Wallet of Satoshi

What if Square merchants could receive BTC via Lightning with their WoS PoS, and it instantly appeared as a Square payment? It would greatly simplify bookkeeping & sales tax tracking.
We've got it working! 🥳
Will be looking for some brave Square merchant testers soon...🚀

Despite what you may think about Coinbase, turning millions of their users on to Lightning is a positive move! ⚡️
Do you agree?

👋🏻 Hey!
Some of our iOS TestFlight users have noticed their test versions recently expired.
Not to worry - Last year we just had to move Apple Developer Accounts. The migration process was not great (isn't this the biggest company in the world?) so all TestFlight users get dropped.
Feel free to join the new TestFlight using this link https://testflight.apple.com/join/X3cCtNe1 if you enjoy being on the bleeding edge.
Latest version uses a better Scanning Engine under the hood so we'd love to know if it helps anyone have more consistent QR reads. 🧡

2024-01-17 06:38:35

Some stats since silently launching our simple referral program just a couple of months ago...
🎉3,174 rewards paid so far, a total of 3,283,942 sats.
⚡️1,035 sats average reward size.
🧡Average 'Orange Pill' send amount was 62,000 sats.
#Bitcoiners are generous!
Introduce someone to WoS and send them their first sat – it's that simple! Your rewards grow as they do! 🌱💰

After 3 long months of negotiating with stubborn iOS App Store reviewers, WoS v2.3.7 is now LIVE on iOS App Stores!
Finally, iOS users will also see the new branding and a host of other features and bug fixes. 🥳🥂
Side note: It does feel like something has noticeably changed at Apple when it comes to Bitcoin-related Apps.
Every update for the last 6+ months has undergone excessive, and often uninformed, scrutiny.
I wonder if our peers have also noticed this?

It's the simplest Bitcoin Point of Sale app in the World - new features will be coming soon™️ based on user feedback. 🙏
Check out this video👇to see how it works!

We keep building! Some features in the works...
👉Make receive page even simpler; combine LNURL & Lightning invoice to the same⚡️tab, removing a needless user decision.
👉It seems #satvertising is catching on; trying a simple filter for small historical payments.
Thoughts? 🙏

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 🧡

No, we don't make anything out of this.
If an advertiser can find your lightning address - they can send you money! Just like anyone else.

2023-11-16 05:54:52

Many have noticed a sharp increase in paid Lightning spam lately.
Opinion is divided - some love the free sats, some hate the constant notifications and spammy messages. In any case it's an interesting development in the ecosystem! ⚡️
We have just implemented a change on our server to detect payments that are likely spam. You'll still get the sats and can look at the messages in your payment history if you want, but this should help minimise unwanted system notifications starting now! 🙏

2023-11-16 05:09:46

Yes that seems like a good idea, it's coming. Apple dramatically slows down the speed of app changes we can push though unfortunately, sorry to Android users

2023-11-16 05:06:07

- reply

We're doing a couple of things - but hiding messages below 100 sats might be a little overkill... we don't want to prevent any valid use-cases.
We've just rolled out a change though so that at least you won't get system notifications for payments that are low value and likely advertising - that seems to be the biggest annoyance at the moment.

Nothing to fear - just moving to a different Apple Developer Account, Apple review process is being anal. The moving process is not great (isn't this the biggest company in the world?) so all TestFlight users get dropped.

We have thoroughly investigated the claim and can confirm that our email database has not been compromised.
For those who are concerned, we recommend checking your email addresses on 'Have I Been Pwned'—if you trust that platform.
As Bitcoiners, our system is intentionally designed to collect minimal personal information. Providing an email is optional and is primarily used for account backup or to obtain a custom lightning address.
We always prioritize the security and privacy of our users and continuously monitor our systems to guard against any potential threats.

2023-09-14 09:23:03

- reply

Yes - your old generated address will continue to work!
The only time you'll lose a lightning address is if you give up a 'custom' address to get a different 'custom' address.

2023-09-14 09:21:02

- reply

That must be an on-chain Bitcoin transaction. Wallet of Satoshi supports both Lightning and On-Chain.

2023-09-14 06:28:10

We'll generate you a new on-chain BTC address each time you use it - but all old addresses will continue to work!

We've decided to reduce the requirements for claiming a custom WoS Lightning Address! 🥳
✅ Lightning Transactions: 50 -> 10
✅ BTC On-chain Volume: 0.01 -> 0.001
This should open the opportunity up for thousands more to claim their _______@walletofsatoshi.com instantly! Tap Receive -> Customize in your WoS App to try it.
For context, currently around 1% of our monthly active users have claimed a custom address, so it is an elite group!🏅

It looks like that's the max size we allow at the moment. Should it be bigger?

2023-09-13 04:18:54

2. Unsolicited commercial advertising over lightning
It seems inevitable that lightning addresses will be scraped and compiled and used to send unsolicited messages (with a payment attached).
What are your thoughts about this? How should it be managed? What are the benefits/downsides?

Creating an account on a website is a lot easier than installing and learning to use software, and a more familiar way of doing it for most people. The only disadvantage is that you have to trust the site, but that's fine for pocket change amounts for micropayments and misc expenses. It's an easy way to get started and if you get larger amounts then you can upgrade to the actual bitcoin software.

2023-07-16 01:43:29

It's important not to forget who our real enemy is here:
Central banking!
Central banking and the fiat money it creates are one of the most insidious, destructive and negative forces in the world.
Monetary self-sovereignty with bitcoin is awesome! We love the whole range of lightning wallets that are being developed, and the amazing cold storage systems we have now. We use them ourselves. But custodians will *always* be necessary and are useful for many - especially for small payments.
The fact that Bitcoin (and the Lightning Network) allows both self-sovereign users, businesses and custodial providers to interact directly on the same hard monetary protocol is an amazing thing: true financial freedom.

LNURL is a coordination protocol that runs on the web - it's not built in to the Lightning Network.
That means it requires some additional web infrastructure on top of the lightning node infrastructure to coordinate the requesting of invoices between servers.
It's not ideal, but it works pretty well in practice - it just means there is some extra stuff to run. A non-custodial wallet could probably do it, but there would be some trust involved (whoever is running the web server).

Hi Merrcurr!
Sorry, we don't have our actual support team on nostr, it's just a few guys who check in when we can and see what's happening.
Best way to contact us is always by email at support@walletofsatoshi.com - we've got a great full responsive support team there, have always tried to have the best support in the business.
We've recently migrated to "bc1" style addresses, which is a new set of wallets and bitcoin nodes and I suspect some of the slowness is related to getting that tuned correctly - it seems like a few transactions have been missed recently. Will raise it with the devs.
Definitely not ignoring you though!

Sorry we missed your message @npub1du8…u524 . Sorry also for the delay and glad it got sorted out in the end.
An explanation FWIW….With the huge amount of on-chain deposits we process every day, a tiny percentage (way less than 1%) can sometimes have an issue automatically crediting for various reasons. Our helpful customer service team fixes them up as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
We have just made some technical tweaks to reduce the chance of this rare occurrence even further. ⚡️ 🙏🏻
