Moar SPARs onboarded to Bitcoin in 🇨🇭.
And the best bit?
They were added to The Map without either DFX, SPAR or ourselves knowing or being involved.
THIS IS THE WAY.

The latest release of our Android app has just dropped!
v0.8.0 brings:
- Show place comments
- Hide ATMs by default
- Show places offering delivery
GitHub link below or in your favorite app store now. @npub10r8…t2p8.
We have temporarily lost dark tile support as we migrate to a self-sovereign vector tile setup. Dark tiles will hopefully back in the next release!
We have also migrate to a RPC-based API on the BTC Map server, which makes things more efficient and performant all round.
Igor did most of the heavy lifting on all of this and so props to him. 💪
