New version of Tando is now in app stores - version 1.1.9 - please upgrade at your earliest convenience! What's new? 🔶Payment Confirmation screen improvements including: 🔸Show date & time of transaction (s/o @kgothatso@8333.mobi for this request) 🔸Fix a time zone bug when copying payment info to clipboard. 🔸A new Orange-Pill graphic to better communicate to merchants that bitcoin was the method of payment (s/o @npub1ee6m...tfcv for this brilliant idea!). It's another “Proof of Spend” touch-point as @Sabina likes to call it. 🔸Improve layout to organize the information better. 🔸Increase clarity of the successful status of payment (s/o to the @bitcoin.design event at the ABC Conference for connecting us with a local designer to work on these improvements!) 🔶Redesign Transaction History to use cards (instead of a table) adding more information at a quick glance. 🔶Fix QR scanner bug 🔶Fix phone number input bug 🔶Add support for the newer phone number formats starting with 01 🔶Improved app performance monitoring 🔶Further improve payment reliability 🔶Server improvements & optimizations

PSA: We will be releasing an app update later this evening around 11:00PM (EAT) which also requires a server update. During this process Tando will be unavailable for a short time. We will try to be as quick as possible to minimize downtime. Thanks for your understanding!

January 3rd, Satoshi created the Bitcoin genesis block citing The London Times newspaper. The very next day... January 4th, Tando gets covered in The East African newspaper. Coincidence??!? 😂

Naomi visited the village last week and wanted to spend some bitcoin, so she went to the nearest shop. Of course, they don’t accept bitcoin directly (yet), but luckily, we have @Tando.me! Watch how easy it is to spend bitcoin anywhere in Kenya! 🇰🇪

Relays should all be the same, as I'm using the same account in both.

Just Yakihonne'd a video. Curious to see how it shows up in other nostr clients. View article →

Considering @primal premium for video uploads, why ya gotta do us dirty like that @miljan ? 😂 just kidding. I'm sure it's probably just some 3rd party currency conversion API gone rogue. $80 USD vs $92 USD/KES

If you're in Kenya... Zapping bitcoin around... How can I have it be a Kenyan shilling? – @preston Jusper Machogu shows the world just how easy it is to live entirely on bitcoin in Kenya with the Tando app:

Running Tando

Come along as I buy a few items in a small shop in my Kenyan village using bitcoin with our Tando app & @Wallet of Satoshi Tando is bringing global mobile money to all of Kenya as a Medium of Exchange with a simple app for sats spenders that feels just like the Mpesa app everyone here is already used to. The only difference is you spend bitcoin instead of the local fiat. You should come to Africa Bitcoin Conference in Nairobi in December to try it out! I heard @ODELL and @Marty Bent are thinking of coming on a previous RHR.

Yo @Nathan Day I've got an interesting question for you about BTCMap... Is the intention to display all businesses that accept BTC? OR Is the intention to display all businesses where you can spend BTC? The subtle difference there could open up many more listings. With apps like what we are building with Tando, or similarly Bringin, BitcoinJungle, Mt Pelerin, Opago, Lipa, etc.... we are seeing more tools that let people spend, but the receiver doesn't even know Bitcoin is being used by the payer. In a few days, we will publicly launch Tando which turns all 100,000+ business in all of Kenya into a biz you can spend bitcoin at. From street vendors to shopping malls, spend sats anywhere, easily. So the question is, how does that affect BTCMap when the entire country of Kenya is orange for sats spenders? I imagine most users of BTCmap want to know where they can spend?

How it started. How it's going.
