If you're in Da Nang next weekend, we'll have a small semi-private gathering.
If you have been using BitcoinVN as a client and/or are otherwise eligible, feel free to reach out for more details via our common support channels. 🙂
No free food involved, so if you just want to scrounge for a free meal - that's the wrong occasion. 😁

In the month of August, our team run in the preparation of our Lightning infrastructure upgrade an expanded stress test of our node & routing infrastructure.
Within ~9 hours, we successfully routed close to 1m$ worth of BTC payments via the Lightning Network - and we were positively surprised that not a single attempted payment failed.

We would like to thank all our peers for their contribution to make this test such a success - as well everyone who contributed to the software stack which made it possible to conduct tests at such scale in the year of 2025.

Thanks Frens for the feedback on the Zap issues!
When we configured our Zap addy it was still running on the old (custodial) Alby implementation.
The new AlbyHub requires to have available channels which we want to connect to our own node - however, currently we only operate a TOR routing node... our clearnet routing node is scheduled to come online in H2/2025 :-)

We will spend some time on setting this all up anew once our clearnet node is online.

One of the service improvements we brought about over the past month was our VND instant payout service.
Whether a tourist, Digital Nomad or some otherwise unbanked person - or simply wanting to pay somebody in Vietnam:
You can now use our offramp service - currently no sign-up required - and the funds will arrive instantly in the recipient account.

In case you decide to use BitcoinVN with an account (which is NOT necessary for the pure swap or offramp function!) - you can add your favourite bank accounts in your profile as a type of "address book"
Funds will arrive within seconds in the recipient account if you chose our VND_instant cashout option.

This week, we’re moving our customer support to a self-hosted system, cutting out third-party providers to give you even better privacy and control.
From now on, all communication stays in-house - more secure, more efficient.
Expect a smoother, stronger experience as we continue to raise the bar.
Thank you for your support as we make this upgrade! 🙌

We recently launched an overview page to list out Open Source projects in the space we supported:
https://bitcoinvn.io/opensource
While as Vietnam-based exchange we naturally are not able to provide as much monetary support as some Western firms, we aim to continuously give back within our means and support selected projects which we believe drive Bitcoin adoption forward in a plentitude of ways.
Our contributions might be minor in the grand scale of things, but then again:
The more distributed and widespread the support base is, the less likely specific projects get beholden to please specific corporate interests.

It's taken us a while to come to #DaNang, but here we are 😄
On our mission which we begun in late 2013 to provide an easy & simple on- and offramp in #Vietnam we've always strived to keep the user experience simple and pleasant.
Which also means:
Being a friend of cash and the freedom to live an #unbanked lifestyle.
The technology has of course come a long way since then.
Back in the day, there were barely a handful of mobile wallets on the market; Lightning did not exist and Multisig was something for... the adventurous who were willing to dabble around with commands in the console of their Bitcoin client.
While freedom is certainly under pressure around the world, we also should not underappreciate how far we've all come in the past decade to provide powerful tools for those who seek to opt out from a failing system.
And back to Da Nang:
The city in central Vietnam was not only the host city of #LightningCon2023, one of the first post-lockdown Bitcoin conferences in South East Asia, but also has been increasingly drawing in visitors and digital nomads from around the globe for its "big-city-at-a-beach" lifestyle with (mostly) great climate, access to fresh food and plenty of cultural activities in and around the city.
Give it a visit - and if you need some local cash to keep going...
...you know who can help out :-)

As the exit doors in Western countries are closing due to the upcoming need to recollateralize the system, the question comes up ever more often:
How can I use BitcoinVN as a non-Vietnam resident?
Using the Cash Offices or Bitcoin ATM's is of course not a practical solution if you have no boots on the ground.
Not often talked about, but:
Up to 250,000 VND (~10 USD) you can use our service globally to convert Fiat into Sats without the need to create an account with our service.
https://bitcoinvn.io/?deposit=vndwise&settle=btcln
Yes, we know those limits are very low due to the risks associated with accepting unverified fiat funds - but for a small steady stacking option, it is a viable option. 🙂
For anything more, there are alternative pathways - and our OTC desk team ( https://bitcoinvn.io/otc ) is happy to help you navigate your options.

2024-09-01 15:39:11 CEST

- reply

Likely not an option for the majority of your audience, but in #Vietnam it's still pretty simple to buy Sats without KYC procedures.
We do operate a Cash Office in Saigon as well as several Bitcoin ATM outlets across the area :-)
Possibly useful if on vacation and looking to grow the unregistered BTC stack :-)
2) Cashing out BTC (Lightning, On-chain, Liquid) to either cash (currently 5 cities supported) or bank wire (any valid Vietnamese bank account) is also supported.
Which allows visitors to live in Vietnam pretty easily without the need for a bank account :-)

2024-08-31 14:55:14 CEST

For those, who don't know about us yet we will share some notes about the story & history about how #BitcoinVN came to be over the coming weeks and months.
BitcoinVN ( nowadays operating under BitcoinVN.io ) - originally named "Bitcoin Vietnam" - was registered in December 2013 and launched #Vietnam's first Bitcoin Exchange in March 2014.
Now, in hindsight and the year being 2024, the name "Bitcoin Vietnam" sounds certainly rather uninspired.
But:
In those early days the vast majority of the world (and local) population had not even ever(!) heard about #Bitcoin, a situation which is of course vastly different a decade on.
In those very early days, as the very first and second wave of actual business in the Bitcoin ecosystem started to form, naming your company "Bitcoin XYZ" was a very normal thing to do.
After all:
There was NOBODY ELSE in the whole region/country/city being involved with Bitcoin at all besides you and a couple of handful of other guys who all knew each other from Bitcointalk... - those were the days.
