Airbtc Pioneers Bitcoin-Only Bookings with Innovative NOSTR Identity Verification

By enabling NOSTR Identity Verification, Airbtc Introduces a Significant Alternative to Traditional KYC Measures, Increasing Privacy & Security in Digital Transactions and Bookings

Capetown, RSA; September 19th, 2024 – Airbtc, the pioneering Bitcoin-only bookings platform, introduces identity verification using NOSTR, a novel alternative to traditional KYC verification marking a significant step towards privacy and security in digital transactions and bookings

In a recent case, Airbtc successfully verified a client’s identity through NOSTR. The client, who wishes to remain anonymous, provided Airbtc’s team with the NOSTR Npubs for both himself and his wife. After a thorough inspection of their profiles, the team confirmed their identities, thereby approving their access to the platform.

Handre van Heerden, Founder of Airbtc, commented, “At Airbtc, privacy is paramount. We are continuously exploring alternatives to traditional KYC practices, which often serve more to regulate and tax than to secure. Our goal is simple: to keep our platform free from malicious actors while respecting user privacy.” Van Heerden added, “Airbtc is a platform by Bitcoiners for Bitcoiners. The legacy fiat economy is already obsolete, and more people are waking up to this fact daily.”

Launched in July, Airbtc is now accepting listings and bookings globally, with all transactions conducted exclusively in Bitcoin. This Bitcoin-only approach allows Airbtc to operate without borders, enabling anyone using Bitcoin to list or book properties worldwide.

The platform has quickly garnered attention within the Bitcoin community, evidenced by a surge in listings and several successful bookings shortly after its launch.
