Maybe you ask the OP to create a SN account and reply to your comment with the associated LN-URL. That way you can verify that you are sending to the OP, while at the same time minimizing the barrier of entry needed for them to start accepting sats
Mhh. Good idea. But there could be "peer pressure" since they would "expose" themselves as being interested by replying to my comment.
So far I have been thinking about getting the invite link in some secret way to the OP.
The invite link would have the sats their post received here attached as a gift.
This way, they really just need to create an account to immediately receive the sats.
But there are no DMs on HN.
I want to find a way so there is no further interaction required by me for them to receive the sats. It should be as seamless as possible to strengthen the point how easy it is to receive sats.
But I guess I am overcomplicating things, haha
I can just start with something easy and update the bot to a better method when I found one.

Probably best. Maybe just start with commenting the invite link and then work on the OP problem as it runs.

Guess the first problem is actually to make these comments not be shadowbanned, lol

Thinking more about this, I think I will just go with your approach: Ask the OP to post an LN address or invoice.
I consider sending the sats to the wrong person a lot worse than requiring some effort from the OP.
