Presenting JAN3, AQUA wallet and Bitcoin adoption by wildlife NGOs in SA
If you're interested we can discuss and see what the possibilities are. My telegram is @ben_vh and Twitter @bvanhool
JAN3 (the company that Samson Mow started, jan3.com) is almost ready to launch te beta version of their new AQUA wallet by the end of the year. The wallet is very suitable for emerging markets like LATAM and Africa. I'm Ben Van Hool, the COO of JAN3 and know Hermann from Ekasi. While talking we came up with the idea to talk at your event.
I'm currently also talking to Transfrontier Africa (transfrontierafrica.org) to look into Bitcoin. The founder and director Craig Spencer is a friend of me. I could try to get him announce that they will start using Bitcoin with AQUA.
AQUA will be a non-custodial wallet with on-chain BTC and Liquid BTC and Liquid USDt. We will also allow send/receive to Lightning through a Liquid swap. This is a trade-off because in the end the user has a non-custodial wallet which is very easy to use and no need for managing a node or balancing channels.
I think the story of AQUA + adoption by an organization like Transfrontier Africa would be a nice story to bring. Craig Spencer could be an additional speaker on stage.
