Well, Plati is now live!
π₯π₯π₯ https://plati.app
Some info:
π 2+ months of work. Basic intended functionality works. Maybe not all edge cases.
π·πΊ It currently supports only SBP (the Russian Fast Payments System).
πΊ Two types of users: Customer and Payer.
πββοΈ Customer is anyone who wants to pay a Russian merchant with bitcoin. Top up your bitcoin balance, scan the merchantβs QR-code, and your order will go to the order book.
πββοΈ Payer is anyone with a Russian bank account willing to pick up orders from the order book.
β A completed order means that the invoice is paid (Customer happy), and Payer receives invoice amount + commission to his bitcoin balance (also happy).
π Zero users because nobody outside Nostr knows about it. π€£
I will now do more basic testing and start planning marketing campaigns.
Onwards! π

In Russia and from Russia, it is illegal to use Bitcoin for paying for goods and services or for anything where Bitcoin would serve as a means of payment, except in cases where permission is personally granted by Putin.

Yes, but you donβt pay for anything with bitcoin and the merchant never receives bitcoin. You give bitcoin to your friend (legal) and he pays for your coffee from his bank account (legal).

Is this basically an exchange where the fiat payment goes to the merchant instead of remaining with the exchange?

In super simple words, you basically ask a friend to pay your invoice at whatever merchant and then give bitcoin to that friend.

This particular service is centralized, focused on UX. If successful, I plan to develop an open-source fully p2p version of it in parallel.
Think proprietary mass service with sleek UX vs decentralized uncensored service (but, as usually goes with such services, slightly worse UX-wise). There are markets for both.

This is a really good idea. Looking forward to seeing it deployed in other countries too. Good luck with it!
