Do you have any thoughts on greater nostr integration?
Any planned features/development for meetup organizers?
reply
Nostr is open and public OPA is closed and private
hard to see how the 2 could work together, but we're open to ideas
reply
Outside the App, which approaches do you see best performing to orange pill people?
reply
What's the long-term vision for Orange Pill App, and how do you see it evolving in the coming years?
reply
Our mission is to help create as many IRL connections amongst Bitcoiners as possible and to facilitate the Bitcoin parallel economy, at scale.
The core products (Networking, Events, and Merchants) have now been built, so going forward it's all about making them better and better.
However, spoiler alert, we're about to give everybody a LNURL ⚡️
reply
Great! Please add a quick zapping feature directly to a post/reply just like here in S/N or in NOSTR.
reply
That's a really good idea
reply
Can we use this as a dating app? 😀
reply
If you're single & good looking, every app is a dating app! 😉

I've met @amaluenda. He and I should both stick to bitcoin friends.

Actually, @amaluenda is the reason I tried Orange Pill app. I think he should get some kind of free subscription or something, right? He's a hell of a salesman.

And Orange Pill app was the reason I've met IRL a Bitcoiner from the same town where I live and we both went to PubKey NYC and met @siggy47.
reply
That's what it's all about
reply
Have you checked our referral program? We pay 10k sats for each signups, no limits, so technically you can make more than your subscription 😉

That's good. I remember talking to you a while back about that ridiculous Orange Group thing. Is that over now?
reply
Yes, it was a miracle that we got back on the Google Play Store.

Have you considered your can help local villains to find their casualties?
reply
Yes, we have considered this at length, which is why we don't let anybody in the app without paying and so far the paywall has kept all the villains away.
Also, we don't verify anything so members can be as anonymous as they like and only reveal their identities to other members as they see fit.

How to do you manage the GPS Data? Is that app open source?
reply
We're not open source. The device's approximate geolocation is pulled once per app session.
reply
Cool. Bitcoin makes everything better
Even here, you should pay to say something. This what got rid of spam
reply
Exactly, the idea of charging everybody to join OPA came from thinking about proof of work.
reply
Thank you for your work! What is the advantage of your app over the competition?
reply
Thanks for the question!
As far as I know, no other product 1) aggressively filters for Bitcoiners (via the paywall) and 2) allows them to find nearby members, events, and merchants.
In short, Orange Pill App solves the problem of local discovery & coordination amongst high-signal bitcoiners.

What's been the best marketing channel for you guys?
reply
Mostly Twitter and word of mouth, especially in the early days. Nowadays we see a big spike in signups every time me or Brian go on a Bitcoin podcast.
I also think our lovely advisors - https://www.orangepillapp.com/about-us - have been crucial to our growth.

What's your long term aim with your app?

Are you going to release an Orange Pill kit with instruction so we can focus on orange pilling? (for single geek that a good way to meet girls)

reply
Do you use the app yourself? What has been your experience like?
reply
I've created this app.. 😉
reply
Why do we need a pay to participate, orange pill app when we have nostr and stacker news?
reply
As the saying goes: "if something is free you are the product". Building, maintaining, and promoting an app is very expensive. By asking everybody to pay to use the app we eliminate the noise (bots, scams, spammers, shipcoiners, fake account, etc...) and we will never have to track or sell your data to the highest bidder. This way, we can remain independent and prioritize our members first.
reply
I'm sure it's a great app. I'm just poking a bit.
reply
I guess nostr and bictoin are exceptions to that rule. Not sure why I need something like that, when we have other tools that are free to use without making the users the product. Good luck
reply
for the record, everybody has to pay to use bitcoin
reply
Nostr is great for finding plebs online. OPA is great for finding plebs offline.
Completely different products
reply
You can find people on nostr and meetup in person btw. I have done it. Opa is an app that is online.
reply
meetups are great but are not scalable.
reply
I don't get it. Isn't the orange pill app so you can meet people online to meet in person. Isn't that a meetup?
reply
meetups require an organizer and a venue. with OPA you can meet other bitcoiners as you see fit.
take a look here to get an idea: https://www.orangepillapp.com/reviews
Meetups?
reply
I'm over products. Give me protocols.
