About


Orange Pages uses your Lightning wallet to sign you in — no password required. When you click Login, a QR code appears. Open your Lightning wallet, scan the code, and you're in. Compatible wallets include...​

You just require an email address and a Lightning wallet. Your email is used to notify you when someone wants to buy from you or when a trade needs your attention. It's not shared publicly or sold to anyone.​

A P2P (peer-to-peer) transaction is an instant, direct exchange of funds (bitcoin) between individuals, via a lightning wallet, without the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks.​

Orange Pages connects bitcoiners who want to sell or buy goods directly with each other. Sellers can create listings to offer items or services for sale and buyers can browse listings to find what you need. Once you find something you like, you click buy and will be provided with the contact details of your fellow bitcoiner and from there you can complete the transaction directly via your lightning wallet.​

When you have completed a peer-to-peer trade with another Orange Pages user, you must provide feedback for the trade. This is a crucial element of Orange Pages, the Proof-of-Work mechanism if you will. This system ensures that Orange Pages is reputation-based, and users can make their own decisions on whether or not to trade with another user. Therefore you must provide feedback on a completed trade in order to be able to list or purchase new items.

Orange Pages supports a wide range of transactions, including buying and selling goods, paying for services, and more. However, there are some items and services that are not able to be marketed on Orange Pages. This is not to censure users or their listing but to ensure Orange Pages can remain operational now and into the future. Prohibited items include, illegal substances such as narcotics, explosives and firearms. On a positive note, more is allowed to be listed on Orange Pages than taken aboard a flight.​

You'll need a completed profile first. Once that's done, click 'List an item' from your profile page. Add a title, description, photos, price in sats, condition, and your region. Listings are reviewed before going live.

Market listing: Orange Pages charges 1000 sats per transaction. This fee is fixed and your market listing will remain for sale until it’s sold or you remove the item.
Service listing: The fee is fixed at 10,000 sats and your listing will remain on Orange Pages until you remove it.

When a buyer clicks Buy, both parties receive an email with each other's contact details to arrange the exchange. Once the item changes hands, both the buyer and seller confirm the trade is complete on the platform. That confirmation is what builds your reputation on Orange Pages.

When you register or take an action that requires verification, such as confirming a trade, you'll receive an email with a secure link. Click the link to authenticate. The link is single-use and expires after a short time, so check your inbox promptly. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder.

In case of disputes, we offer a dispute resolution process. Users can report issues, and our support team will mediate to reach a fair resolution. Additionally, user ratings and reviews play a key role in assessing the reputation of users.​

When prompted to rate, users are presented with options: Rugged, Ok or Sweet.​
In order to calculate a user's score, points values are applied to those ratings:​
Rugged (1 Point)
Ok (2 Points)
Sweet (3 Points).

A user's rating is then taken as the average of all their completed ratings so far, and they are assigned status based on the following averages:​
Average of 2.5 or over = Maxi​
Average of 1.5 - 2.49 = Bitcoiner​
Average of 1.49 or less = Shitcoiner​
No completed trades yet = Nocoiner​

As fellow bitcoiners, we take user privacy seriously and have considered what is the least information needed to enable transactions to take place. Using your existing lightning wallet to log in, we have built Orange Pages in a way that the only personal information necessary is your email address. Your email address is required to enable you to connect with other sellers and buyers. We don't seek any further personal details and we will never share or sell your email address to anyone. ​

The rating system is based on proof of work, which in the case of Orange Pages, proof of successful sells and buys. We recommend reviewing the other user's profile, ratings, and reviews. Communicate openly with them, ask questions, and conduct due diligence before proceeding with a transaction. Trust your instincts, and if something feels off, don't hesitate to report it to us. ​

In most cases, transactions are binding. However, if you encounter an issue, please contact the other party and try to resolve it. If necessary, you can reach out to our support team for assistance. ​

You can reach our customer support team through the Contact section of Orange Pages. We're here to assist you with any questions or issues you may have. ​

Services is our Bitcoin Yellow Pages - a directory of businesses across New Zealand that accept bitcoin. Unlike the Market (where bitcoiners buy and sell goods peer-to-peer), Services helps you discover shops, tradespeople, hospitality and professionals you can pay with bitcoin. Browse by category, region or payment method, then contact the business directly.

Sign in with your lightning wallet and complete your profile, then go to Services and select List Your Business. Provide your business name, category, a short description, region, the payment methods you accept and at least one contact method, and upload a logo or photo. Pay the one-time listing fee via lightning and your business is sent for a quick moderation check before appearing in the directory.

A Verified listing is one the business created and manages themselves. A Community-listed listing is one the Orange Pages team has added on a business's behalf to help the directory grow - the details are sourced from the community and haven't yet been confirmed by the business. If a Community-listed business is yours, get in touch and we'll help you claim it and become Verified.

We periodically ask verified businesses to confirm their listing is still active, and any logged-in user can flag a listing that looks out of date so our team can review it. This keeps the directory accurate and trustworthy. If you spot something wrong with a listing, use the Flag as out of date button on that listing.
