sure, we could monitor every single message, run censorship algos, and sell users data to pay the bills.
but I'm not interested in building a facebook for bitcoiners.

nah, we would get flooded with spammers & scammers.

the paywall is what makes OPA a special place, with no spammers, scammers, shipcoiners, ads etc etc

finding local bitcoiners on nostr is possible but very difficult.
we make that super-easy.

meetups require an organizer and a venue. with OPA you can meet other bitcoiners as you see fit.

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

Our mission is to help create as many IRL connections amongst Bitcoiners as possible and to facilitate the Bitcoin parallel economy, at scale.

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.

We're not open source. The device's approximate geolocation is pulled once per app session.

Exactly, the idea of charging everybody to join OPA came from thinking about proof of work.
