 So happy to hear this! 🙏 
 Freedom Technologies, like #Fedimint and #Bitcoin, required a lot of effort to establish and design.

Today, Bitcoin Whitepaper Day, we say Thank You to everyone who had a hand in making sure future generations will have access to the most powerful tools for freedom ever invented.

Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day! https://image.nostr.build/4e467b691cfeb4d80cc2eb698d85dd8f38c8d2df9eda531c47160a348643adb5.jpg

 Thank you so much for your feedback on the app experience. It really helps us understand how we can improve and make things better for you. We’re aware that Freedom One is currently down, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope it’ll be back up soon so you can transact as usual. Just a quick note, Fedi (the app/company) is independent of Fedimint federations. Our goal is to provide the best interface to help communities interact with their federations. 
 Thanks Cody, Freedom One does seem to be back up & running. You can check out Fedimint Observer (https://observer.fedimint.org/) for information on existing public federations. We are also consistently working to add greater transparency within the app, with online/offline status indicators coming soon.

 Hey Bryan, start here: https://support.fedi.xyz/hc/en-us/sections/18214787528082-Federation-Setup

Reach out via the Support mod on the Mods page or at support.fedi.xyz with questions along the way.

Yes, a user of Mint A can send bitcoin to a user of Mint B via Lightning just the same way you would between any two Lightning-enabled wallets. 
 Thanks so much for sharing this honest feedback Bryan! Your points are valid and they are definitely not lost on us.

We believe the underlying technology is there and very powerful - but we understand it’s not yet simple and easy to use.

This creates an accessibility barrier that requires significant UX improvement to overcome so that Fedimint can scale.

We & others are working tirelessly on this in an effort to make the freedom protocols that Fedi is built on universally accessible. 
 This Thursday September 26, our Engineering Lead, Oscar Lafarga, will be holding a livestream to walk you through our open-source repo, followed by a half-hour Q&A.

Join us here at 12pm ET! https://image.nostr.build/8ac0be3c31e170af88e0e9aedee9e2e09fe68e53d4cc0f3744f38d23ead05cef.png  
 WE'RE HIRING! 🎉
We're on the lookout for amazing people to join our mission to empower communities everywhere with Fedimint.

 Glad we could help Ivan, thanks for bearing with us while we rolled out the fix! 
 25%—that’s the typical interest rate for microcredits in Togo. With a 1% rate, low fees, and community-based borrowing, the Kisaw project isn’t just achieving 90% repayment—it’s helping farmers truly thrive. 

Kisaw is pooling resources and using Bitcoin to purchase vital supplies like seeds and fertilizer directly from wholesalers. And because their funds are held in Stable Balance, volatility is minimized, ensuring they’re ready when they’re needed. 

This isn’t just a story about interest rates—it’s a story about how #bitcoin brings opportunity to people.

 Hey, 100% correct 🚀 - Fedi is currently source-available and we are committed to becoming fully open-source by January 3, 2026. Read our announcement for additional context: https://www.fedi.xyz/blog/on-may-the-fourth-fedi-went-open-source-here-s-why 
 Thanks for flagging! Our team has identified the root cause of the bug & will be pushing out a fix soon.

For now, know that your funds are safe. 

If you prefer not to wait for the update, you can uninstall & reinstall either version 1.18.4 or 1.18.5 and recover from seed to restore your balance. 
 Hey Chris, happy to report that APK version 1.19 is live!

You should uninstall your current version > install the latest version > recover from seed.

This should resolve the error message you shared, but please send us a DM if there are any issues. 
 Good to know, happy to help! 
 Hi Ivan - We are here to help 💪 - Please send us the logs here: https://support.fedi.xyz/hc/en-us/requests/new 
 We appreciate you flagging and sharing your logs with us.

We’ve identified the root cause of the bug & will be pushing out a fix soon.

 Sure will! 
 Hey, yes - Fedi is building an interface that empowers individuals & communities to engage with underlying freedom protocols like Fedimint & Nostr. Community federations are federated eCash mints. Anyone can create their own federation or use an existing public one. Right now, chat member ID's are based on npubs, and you can add Nostr clients as Fedi mods in the app. Greater interoperability with Nostr is on our roadmap. 
 Hey there 👋 - You can see public community federations available to join in the app by tapping the menu at the top left of the Community screen > Add community > View public communities.

Bitcoinmints and Awesome Fedimint are other resources that list publicly known Fedimint federations and Cashu mints: 
1. github.com/fedimint/awesome-fedimint
2. bitcoinmints.com/?tab=mints

Kindly note that Fedi does not endorse any of the mints listed on either the Awesome Fedimint list or on the Bitcoinmints site 

Lastly, we have a support article that may be helpful 🚀
