Well, Plati is now live!

🥁🥁🥁 https://plati.app

Some info:

🕐 2+ months of work. Basic intended functionality works. Maybe not all edge cases.

🇷🇺 It currently supports only SBP (the Russian Fast Payments System).

🕺 Two types of users: Customer and Payer.

💁‍♂️ 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.

🙋‍♂️ Payer is anyone with a Russian bank account willing to pick up orders from the order book.

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

👌 Zero users because nobody outside Nostr knows about it. 🤣

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

Onwards! 🚀

If you think about it, you can live 100% off of bitcoin in Russia now.

I must admit, though, that most Russians are about “crypto” and making money. Nothing ideological when it comes to bitcoin.

But I’m sure a certain amount of quiet Russian bitcoiners is growing, and they’d be happy to use Plati.

Not to mention tourists who don’t need Visa, Mastercard, FX or cash exchangers anymore. From the airport straight to any store, and it just works! That’s my vision.

We go from “please accept my bitcoin” to “I’ll pay with bitcoin at your location, period.”
