Why doesn't it work if you are a Filipino? The app is available worldwide.
Or is it because of language barriers? We are planning to translate the app into more languages, but we just haven't found time for it yet. It's on our todo list 🛠
We are going to develop a "business side platform" which makes it super easy to add "Login with Get In" to their service.
The motivation for a non bitcoin business to add it could be to attract more users with a smoother login and registration process. And it could also attract bitcoiners to their service which also leads to new users.
What do you think could make businesses interested in adding this login option?
Thanks for the feedback!
If we come to that future maybe some people will still value an open source solution. Even if not, it would still have been worth it just to have onboarded users to bitcoin and lightning!⚡️
You are right, there are several wallets which can do lnurl-auth and more. If you are already using them then this app is quite useless for you, unless you want to separate payment and authentication.
Our thesis is that some users are skeptical about paying with bitcoin, but might be very interested in authentication without passwords. By spreading the use of lnurl-auth we might be able to win over many skeptics when they experience the technology first hand.
It's non custodial.
The private key is only saved on the device, and with the new update which we pushed today, users are able to import their mnemonic from another wallet, allowing you to sign in to the same account from multiple devices and wallets.
We just pushed an update where users can import their mnemonic to the app. You are able to have the same mnemonic on Get In as in your current lightning wallet at the same time, so you can log into the same account from several devices.
Exactly our thought! Some users might be sceptical about payments with bitcoin, especially in the beginning, but they might still be interested in authentication. This could be a "gateway drug" to the ecosystem for sceptics.
That's good suggestions. Thanks for the feedback!
I've been working on an lnurl-auth only mobile app, as part of the Legends of Lightning tournament.
Today I got the app published on Appstore and Google Play.
