So I missed out on the tournament but...
Hoping that building this solution out in the open will help me get off my ass and actually create something. More importantly, help me to learn how to ask for help when I need it!
So here we go!
I'm building a lightning enabled remittance solution for the Caribbean.
The scope will begin with just Jamaica, and will target local remittance businesses.
At first it might be just another remittance brand on the window of the local shop...
The branding and colors are already done, but lots more marketing content needs to be created. It would be cool to have some content on the level of the keet.io team - their marketing stuff ROCKS.
Front-end and UI/UX is a fork in the road.. the choices are: build from scratch using progressive web app development or use existing wire-frames (bitcoin design guide team or others?). I'm leaning towards just building it myself from scratch, see how far I can get.
Back-end is more straight forward. I want to connect with a liquidity provider, so the MVP would potentially be a custodial solution for end users. Since the initial use case is for end users to replace remittance, most end users will be cashing out, thus will not be holding bitcoin.
I do want the users to have an option of moving that bitcoin to a non-custodial wallet, maybe a collab with an existing wallet or just another tab inside the flash application.
CALL TO ACTION: connect with me if you are interested in helping build this with me! (sorry, its not part of the tournament, but you can still win the joy of building with me!)
I got a bunch of legal blah blah stuff to take care of, so that's all for now!
