Hey everyone

PeerSend allows you to send and receive Bitcoin SV in any website or social platform with a single click!

Found an inspirational Tweet? You can reward it! Want to earn money through social media? Create content and get tips!

We just launched Twitter integration yesterday and working on adding other social platforms like Twitch, Facebook and Youtube.

If you want to test it out, send me your paymail address, I will send you some Bitcoin SV to test.

Cheers

The subtitle says you can send crypto "with just one click". Now, maybe I'm being a bit pedantic here but the demo shows it's 4 clicks. Click the lightning bolt, click amount, click the send button, click the X to dismiss the final modal.

Maybe it's not a big difference, but how can you call 4 clicks "one click"?

Typo in the subtitle too - "PeerSend lets people to freely transfer crypto"

Looks great. But choosing Bitcoin SV as underlying seems a bit unconventional. What is the rational behind it?

The site seems very secretive about how it works. After reading a while, here is my educated guess:

To use it, the user first needs to get ahold of Bitcoin SV somehow.

Then the user needs to install their software.

Since the software allows "payments" to people who do not have a public Bitcoin SV address, I guess the payment goes to PeerSend and not to the receiver.

PeerSend then tries to contact the receiver and convince them to make a Bitcoin SV address.

If that happens, PeerSend sends the funds to the receiver.

What happens if I send money to a tweet author and they don’t use PeerSend and don’t want to sign up?

Twitter is already integrating bitcoin.

This app tries to implement one of the many forks “bitcoin SV”, but I think to no avail.

People will use what is easiest and seeing the reel bitcoin integrated means that is what the public will be using...

I am really interested in the concept, but no interest whatsoever in BSV - none of the bitcoin family, but especially no interest in BSV. Is this choice a matter of circumstance (lower fees compared to BTC) or is BSV instrumental to you?

If the former, may I recommend you take a look at Raiden[0], and especially the light client[1]? It would be perfect for your use case (peer-to-peer payments) and the light client has a SDK [2] which you could leverage into the extension.

No good reason as far as I can see. Bitcoin SV is as dead as disco. Use something like lightning or solana or Polygon. But this? Nah...
