Oddbean new post about login | logout Is @8333.mobi unavailable in Tanzania ?
To use on the feature phone yes. Tanzania blocked it.
Oh Fok :-( your concept of excel sheet is simple but efficient. how do regular people usually get Sats ? In the case of that guard man, for ex ?
Firstly, those in that society group don’t know about bitcoin. The ways people buy them is on Binance or YelllowCard. The example of the guard I’d create a P2P option where he could buy from me. Send to me via mobile money then I can send him sats. But issue is he doesn’t have a smart phone. That’s where the excel community bank idea comes in. But now thinking of using POWA as an internet cafe and helping them set up an Alby or mutiny.
I see, there are lots challenges at the ground level (no smartphones, internet). It amazes me that Machankura and Azteco aren’t available, but Binance is. It usually is the case that the people who need Bitcoin the most are the ones being “deprived” from it. In that case ignorance is not a bliss. Great idea with making Powa an internet hub/café.
Yea thanks. I think it can be the start as it is going against the grain of the culture too. And also the belief that group can’t access it once they know about it. First step is teaching and second is creating access to it freely. POWA is designed to be a bridge
Looking forward to the development of it ! Let us know if there is anything we could do to help.
