 #asknostr

Is Phoenix still serving the US?  I had uninstalled it after hearing they left the US, but out of curiosity installed again today, and it seems to function fine.  Maybe i missed something? 
 I don't know about that, but I'm still #zapping with #wos even though everyone said they'd be gone.  
 just #zapd , still works :) 
 I'm still using WoS. 

Who cares if it works?  
 Oh I thought WoS was region locked? I had a friend that had it on his iPhone and it stopped working. He could not receive. 
 The joys on not worrying about that with a deggogled phone and a decent enough VPN. 

I still get updates on the play store via aurora store. 

🤷‍♂️😎😁 
 Right, but the advantage of WOS was it was normie friendly.

Most people won't use a VPN. They also hate people that do. 
 I'm am very annoying to normies, it's true. 😂 
 You're one of us. 🤣 
 An annoying liberty-minded pedant? 

Yes. 😎 
 I host wallets for nostr at lnbits.poster.place

US-based and no VPN needed =_ 
 I'm using express VPN and wos here in the US. alby too, but like wos better. 

my 2 #zaps worth.

 Derek, need vpn in order to create a receive invoice. Other than that, can receive zaps and send as usual. 
 I haven't seen any news that they've returned? I don't see it on Google Play, but I know you install it from unofficial sources as it doesn't do a region check. 
 I just went to their site, clicked on download for google, and downloaded thru Aurora store, since i use Graphene os. 
 Good to know. I haven't used GrapheneOS in several years. Thanks! 
 Well shoot, guess i'm back on phoenix then.  My favorite wallet. 
 Noice! 🔥🔥🔥 I tested it a while back when version 2.0 I believe? launched. It was a nice experience.  
 Seems dangerous to download open source software through Aurora - especially a bitcoin wallet. Better grab APK from github, or use Obtainium or zap.store  
 Phoenix is great they just made a pussy move thats all 
 Maybe the came back on the dl 🤔 
 You can use the apk on Android(on github). They took it off the Play Store ans App store. 
 protip: install with  @Zapstore for easy updates 
 I noticed it was on zap store yesterday. That's so cool. 
 Been wondering the same.
