Thanks for asking Will. Orange Pill App (OPA) is a members-only social network for bitcoiners with a focus on IRL connections.

Ah so not the best fit for nostr ? Unless it was a private relay or something
We do run a private relay for our members. We use users' device approximate geolocation to connect them to nearby users and recently to Bitcoin-only events and, in the future to local merchants. We don't believe nostr and OPA are in a competition which is why we actively encourage our users to participate in the network, nor do we believe we serve the same audience. If you're keen to learn more here's a BTCESSION tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrQIyP45UNs&t=1s&ab_channel=BTCSessions
Great idea… an app to connect to and geolocate your users who are bitcoiners. No privacy concerns there 😬
yikes good point
Correct, the “OPA is a paywalled honeypot” theory has a heckuva lot going for it
You can be as anonymous as you like on OPA. We also understand that not everybody is interested in meeting other bitcoiners IRL
I love meeting other bitcoiners IRL. Just not through a paywalled, closed-sourced, geolocating, centralized app. 🤷♂️
Yes, this ☝️
Goodness. No one thought this was a bad idea? 🤦♂️
Since we don’t deliver pizza we use approximate geolocation which means you can be anywhere in a 10 miles radius.
Here’s a thought experiment to understand how meaningless even precise geolocation would be: if I told you the exact distance between you and me, how would you find me?
But how does a user know exactly what data you collect?
We don’t do ads, why would we collect any data beyond the core features of the app which will only increase our costs?
As Jack said and other Jack agrees with. Useless.

How do you get people on your site? Anyone can say they are bitcoiners
Anyone who pays to register
App for number go up LARPs
We have found that charging people to user our app is a great way to filter out the noise.
Well, that’s probably true on a level. It would have a filtering effect, for better or worse
Btw, something is a wrong with your lighting address
OPA is 100% signal... https://www.theorangepillapp.com/reviews
LN address should work now.
You’re on Nostr to drive people to the OP app and the great thing is there’s nothing any of us can do about it
That’s the beauty of Nostr ⚡️
I don’t subscribe but FYI it’s
100k sats for one year
300k sats for life
500k sats for Gigachad
So a CIA, NSA or IRS agent can pretend to be a bitcoiner, buy a life time membership and spy on you and every bitcoiner out there? #NGMI 😆
😂
