good question haha. No idea, just people trying to redeem more than 1 receipt. So now I set super small limits. I thought the community was more dev oriented. my bad

It depends a lot on your app needs. Best one for me is Bubble, super powerful. Just they still don't have native mobile app export. But they will eventually.

Adalo for mobile apps, and also way easier to learn.

I teach how to create this bitcoin LN enabled apps, and also can do dev work if anyone needs.

yup ;)

As you say, exact ratios / amounts of rewards should be dynamic. An final business model is not clear.

It depends on what you mean by the word "developer".

Yes, I created that app by myself as well as other Bitcoin LN enabled apps like www.qfg.io . But I don't write code, I use APIs, no-code platforms and the likes to bring them to life.

Exactly. Most problems from rewards systems come from: Complex interoperability. Closed systems. Can't spend starbuck points in Target. Hard to manage double spend / usage of points. Hard to keep up (as a shopper) with 20 different programs. Hard to explain to the end user. Almost always worthless. Hard to transfer (in case of cash back)

All of those are fixed by btc over LN

yup.. this might be more focused on LATAM, since offline / cash purchases are still pretty big. So if we find a way to make it profitable, it could also onboard millions into the LN which is my ultimate purpose.

Funny, I gotta say, I did expect some abuse, but not this level, a single person trying to empty all of our funds, sad to realize that.

right... actually I have talked to Ian, amazing guy. I haven't been able to test their app because of my geolocation, but I remember it was kinda different? (beside the point that theirs is a fully made profesional system haha)

lol. You should call Bill Gates

As said above, it is not perfectly clear right now. At first it was just to prove that cool things can be created with bitcoin lightning and other tools.

The benefit for me is just having fun... jk (but also it is true), the idea is to polish the concept in order to be able to offer it as a service for specific merchants / stores, obvs it wont be always open to upload any receipt and grab sats, that is just a proof of concept.

Those merchants (sponsors) can then have value added services from this, like getting data from their offline customers or making them market research questions for a specific product based on their receipt in order to be able to withdraw sats.

As I said.. I am open to any ideas.

Yeah, that is the challenge, so mostly, for now it is open for most kinds of tickets, but we can close it down to only certain stores or merchants, and only open it if they decide to sponsor it.

We can improve a lot the product towards the merchant in terms of giving them back information about shoppers who otherwise they wouldn't have, since they are offline shoppers. They can then retarget, or we can gather more data prompting a market research question in order to claim the sats, etc.

Any ideas are welcomed.

Remember that I also teach people wit NO CODING SKILLS to create their own Bitcoin Lightning Apps. If anyone is interested, just ping me.

I perfectly get this, but I just don't see something replacing FB, IG or Twitter if it has "taxable event" issues for every engagement.

My point is more about the mass users, who might actually won't even know they are using btc.

Ha.. agree, yet, if you want to have mass adoption, this is not the fix. I would love to live in a world where "social media" is a Value4Value economy instead of an attention economy.

sure.. I mean other examples where people think might grow in a big scale.

Kinda.. they are a custom plugin / template developer for that platform (and some others), but as far as I know they are not the same company.

Either way, maybe they can create it as a custom project.

Thanks, actually I am using Bubble.io which is a big nocode platform.
