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 😭

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.

Meta idea: forward zaps to any Lightning address, not just SN users
