Found out about Apollo, a site that pays you sats for reviewing Bitcoin products

By cryotosensei | CryptoSensei | 23 Dec 2022


I seldom use Twitter, so I wasn't aware of the existence of Apollo. I came across it while taking a break from work today and decided to explore it further.

I loved that I could just sign up for an account by linking it to my (throwaway) Twitter account. Getting 100 sats for this simple action didn't hurt either.

There were many products that I could choose to review, so I decided to start off by reviewing The Wallet of Satoshi. Please find my review as written below:

I was introduced to The Wallet of Satoshi when I became a user of sMiles and Carrot, both of which were apps that paid me sats via the Lightning Network. As a beginner to the Lightning Network, I found it easy to register an account with The Wallet of Satoshi. I thought that it was fairly easy and intuitive to use. Whenever I wished to withdraw my sats from sMiles and Carrot, I could sync these apps with The Wallet of Satoshi conveniently and receive my hard-earned sats promptly - all without the need to set up a Lightning Invoice. However, I recall certain moments of frustration when it failed to register my transaction, so I was forced to give up and wait for another time to transfer my sats over.

To be honest, the dealbreaker for me was that The Wallet of Satoshi charges a hefty transaction fee (always about 7000 to 8000 sats, no matter how often I checked the price). For a small-time user of the Lightning Network, it inevitably left a bitter taste in my mouth because it seemed that the majority of my sats had to be allocated towards paying off the transaction fee first. While I am grateful to how it assimilated me into the world of the Lightning Network without much fuss, I have since embarked on the use of another Lightning Wallet.

As you can see, it's currently under review. If the personnel behind Apollo decide to publish it, I will get 200 sats for my effort. If it doesn't match up to the standards required of this review site, well, my effort isn't for nothing since I gained some crypto tips from you dedicated readers out there, heh.

Honestly, I am just in love with the BTC Lightning Network, particularly how there are plentiful opportunities out there for me to earn some sats through my writing. It's a crazy and abundant world we live in. Never did I expect to come across a site like Publish0x that pays me handsomely in terms of spiritual gratification for my writing. Neither would I have expected to earn sats from my humble musings!

Would update everyone when I explore Apollo further and become more intimate with its operations. 

If you are keen to explore other writing opportunities on the Lightning Network, here's my referral link for Stacker News. I knew I had posted before about how I didn't see myself using it anymore, but somehow, I was able to enjoy some moderate success on it, so I feel confident about shilling it here: https://stacker.news/r/senseigetcrypto. But that's another article for another time!
