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.
I'm sure it's a great app. I'm just poking a bit.

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

for the record, everybody has to pay to use bitcoin

Nostr is great for finding plebs online.
OPA is great for finding plebs offline.
Completely different products

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.

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.

I looked at some reviews. I sill don't get what you offer.

best way to find out, is to signup and try for yourself
An organizer and a venue? How about i meet someone on nostr and I invite a new friend to my house. Im so confused.
reply
finding local bitcoiners on nostr is possible but very difficult.
we make that super-easy.
Regardless of how I meet someone online, if we intend to meet in physical reality, we need a space to sit and a way to communicate to organize. This can't be done on nostr?
Meetups?

I'm over products. Give me protocols.
