At least it doesn't say Lightning is a blockchain (like this article does: https://cointelegraph.com/blockchain-for-beginners/a-beginners-guide-on-blockchain-layer-2-scaling-solutions oof cringe)

What other monetization ideas did you consider and why did you rule them out?

Question asker posts a bounty. Some algorithm decides which answer(s) receives the bounty. But that seems really hard, which is why I'm moving on to a different idea.

My new idea revolves around making it so only a targeted influencer (e.g. twitter handle) can answer and claim the bounty. The bounty can be increased by the question asker or other people.

When I say custodial yes I mean deposit ahead of time, like what stacker or vida.page has.

Cool idea of buying answers. Never thought of that.

I was originally coding up a satsoverflow of my own. (Which you can find here: https://github.com/babinchak/satsoverflow) I pivoted to a different idea though that is more influencer related.

Would be nice to have a custodial service and have invoice payments automatically refresh the page (using LND's SubscribeSingleInvoice)

Currently it seems like a 'demand for inbox space' model

In a parallel universe where you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you have named Bitcoin instead of Bitcoin?
