" summary

Machankura lets people send and receive Bitcoin without internet using USSD and SMS text interfaces, creating a custodial-compatible wallet that a user can create with one press on a dumb phone. The service routes transactions through a Bitcoin node that first processed live Machankura payments on a Raspberry Pi and can migrate to cloud nodes; the South Africa access code is exposed on stage and basic flows are shown working end-to-end.
