is there even an apk available for it? don't see one on their website

reply

Which part you do not understand from "closed source" ? You cannot install WoS WITHOUT a play store. That means is full of trackers from google and apple

When people will wake the fuck up and install only open source software?

reply

This is why I’m on SN, you guys do such a great job digging into the specs and saving the rest of us! Thanks a ton of sats!

reply

An app doesn't need to be open source to have the apk available somewhere. The more unsolvable issue is it being custodial.

Not only that is closed source, but IT IS REQUIRED to have installed google service in order to be able to use that shit app. In the guide about wallets I specified for which app is required or not. So user will know what to download.

I see people using de-googled Graphene or Calyx and then go to install Aurora to be able to install WoS. LOL So you go back to google shit services just for downloading a tracking app.

Why do you bother to de-google your phone if go back to the same shit?

Weird thing for US companies to do on a holiday.

reply

Tin foil hat time, they knew the holiday would be a big orange pill opportunity and disappeared one of the biggest onboarding tools

reply

My tin foil hat theory is better. WoS removed itself from the stores on purpose because they are rugpulling.

reply

Definitely could be! No communication from them is sus

reply

No one even knows who runs WoS. It's always been a rugpull time bomb. How anyone can be surprised truly blows my mind.

reply

It's a Bitcoin and Shitcoin payments company from Australia.

Rant wen?

reply

That’s true. There’s always been some weirdness to it. Can’t verify closed source!

reply

Wow! Good one

Almost could make you believe in conspiracy theories.

I wonder if any other rugpulls are occuring right now.

reply

Simplicity from WOS comes at a price. Breez or Phoenix Wallet is just as easy. Ideally, use Blixt.

reply

Any reason why Phoenix/Breez/Blixt won't be forced out of app stores?

reply

This

Electrum too

WoS still in the Japanese Play store

reply

That's because (stupid) americans can't read in japanese 😂😂😂😂

Joking aside AI tools making it scary easy for savvy tourists to come here and get around with minimal problems language wise. World's about to get a whole lot smaller.

Lol oh no how will people post videos of them "using lightning" to buy a coffee? Baristas around the world are going to be shutting down

reply

Was an inevitable rug. Run your own node or get used to this sort of thing. If I were a betting girl, I would say that they removed their app from the app stores on purpose because they are going to shut down and get away with everyone's money. Hook, line, and sinker.

reply

Is Phoenix still on the play store? I think it used to be before I went Graphene

Yeah, I know. I'm just wondering how far the removal will go.

reply

Looks like it's a USA only thing. In my estimation it's probably related to the sats adverts. Spam complaints maybe?

reply

Okay. Here's what I found on the company.

Google Maps Australian Business Register Australian Financial Services Register Google Play Page (it loads for me) Apple App Store Page (not currently loading for me)

I have the app installed on my phone with about 1000 sats (50 cents). I'll let you know if it gets rugged.

To be fair, the company was registered in 2018 so if it's a rug they're playing the long game. Although one suspicious thing is it looks like they're up for review next week (on 30 Nov 2023) by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission. So if they're in hot water that could be an explanation?

Sad, but expected.

reply

It WoS a pleasure lol

reply

Maybe the next step could be that Android phones with Google on it, will block apks with a certain app name from installing.

reply

This is wild to see always was in back of mind about being a rug pull to see it happen in real time is nuts !!!

They better be careful DOJ is coming for everyone now

reply

🥱 it is rugging season

🤷‍♂️ people gotta start somewhere

reply

Newbies who have no idea what they are doing, sure.

Actualy Bitcoiners, no. People who use a closed-source Bitcoin Wallet from a Big Tech app store are not Bitcoiners. I refuse to call them that.

reply

Ok, fair enough

reply

For many newbies, WoS will be the end of their Bitcoin journey.

There's no realistic alternative for iPhone. And Android could easily become as locked down too.
