KYC is the illicit activity.

This is the way! I wish all developers have this mindset of non-compliance.

But they do not sign the release themselves. Now, with multiple signing options it's easier than ever @npub1v5uf...n0v5

๐Ÿš€ zapstore-cli 0.2.0-rc1 released Attention developers! The biggest zapstore-cli release yet, with lots of improvements for publishing. - Support for signing with nsec, NIP-07 in the CLI, NIP-46 bunkers, as well as sending unsigned events to stdout for use with nak or any other signer - No longer depend on apktool (that annoyed so many Linux devs) or apksigner, no more shell calls - Upload to configurable Blossom servers - Simplified yet more powerful config file format - Much smarter extracting metadata - Overall way faster Massive amount of work went into this. Finally releasing! But for that reason it's a release candidate, so please report bugs. Upgrade now by running: zapstore install zapstore Or get it at: https://zapstore.dev/download Full release notes: https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore-cli/releases #devstr

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. View quoted note โ†’

Good! Sidenote: I would update and remove the locations in Boracay. None here accept bitcoin anymore.

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. ๐Ÿ‘€ Ma ai Nostriches non gliene frega niente perchรฉ tanto noi abbiamo Zapstore โœŠ"

I wouldn't say absolutely. I ahoulsve specified and said "none of the ones I've asked". I've been here a few weeks, yet to find someone who accepts it.

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.

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.
