So now I am paying bots?

If you wish #1427584 but most probably, you are paying the creator of the bot.

PlebQR is the one doing it right, because is P2P. Not sure how the founder got access to the banking APIs but it is doing it right. Openpleb seems following the same approach, hard path when opensource, meanwhile MoneyBadger is a business keeping the sats and paying back merchants with fiat.

The issue I see is this type of tools is that, to play as intermediary, one need to have access to the QRcodes issuer database via APIs, wheter is a business or a govt bank, consequently the majority are closed and requires B2B agreement to allow an external integration with any bitcoin tool.

Not sure how you gonna do it, but I look forward to see such tools in Colombia

Thanks, it would be nice to get more details about the error to know if it depend on my or their side.

exactly what I shared in the title Lightning Payout Failed

I feel you are not understanding what I'm trying to explain. We are indeed saying the same. I'm just adding that, to have a full "circular economy", stackers should be able to buy the SNZ with CCs if they wish too.

tell me

Yeah, I get what you’re doing, and it makes sense, feel sorry for those with fucked brain, lol! But if we’re calling this a real “circular economy,” I’m just wondering — why is @plebpoet selling the zine through Zaprite instead of right here on SN? And why keep the SNZ catalog on a web page instead of hosting it here?

I saw Agora’s take on this (link to solid effort) but it seems like SN’s missing out on a great internal use case.

Feels like SNZ sales should really happen inside SN, with stacker pricing that includes the sybil tax to keep things balanced.

Great suggestion, thank you. I'll reach out and ask. Any other organization you thik I could reach out for advice and inspiration?

thanks I'll check this out too

Thank you, theGivingBlock is really useful and I did not know about it. Same as that Zaprite requires self-custodial, I'll learn more about it.

I'm not expecting one tool to fix the whole flow, the NPO is already using a tool to receive "crypto", ideally I
d like that tool to be just as backup, it could turn useful to swap crypto to bitcoin in the future

Thank you for taking the time and share all this information, L'll take the time to learn more about all your mentions.

Geyser is probably excluded, there are already many intermediaries in the current process and adding another intermediary with a 5% fee seem unnecessary, especially for NPO at this scale. Those sats could save many children lifes. Pay with flash sound's interesting too, for a more humble 1,5% fee.

You mention BTCpay again, so I'll be prone to explore how they could implement it in their existing system and evaluate if it has some APIs.

Lighting will be used mostly internally and to send sats abroad to final destination. In this step would be interesting to connect with local communities so they can take care of educating the donation beneficiaries in loco. Custodial solution may not work, I was thinking more about a federated solution where the NPO keep the sats in case beneficiaries loose access etc.

Good idea, thank you. BTCpay could be the server to receive directly in the multisig cold storage. The NPO is and will run multiple fundraisers campaigns simultaneously, I'll check if that's an option.
