Well, Plati is now live!

πŸ₯πŸ₯πŸ₯ https://plati.app

Some info:

πŸ• 2+ months of work. Basic intended functionality works. Maybe not all edge cases.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί It currently supports only SBP (the Russian Fast Payments System).

πŸ•Ί Two types of users: Customer and Payer.

πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ Customer is anyone who wants to pay a Russian merchant with bitcoin. Top up your bitcoin balance, scan the merchant’s QR-code, and your order will go to the order book.

πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ Payer is anyone with a Russian bank account willing to pick up orders from the order book.

βœ… A completed order means that the invoice is paid (Customer happy), and Payer receives invoice amount + commission to his bitcoin balance (also happy).

πŸ‘Œ Zero users because nobody outside Nostr knows about it. 🀣

I will now do more basic testing and start planning marketing campaigns.

Onwards! πŸš€

congrats! Will you open source the code?

Either way, nice work! ✊✊

This particular service is centralized, focused on UX. If successful, I plan to develop an open-source fully p2p version of it in parallel.

Think proprietary mass service with sleek UX vs decentralized uncensored service (but, as usually goes with such services, slightly worse UX-wise). There are markets for both.
