Cryptocurrency is an illegitimate industry founded on scams, ponzi schemes, and incredible waste. This is an immoral project which should not exist.

Bitcoin was founded on that back of all those things, only they were committed en mass by institutions using fiat money. Crypto is a tool like any other it just depends on what you use it for.

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

The recipient will have 24 hours to connect to PeerSend. If they don't connect in time, your payment will simply be cancelled and your money will stay in your wallet

Looks nice, but even after some browsing around I couldn't answer a very crucial question: is the handcash wallet custodial or not?

Thanks, We will add this to our FAQ. HandCash in non-custodial wallet. You may have more information about it here https://handcash.medium.com/handcash-goes-keyless-b86d273392...

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 con…

There was another Bitcoin SV scam article just a week ago. It looks like Craig Wright is paying people to continue with it again. Maybe he has a new court appearance coming up, although I’m not following what’s happening to him.

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 ha…

We believe BSV is an excellent blockchain to build products on, because of its scalability, sustainability, transparency, and instant transaction. Its TPS is unlimited, block size unbounded, and the average network fee is $0.0004.

Also community is very important to us. BSV is being used in daily lives of many people, far more than other major cryptocurrencies, thanks to its scalability. And a lot of pioneer developers of Bitcoin & blockchain are developing on BSV. These make one very healthy community that is likely succeed.

Congratulations on the launch!

A suggestion (since PeerSend is limited to payments with bitcoin / lightining?): Consider building this on top of stable coins likes USDC, DAI, either on offchain networks like celo.org, or lenders like goldfinch, or stacks like silamoney.com

I really believe cross border payments is an important problem to solve (with more and more workforce going remote and products like tryjeeves, brex, usealloy atop traditional financial instruments notwithstanding) and that stable coins can enable that.

Also see: paymobil.co and lastbit.io

Unfortunately No one pays us anything and I wonder how you are so sure about something which you even don't follow.

Why would anyone want to use this?

The author can just advertise their preferred payment method including a BTC wallet if they like to. And the user can be sure that their money reaches the author instead of PeerSend pocketing it after 24 hours.

Brave attempted this with BAT as well and it seems it was put on ice despite better browser integration and not pocketing the money after 24 hours.

This isn’t built on top of Bitcoin, it’s built on Bitcoin hard fork. Also, why would you use stable coins and thus adding a centralised point of failure when Bitcoin already solves this? Just use it as payment rails.
