Chama

OH! snap. 🤗

I don't know why but it seems obvious that everyone will either choose an AI to attack others, and/or an AI to defend themselves or others.

Chama v6.4.21 is out. Android and desktop users: please update.

This security hotfix adds authentication to the native wallet bridge, rejects amountless or oversized payout invoices, and stops community switching or resets when the wallet balance cannot be read.

An internal review found one critical and six high findings. This release fixes the critical one and three of the highs; other findings remain open. We have no reports of these being used.

Full details, remaining findings and validation:

Bitcoin commerce should be easier than assembling flat-pack furniture. 🌀

People should be able to trade directly, using local money and Bitcoin rails. The first screen needs to make sense before any of that matters.

Open https://getchama.app on your phone and take a look at getting started. No need to fund a trade for this: tell us where you pause, squint, or go “wait… what?”

Reply with your phone/browser and the confusing bit. That’s useful feedback. That’s how we build.

First problem here already, can't make a LN payment as a zap, if you're using NIP-46 as a signing method. It's stuck on the QR forever, no signing prompt came at all...

I'm trying Ditto and it's super cool! I think it's really intuitive. I'll try to keep up with the streak! 🥰

onchain wallet is the easiest wallet I've ever used. I've always thought #Bitcoin would be better used by normies if we'd stop telling them about fees on every transaction. And these guys delivered. Hats to you guys.

What a beautiful day today! ❤️

If I say to you:

“Open a bank account (if you can) in order to receive your salary there”.

Somehow we all feel safe right? 👀🔒

However if I tell you:

“Give me your salary and I’ll keep it on your behalf until you can open a bank account”.

Somehow that feels risky right? 👀💀

WHY IS THAT?

👀(Now would you change your answer if I’m a trusted family member?)

I wonder if Satoshi knew most bitcoiners would use Centralized Exchanges instead of even the old custodial Wallet of Satoshi...

Can we just trade with one another? Or we need Binance, Strike et al?

Your #Bitcoin life should be THIS easy. 😎

Learn how to spend sats. It's extremely important.

Chama is futureproof.

Every single day, I get into conversations and realize that people need to know the #bitcoin price in their own currency, so I created a Converter baked into

.

Please take care of yourself, beautiful people.

Happy Sunday people!

A community is not defined by where people live.

It’s defined by what they are willing to do for one another.

To trust. To trade. To solve problems. To protect each other.

For too long we’ve outsourced those relationships to giant corporations.

Chama is an attempt to bring them back.

Not by asking people to trust a company, but by giving communities the tools to trust each other.

Technology shouldn’t replace community.

It should strengthen it.

#Bitcoin #P2P #Community #SelfCustody #Chama

Has anyone ever noticed that in a fiat world, because it pays so well to do evil, most seem to result in beating someone else upside the head for financial reasons?

In a #bitcoin circular economy, you have zero incentive to do that because of what I call the Daily NGU, and Daily NGD. Get some sats, and observe. You'll learn that it's never about the ironic thing we call "money", but mostly about ourselves.

We’re forced to use currency every day. But money is for eternity.

Most people simply don't wake up wanting Bitcoin. They wake up wanting to:

Find work. Sell something. Hire someone. Make money. Solve a problem.

The Bitcoin part is almost never their initial motivation. Chama flips the order:

Instead, the experience becomes: I need work.

↓ I create a Work Offer in 60 seconds.

↓ My profile is now publicly discoverable on Nostr.

↓ Someone hires me.

↓ They fund escrow.

↓ I finish the work.

↓ I receive sats.

↓ Now I own Bitcoin because I earned it.

Yeah people are quick to forget that this guy flipped his vest on self-custody, way quicker a shitcoiner rebranding after a rug pull...

oh man oh man oh man.. 🤤

How a Chama trade actually finishes:

1. Lock — funds go into escrow the moment both sides commit. Not a promise, not an IOU.

2. Deliver — pay the bill, hand over the goods, do the work — whatever the trade is.

3. Confirm — both sides mark it done in the app.

4. Settle — sats release automatically. If you ever disagree, your community's bonded arbiter steps in and the tie breaks in public, not in your DMs.

5. Rate — leave a rating right in the trade chat. That rating is what lets the next stranger trust you before they've even met you.

No customer support ticket. No "please wait 3-5 business days." Just a protocol that already knew what to do.

We didn't wait for the court to know it was perfectly normal to use a VPN.

Cherish life.

Only19 years old winning not one, but 2 World Cups... Yamal is purely amazing. He's a #chamacito in spirit! 🏄‍♂️

Despicable behaviors have been seen from some Argentinian players after the defeat, when they should be like Messi, processing the moment. Can't say this is the first time this happens in this World Cup this year...

Spain is officially the 2026 FIFA World Cup Champions thanks to Ferran! Congratulations on the second star. Messi is mad but he'll get over it, just like France yesterday. Looking forward to 2030...

The game between Spain and Argentina is extremely difficult. I suspect this match may go all the way to the penalty kicks.

“Me enamora, realmente me enamora” 🔥😍

Amen! 🏄‍🙏

What a meeting!! Pure 🔥, we need more of that. 😌

Today’s session explored why Chama was created and the larger vision behind it: enabling people to trade directly, organize around trusted communities, and maintain control of their money without depending on a centralized intermediary.

We explained how Chama’s technical foundations work together:

• #Lightning enables fast Bitcoin payments and settlement.

• npub1su3v8pp…3lcngd

  provides private, community-based #ecash infrastructure.

• On-chain #Bitcoin bonds give arbiters real economic accountability and strengthen trust within each community.

A substantial live demonstration showed how Chama’s peer-to-peer exchange works and how it can benefit people at four connected levels:

1. The world — a vision for open, borderless peer-to-peer commerce.

2. Countries — local markets using the currencies and payment methods people already understand.

3. Communities — trusted groups with their own participants and bonded arbiters.

4. Individuals — people trading, earning, settling payments, and controlling their own funds.

The demonstration highlighted the power of Chama’s peer-to-peer exchange and showed how its broader vision translates into a practical experience for individual users.

We also teased new features currently in development and confirmed that more community learning calls will be held in the future.

Let's value life. Life, as in the simple fact that we can breathe air.

NO. BANK. PERMISSION. REQUIRED. 😌 ⛓️‍💥

Bitcoin is Freedom Go Up technology. ⛓️‍💥

GM 👋 🏄‍♂️

The same people/companies who charge kyc cheap pricing on sats, are buying nokyc sats for themselves. I wonder why.

🥷 🔒 Privacy is not a crime. We will ALWAYS fight for our own privacy!

Treat people with love.

If you've ever watched an exchange freeze your withdrawals, a bank hold your own paycheck hostage, or a "friend" take your money and disappear — you already know what trust is supposed to feel like, because you know exactly what it feels like when it's gone.

Chama doesn't ask you to trust a company. There isn't one holding your funds — your sats exist only for the length of a trade, split three ways between you, the person you're trading with, and a community member who's posted a real Bitcoin bond to vouch for the outcome. Nobody can vanish with it. Nobody can freeze it. The system is built so no single person ever has to be the one you just have to hope is honest.

That's not a tagline. That's the architecture. Some of us needed money to be trustworthy again before we could trust anything else. This is what we built instead of waiting for someone else to fix it.

That's it!! The very first sats to TZS trade officially sealed!! Look how easy it is... video coming soon!

The wallet mental model is dead.

On Chama there's no balance sitting on a server, no app holding your money, nothing to freeze or hack. Sats appear only while a trade is live, then settle straight to you. You never lose one, you never send one twice.

That's not custody — it's coordination. Want to feel it? Pay someone's bill with a Community Bill Pay listing. Easiest first sat you'll ever earn.

Sabina spoke a truth that almost NO ONE wants to admit. 😌💪

A chama is an East African savings circle — neighbors who pool what they have and settle on trust.

We built that for everyone, and made the trust cryptographic instead of personal. No company in the middle. No server to seize or switch off.

Today it reached all the way to cash — a real trade settled to M-Pesa in minutes. 🇰🇪⚡

This is Chama. We're live.
