So many creators that are on Geyser have projects that aim to leave a positive impact on the world.
ProblemProblem
They're looking for more ways to reach the bitcoin community to tell their stories, and to interact with the Bitcoin community; this includes getting feedback, connecting with them, explaining further the problems they're trying to solve.
Proposal ideaProposal idea
Start doing creator AMAs on StackerNews every week or so.
ImplementationImplementation
It could be hosted on Geyser, so we can help orchestrate the whole thing, 100% sats go to the creators. You can expect to see creators making new documentaries, videogames, an educational community or circular economy, a bitcoin meetup in a particular country, or any other awesomely weird and unexpected project.
What does the StackerNews community think, should we do it or not bother?

I thought I knew what you meant by this ...
but I'm not sure what this means.
I'm down for it. Sounds great if it is what I think it is. You don't need our permission to run experiments like this. @benwehrman is the founder of this ~AMA territory and they might have an opinion.

Love it!!
If you're interested we'd love to get you involved in this if you're interested! Prob the best way is joining our Discord: https://discord.gg/ugxtDpRV and we can talk more in there :)
Happy to look into it, what kind of involvement did you have in mind?
would it be ok if we host an AMA in the AMA territory? :)
Absolutely! I'm only a "mod" in the sense that I keep an eye on things, and delete the spam/irrelevant posts that occasionally show up.
Have at it!
How do we know that the creator is the actual creator? So for ex, if Maxis club (https://geyser.fund/project/maxisclub) creates a project, how do we know that it's him and not some random dude posing as him? There is no way to see that they login with their social profile on SN, or am I missing something?
If this is the case, Geyser could host it and FW sats to the creator wallet... it's quite hacky :P
Hmmm I'm not exactly sure what the verification protocol is here. Tagging in @k00b @kr, they will know.
I kind of do these things head-first and adapt as I go. In all likelihood one of us would detect impersonation. But if you all concoct a scheme to do so automatically, I'd be happy to help support it.
Do you think using a ~geyser or ~AMA would be most appropriate?
Would love to have it in ~AMA! The creator would just have to use the proper title format "[Short description of who they are], AMA"
This is a great idea!
I believe SN and Geyser partnership was one of the things we were discussing way back when we were trying to figure out have to find worthy projects for Satsraisers.
Yes. @k00b talked about it, I think.
The main blocker was being able to forward sats to Geyser projects' ln address (e.g. project@geyser.fund) directly, which SN still is not allowing you to FW to wallets outside of SN.
So we'd have to either
@k00b, can you add a ~geyser territory, and I can get a creator on here for next week. lmk if possible
Oh you must have missed! You can make your own territory now.
oh yes i'd missed it
I wish the poll would require a reason when people vote no.
Or be customized however. Requiring a reason for either way, one way, or none.
Perhaps we can do sentiment analysis over the reasons to better visualize voters' opinions
This sounds like a great idea! Let's see what happens :)
I think the biggest value here is for
Also the specifics of how you implement this "process" matter. If I understand correctly you are suggesting that:
Is there anything that you wish SN would do better for you to be able to do this?
Great questions, @nout!
As per the process, I agree it matters a lot and it's still not clear what's best..
We want to make it a smooth experience, that's why were thinking of Geyser creating the AMA thread, introducing the creators, educating creator about SN, helping them create an account, notifying them, etc. as you said.
With this approach, the problem is that we'll need to custody the funds, we can't FW sats directly via SN to the project@geyser.fund. Which, makes this approach quite poor UX.
The alternative is to use a ~geyser channel and allow the creators to craft the entire AMA themselves. This would be preferable for Geyser and the creators, as we don't need to manage funds. Geyser can support/guide creators on how to do it. The problem is the incoming funds would still be stuck in their SN wallet and not count towards their Geyser campaigns.
Geyser can help in marketing the AMA event across social media.

Yes, we'll probably do that. Just wanted to recognize that this will add value for both Geyser+SN!! :)
