When I want to gift someone with sats, I often create them an account on my lnbits instance and tell them to use bluewallet with lndhub so they can access their wallet with a better UX than lnbits, I also give them a github gist where I tell them how/where they can use that, like that, and the fundamentals of bitcoin, and moreover, try to trigger their curiosity about how currencies really work.
If they don't use it after a while (6~12 mo) I take it back.
Is nice onboarding. But without a proper education those new recipients will just forgot about that link and never withdraw to their own wallets. This happen so many times.
Lightsats does something similar, but if the recipient doesn't collect the gift, it returns to the gifter after some time.

There's a risk the service goes down or is hacked just like with lncash
view on twitter.comI sent 1$ It worked on my phoenix wallet but the website never acknowledge the payment.
Still waiting on the site to see my dollar :(
nvm I refreshed the site until I saw the balance

A great idea and a horrible idea, all in one!
