I Just thought of a workround

  • see a pleb on nostr doing good thing
  • create a nym for them on SN
  • add their ln addy
  • forward 100% to them that way 👉

Hang on they won't have a wallet set up doh 😭

You could still use the work around, but you would have to attach their lightning address as a receiving wallet to the account you set up for them, which starts to be kind of annoying.

I like the idea though. Maybe it could be as simple as being able to select any lightning address to forward sats to.

Yes i did think that after, they or I wouldn't need to set up a wallet, just add the Ln address for recieve and I guess any cc's would accumulate in their profile, which is the messy part, as they'd have to change the login methods or abandon the nym altogether and spin up their own

Supposedly Facebook and the like make profiles for people who don't have accounts but are mentioned on the platform.

I wonder if Stacker News could do something like that: i.e. you can forward sats to any npub and SN will generate a profile for that nym if there isn't already one associated with it. Then, if they ever try to create a SN profile with that npub, those sats will be here waiting for them.

I have no idea if that's technologically possible. It would create some incentive to check out Stacker News and get your sats.

Yeah I thought of creating a nym for said pleb and forwarding the sats to that account

But then I need to inform them ive created this account for them

And tell them the secret phrase to wallet etc

Then they'd have to change the login method

Just messy 😭
