End of Day 2 - Here's the Chivo App Checklist

Here's the Chivo checklist so far (until proven otherwise... please keep this in mind! Many of these problems may indeed be temporary launch bugs and patched):

- Unable to send BTC/LN transactions under $5 USD. Effectively killing micro-transactions, and ensuring BTC/LN can not be used as currency.

- Custodial.

- A Security failure that includes access to the users microphone (the app has no features that would required a microphone that I could see), access to external drives, and a host of other invasive security flaw.

- Owned by a private company, funded by tax dollars. Unclear if profits will return to the tax payers.

- “No fee”, but fees actually paid for by tax dollars.

- Unbearably slow - actions on app take ~ 1 to infinite minutes.

- Multiple errors and stoppages.

- Unable to transfer initial $30 BTC out.

- Unable to transfer additon BTC out if added, until a seemingly random number of Chivo to Chivo transactions have occurred.

- Mandatory (by law) for all merchants to use - breaks the myth that people have a choice to use other apps here.

As you know, I'm currently in El Salvador to investigate what's going on. Someone was kind enough to provide me a donation that is allowing me the funds to stay another full week -- THANK YOU ANON.

Everything above (and much more) is documented.

I will be releasing another full 1hr+ long documentary on ~everything~ happening here.

Along with a few surprises, including an INTERVIEW with the Bitcoin Dissident that was arrest without a warrant after criticizing the Chivo app days before launch.

Side note: I've kinda gone viral in El Salvador. If you didn't see, I created an education video on how to get BTC OUT of Chivo into a noncustodial wallet.

Will continue to post updates here so long as they are wanted. Please let me know.
