I am involved with the wallet. I've actually been using it for some months. My interest in this is, the ability to send and receive Bitcoin via Lightning Network, powered by Machankura.
I have a few friends I introduced to the wallet. The only challenge is, there are currently no Azteco merchants in Malawi. Nevertheless, anyone can become a Bitcoin merchant, to enhance the full adoption of Bitcoin, especially using Machankura, which enables accessibility without internet connection.

You need internet for Azteco online, right?
reply
Only the merchant needs internet, but the buyer doesn't. The buyer simply loads the Bitcoin voucher directly into Machankura Wallet without internet connection.

Fantastic! Do you know of other people in Malawi who use the wallet?
Do many people in Malawi know about bitcoin?

Machankura Wallet will officially open office in Malawi soon. I think upon opening the office, people will have enough courage to use the wallet. Currently, people can conduct P2P Bitcoin trading. For instance, the seller transfers enough Bitcoin to his/her Machankura Wallet via Lightning Network from whatever source, prior to selling. He/she then sells the Bitcoin to a Machankura Wallet user without internet connection.

A good number of people in Malawi know about Bitcoin, and actually use it for various reasons. There are currently very few people who use the wallet, most of which were introduced by my fellow Orange Pillers and me.
