We are no longer on the Google Play Store.
We decided remove our app rather than comply with their overly zealous bullshit KYC requirements that dox dev data, including address. ๐
But Nostriches don't care because we got nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 โ

Good call, fuck them, fuck KYC.
Integrity is so rare nowadays , thank you I love it.
This is the way! I wish all developers have this mindset of non-compliance.

con toni sferzanti, BTC Map annuncia di lasciare il Google play store:
"Non siamo piรน sul Google Play Store.
Abbiamo deciso di rimuovere la nostra app piuttosto che sottostare alle loro stronzate di requisiti KYC fin troppo zelanti, che sputtanano i dati degli sviluppatori, indirizzo compreso. ๐
Ma ai Nostriches non gliene frega niente perchรฉ tanto noi abbiamo Zapstore โ"

Yes! Some #fuckYouMoney attitude!

Support! ๐ช๐ฟ
So best thing is to point people to the website?
Yep, all our apps are linked from there.
F droid good as well
wiki.btcmap.org is down, and the current app version has still links to it. https://nostr.download/2d26c01665ec24ba3f6f670573d8a8bbfd91ace3cfa8e5c3f393840017db03d7.webp
Yes, we're migrating to self-hosted as GitHub rugged us (that's another story!)
Here now:
Great move โก๏ธ

They're in nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0.
But they do not sign the release themselves.

Proably for the best. ๐ค
So incredibly based. Love you guys
Ohhh goosebumps. You doing it right.
This is the way. Every Bitcoin/Nostr dev should follow this path.
Personally, I love this, but I worry that non-nerds will now never discover the joys of BTC Map, considering Google Play is the central place for most Andrioid users to find apps. I have similar concerns for Amber which also never made it to Google Play due to Google's invasive bullshit.
KYC is evil. Tough call.
Good!
Sidenote: I would update and remove the locations in Boracay. None here accept bitcoin anymore.
Absolutely none?
There was a clean-up dinner months ago.
We need one front publisher for all the good apps. I'm in the same position. Would pay a fee for someone trustworthy to publish my app.
To the Google Play Store?
I will not give up on the people who didn't discover bitcoin or nostr yet. Evacuating the battle field now is premature.

That's fair
Awesome! ๐๐พ๐ค๐พ๐โก๏ธ
It's a catch 22. I'm in the same boat. In fact they forced closed my accounts and I'm still arguing with support.
The thing is the average person will go to the play Store as their trusted, vetted source. They trust Google. And when you deliver your APK in any other way, Android will throw up at 'install from unknown sources' warning which is an insane barrier to get people to use your application.
I honestly don't see anyway around this.

Excellent news!!
Orangepilling goes hand in hand with teaching how to autonomize from all the GAFAM spy infrastructure โบ.
Damn... its good to see you guys on this side of the road. I tought btc map was just a random app i found on f droid. I guess not
