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

@vikatan I would recommend you to review this topic deeper. Salt is essential for Hydration and energy level.

Vitalik doesn’t buy Ethereum, only sells it.

Ripple doesn’t buy XRP, only sells it.

The US doesn’t buy USD, only prints it.

There can only be one Bitcoin— wake up

[Blue Collar Bitcoin @Blue_CollarBTC]

XRP is the biggest scam of all time

If that triggers you, you are an idiot

@Suprinity @SoloSatoshi Great question. What if a board is designed with raspberry pi + bitaxe together. So we run @start9labs StartOS which has @BitcoinKnots and @ocean_mining Datum. If we can run AxeOS next to these and configure. Can this be the best home mining setup.

@Swan What is Money. There are many other things but this comes out first for me.

@NeilJacobs Because they're smart and productive and likely have higher salaries and less of a need for bitcoin. The current system works just fine for them.

[AQUA Wallet @AquaBitcoin]

AQUA 0.2.0 is live on Android! 🐬

@Liquid_BTC fees are now ~40 sats (3 cents)! Exact cost depends on the tx size/inputs, but overall it's ~10x cheaper than before! We also added Taproot refunds for instant refunds on failed LN payments, RBF #Bitcoin transactions and more. 🌊⚡️

[AQUA Wallet @AquaBitcoin]

Here are the full release notes for this @AquaBitcoin update:

The massive infrastructure outages occurring globally right now are a stark example of why Bitcoin node software does not automatically update.

Auto-updates introduce systemic risk.

The crazy part is that an open-source unstoppable decentralized currency has performed as well over 10 years as the world’s most successful company

The even crazier part is that unlike NVIDIA, anyone could access BTC, no ID or paperwork or particular nationality required
