sms4sats pitch

sms4sats is an online service that allows you to send and receive text messages and pay with Lightning.

Problem: SMS is widely used for user authentication and notifications, however it's a privacy issue to give out personal phone numbers to many online services who either sell the data or get hacked so user phone numbers become available to bad actors like spammers and scammers.

A similar problem for businesses is dealing with existing SMS providers with their intrusive KYC and lack of alternatives that accept Bitcoin on Lightning Network natively.

Solution: sms4sats.com allows anyone to purchase a 1-time disposable phone number with Lightning so they can receive a validation SMS from online services such as twitter, telegram, discord in under 1 minute.

sms4sats.com also offers an API so business can send out SMS and pay with Lightning thus joining the Bitcoin Circular Economy.

Team: We are a group of indie devs that have been actively creating apps and contributing to bitcoin open source projects for years.

Status: Since the launch of our API we already added support for telegram (on @lntxbot) and 3rd party devs introduced their discord bot based on sms4sats API: https://twitter.com/BubbleBoyBit/status/1595358552918528000

Roadmap:

Continue approaching LN native companies so they can use sms4sats API for their use cases and stay on LN for their SMS expenses.
Improve quality of receive orders - deliverability and speed. Continue adding more providers and optimizing to get close to %100 user satisfaction.
Work on sms4sats mobile app to build our own SMS provider network: This is the grand vision for sms4sats where anyone can use a cheap phone and a fresh sim card to offer SMS services for others and earn sats!
