The biggest barrier I've encountered with my #bitcoin orange pill side mission while on tour in Africa has been the lack of data available on their phones. The 2nd was the lack of Google use. I'm not sure what version of a "app store " they use here but I didn't recognise any of the wallets available to them enough to recommend it. Was hoping I could easily just get them to download nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq or Muun as its a great starting point.

Convincing people that the government and banks are not to be trusted was the easy bit.

Alas I continue

All open source wallets have APK download links on their website.

Yes I'm trying to get recommendations on the best one for rookies to use. Lightning available is a must as their transaction amounts will be small.

Something easy to use would be ideal as I don't want to sacre anyone off with am overly technical wallet

Phoenix is easy and can be downloaded from GitHub.

Ok ill download it and give it a try. 🍻

Damn what a shame there should be a way to send the WOS app in a text to be downloaded fuck the App Store…

Anita Posch is a Austrian bitcoin podcaster. She focuses very much on Afrika and has a series of podcast with real data about the adoption and problems with bitcoin for various Afrikan countries.

nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq can’t see .apk files on your GitHub or on F-Droid.

Can’t even find your GitHub.

Closed source and custodial?

Machankura is a great option for those in Africa with feature phones: https://8333.mobi/

WoS is in the Apple app store, the Google Play store or you can install from places like Aurora Store on F-Droid if any of those are available.
