Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele stepped in on Wednesday to manage the fraught roll-out of a payments app that underpins the nation's adoption of bitcoin as legal tender, and called on users to report any problems on his Twitter feed.
Adopting language similar to IT departments in offices around the world, Bukele asked users to close and restart the app if a "currently under maintenance" error screen appeared.
...Overnight the president said the app, a digital wallet, was being disconnected for the second time to "improve user experience and the problems it had during the day."
"We hope that tomorrow will be much better," he wrote in a tweet.
Several users replied in his comments section to report ongoing installation problems.
Douglas Rodriguez, head of El Salvador's central bank, said during an event in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa that the "eyes of the world" were on his country and that the bitcoin adoption was a process that needed time to "mature."
