"I use Blink for onboarding newbies, but it's a turn-off when SMS doesn't arrive instantly... 😪"
Say no more, fam 🧑‍🔧
With the latest version of Blink, it's possible to add phone number later, so onboarding is Lightning⚡️ fast!

Lightning? ⚡️
Bitcoiners asked for it.
We built it.
Everybody uses it.
The consequence?
Fast, low-cost transactions. 🎉
But no sleeping.

Starting today with v2.2.325, Blink will be publishing and signing APKs of new Blink releases on @nprofile…tdq0, a nostr-native alternative app store without Big Tech censorship and gatekeeping.
Users who had Blink installed from Google Play Store can switch over by uninstalling the Google Play distributed version and installing from Zapstore.
Important: make sure you have set up an authentication method to recover your account before switching.

Thank you for providing your input and bug reports. 🤙
Stablesats is a useful tool for many, but it’s understandable that it can make onboarding confusing. You aren’t the first person to say this and we’re considering how best to address it.
Do you mean add option to buy/sell in the app?
Thanks for mentioning the Earn tab issue — if he wants to hop into telegram group, t.me/blinkbtc we would be glad to help. Also if you send his LN address we can make sure he gets some sats 😁
