100 sats \ 3 replies \ @jk_14 OP 11 Nov 2022 \ parent \ on: I decided to offer tip in restaurants only via Lightning Network. bitcoin
For me that would be better scenario:
"Please scan this QR and all the info is there"
Maybe I'm only an old grumbler ;) - but no hassle with e-mail is really nice (please compare: https://ln.cash/ ).
I suppose every smartphone browser has history nowadays.
I completely get it and agree with you but you really have to put yourself in the shoes of someone that is first being introduced to bitcoin, where we are failing the most trying to orange pill 🍊💊 new users are expecting for them to either get it once they receive sats in their wallet or that they will have the initiative to go out of their way to start exploring and learning on their own, which some will but not a lot of them. And even then, as a new user where do you even start? By the time they start researching they'll end up getting sucked in shitcoinery land.
A lot of people have also pointed to how https://ln.cash/ does their tips which is an amazing way of doing it and effective if you're already a bitcoiner, but if you are not? Does it give me a recommended list of trusted LN Wallets? Do I have some curated educational material or guides or listings I can start exploring on my own?
I'll continue doing more user research as we go and will definitely report back, also I'd love for you to test the app one of these days when you want to tip a server and hear some feedback on your experience!
Thanks so much for opening up this discussion thread it really hones down 100% to what we're building and what we're trying to solve!✌🏼

my suggestion was to combine both ways - the link what complete newbie scan is your unique link, where he/she can:
-
claim the tip (and I would make e-mail feature optional only, because e-mail itself may cointain private data like surname, so there might be some discomfort for newbie here (it may even induce some RODO issues in EU)
-
get all educational information you mentioned, e.g. list of trusted wallets, usefull links etc
So newbie can chose between a "fast route" and "more advanced route", if only he/she has time for it.
Just my 2 sats ;)

P.S. I discovered rn RODO is an domestic acronym... international in EU is: GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
