Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

@craigraw @AppStore @AppleSupport please review, Craig is a highly respected bitcoin app developer and Sparrow Wallet is a very popular app.

[Craig Raw 🐦 @craigraw]

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".

Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.

The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.

I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.

The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.

I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.

If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

@gnukeith We'll be doing it eventually anyway, but I'll make this commitment right now:

If someone gets an online petition together with 1000 people saying they'd switch to Proton VPN if we supported Monero then I guarantee that I'll get it crowbarred into the Summer roadmap.

5/5

@PeterMcCormack @Nigel_Farage Good interview, definitely get @Nigel_Farage on again. The fact it triggers all the Remoaners is just a bonus!😂

@nopara73 @VariableFate You can pay in bitcoin for the subscription, if that’s what you are referring to. Well worth it too.

[BitHadouken @BitHadouken]

@pierre_rochard Excellent…and all with zero withdrawal fees. Setting the standard for others to follow⚡️

[BitHadouken @BitHadouken]

@BTCSchellingPt 100% this. You’ll save money too if buying something like an Intel NUC as no Windows needed!
@pop_os_official as an alternative to Ubuntu is even easier to adopt, IMO. H/t to @ODELL for recommending it many moons ago.

[BitHadouken @BitHadouken]

@PeterMcCormack Good luck Pete, stay strong!💪🏻

@BTCSchellingPt Thank you for posting this link- what a great read.

[BitHadouken @BitHadouken]

@stephanlivera This is incorrect. Searched Bitcoin and it is top of the list in their app.

@MartyBent Great stuff Marty! Educating the world on the MSM big screen!

@MartyBent @protonmail is a great service. Setup @simple_login while you’re at it for alias addresses, it’s hugely underrated.
