Sorry for my delay in seeing this!

Vexl is different because of the reputation model.

You’re not meeting strangers, you’re meeting friends and friends of friends, when I see an offer on Vexl I see how many friends i have in common with the person making the offer.

That is the reputation. If I have 25 friends in common, well I can be certain that that trade is going to go well as we have just so many mutual friends.

If I have 3-4 friends in common, well I would approach it differently if I was making a larger bitcoin buy/sell.

I would say something like “hey I see we both have Bob as a friend, I know Bob well he’s one of my friends from university before I meet you can we both shoot Bob a message and if he says that you’re cool to trade with then let’s do this damn thing”

So even I don’t need to know your name, just if Bob says yes I’m ok to meet.

When you trade based on real world reputation you lower the risk, because if you screw me over well I’m certainly gonna let Bob know that, which damages your reputation.

Vexl is in Nigeria! We have a growing user base there!

Hi! We would love to add Nostr support, but here’s the thing we are a small team of 5 people and a dog.

The reputation model is what makes vexl so different and works.

We encourage people to meet face to face and deal with cash as it’s the only way to leave no digital trace. Of course it’s possible to send bank transfers but that’s KYC lite and I don’t want my name in anyone’s bank account.

So that’s why normies as you call them are perfect, they live in your neighborhoods, cities and towns, they are your friends, family, and friends of friends.

It’s hard to meet your Nostr friends on a Tuesday afternoon when I live in Czech Republic and your live somewhere else.

We certainly want to add Nostr but right now we gotta build the best app that makes it easy to buy bitcoin, eggs, honey, etc. This is why local communities are so important.

Run like 5 days a week

Go read a lodging of wayfaring men by Paul Rosenberg instead

Apple currently calls us reckless and inappropriate. We are on TestFlight while we appeal and work to get vexl available on iOS App Store.

Thanks Derek! I am so glad we got to meet! Can’t wait for next year!

Hey! That was me! And yes but it takes word of mouth. You gotta tell people! We are a non-profit so it’s really grassroots!

You can grab it through aurora currently. Currently APK is not viable as we are pushing lots of updates, but we will. We hope soon.

This is why we built Vexl

Have you been to Paris or France in general, I always felt it’s worse there.

Is it too late to say GM

Looking forward to this albeit a little nervous

I got my first Nostr spam today! What should I tell him?

Free him! It’s that simple. I don’t care what your politics are this is a chance to make a difference in one person’s life. He now has a chance. Ross deserves freedom. If Trump frees Ross day one then my vote matters and counts as I vote for Ross.

I got paddled in school in Mississippi. I preferred it over dentition or suspension. I been out of school nearly 20 years and they are still doing it.

I hope one day, it’s doesn’t take a license as we don’t touch Bitcoin or fiat. We are essentially just a chat app, but the USA has made it clear, they will do everything they can to deter any platform that provides privacy or the freedom to transact.

Pizza, hold the pineapple, keep the jalapeños. Sorry satoshi…

this is the way!

also sell your bees' honey on Vexl for no kyc bitcoin!
