Donate4.Fun - donate anyone with Lightning
Hello there! We are excited about Value4Value economy and people ability to directly support content creators instead of watching ads or locking to a platform and it's donation rules.
In the future we expect that every author would have a lightning address, but now it's only a marginal minority who actually have one. Some authors use on-chain addresses to accept donations, but this is not a user-friendly way to donate - one needs to copy the address, open his wallet, confirm the transaction, etc.
On the other side, while there are not so many creators that do accept Bitcoin Lightning donations, there are also so little people who has Lightning wallet and ready to spend his satoshis.
To solve this chicken-and-egg problem we are making a browser extension that allows you to donate anyone using Bitcoin Lightning even if he has no Lightning address or even a wallet. It works like a virtual locker box - you lock your satoshis to a creator account so that he can withdraw his funds if he verifies that he owns the account. It currently works for YouTube, but we have plans to integrate Twitter, Medium, Telegram, GitHub, and any other service that allows account ownership verification (almost any content platform suits).
We already have a working extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, support for Safari is planned.
We are looking for early adopters who are willing to provide us with valuable feedback, spread the word about Donate4.Fun.
