Wiper messenger introduced bitcoin payments and for this was blocked in China

Wiper messenger, the main feature of which is the removal of dialogs, added Bitcoin support to its functionality . Wiper users can send each other amounts in a cryptocurrency without the need to exchange bitcoin addresses. True, this innovation came to the side of the service - their application was removed from the Chinese division of the iOS App Store "due to violation of the rules of service."

This was announced by CEO Manlio Carelli . According to him , the Apple Store support service explained to him that the deletion was due to the introduction of cryptocurrency support. Although bitcoin is permitted in China for individuals, it is possible that companies providing such services are required to obtain some kind of license. Interestingly, according to statistics, more than 80% of all exchange transactions are made between BTC and yuan (the American dollar is in second place in popularity).

The messenger, which received a $ 2.5 million investment last summer, offers users unique control over chat rooms. You can delete your dialogue with any user - at the same time, it is deleted not only from your device, but also from the device of your interlocutor. All traces of the deleted communication, according to the assurances of the company, are also erased from the Wiper servers.
