Quick Question. Are we moving forward with the Satsraiser even if we don't hear from Anita?
I really would like to take advantage of Stacker News' easy zapping feature. I know we can't eliminate trust here, but I really don't want everyone having to trust me to make the donation to Anita. If she knew it was coming to her SN wallet, and was ready to move the sats as they came in, that would be my ideal. I don't know if @k00b has a direct way to contact her, but if he gives her a heads up, that would be great.
I am prepared to go forward on Wednesday either way. I'll make the post and transfer the initial sats that we committed to right away through her donation page.

@kr arranged the AMA with her. Perhaps he could help.

That would be awesome.

Say you run the campaign as a post. It gets 500k sats worth of zaps. That would show on the post so everyone can verify how much that is. Then you make the same amount of donation to her (I see she accepts it in USD value but we can figure that out). She does offer a view receipt option but you have to be quick. I just donated 1 dollar and missed the receipt the first time but got it the second time. Then just screen grab the receipt and post on SN. (I have seen people post charts and memes so this must be feasible)
Would that work?
reply
Yes it would. I checked it out too. I still would prefer the SN wallet if it's feasible, since I would like to make this a regular thing to worthy causes.
reply
Agreed that is ideal.

I don't mind. I trust Siggy and I am sure most others do but I understand why he would feel more comfortable providing some proof.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I really like the ideal of trustless donations, though we're not there yet. Bitcoin wallets can really revolutionize charity. I don't want to get deep in the weeds here, but eventually conditional and time locked transactions could also limit fraud.

Good idea. Is she active on nostr? I follow her but haven't paid close attention
This is good to know, because it shows she's open to a direct zap donation.
