities like Bitcoin.
Maybe the US users can try Phoenix wallet instead?
Ofc.
Yo you guys should reach out to me. I might be able to help you in this matter. cosmichodl@protonmail.com
This seems strange timing.

Phenomenal service. Please consider making WoS Open Source, providing a non-custodial option, direct downloads of the APK and sideloading for iOS.
Why
Because the US government
How
Has anything on this changed? My app just updated from Google Play.
There's this technology called a VPN
If your ability to use a wallet depends on what country you're in, you're doing it wrong.
