It's not a bad idea. I'd prefer to do a pleb raise though and give stackers something in return like equity/shares in SN though.
@metamik wen pleb raises?
Equity Pleb raises through Lightning Ventures is probably your best bet right now.
We decided to pass on the equity crowdfunding for now, it's too regulated and permissioned, and doesn't fully need/leverage bitcoin (for now). However, we're keeping a close eye on new exciting equity models like NostrRocket, that could disrupt how equity works from the bottom up.
As per the idea of using Geyser to help raise funds towards specific bounties, Geyser can provide the following value-added:
  • Contributors can fund with onchain and so potentially give substantially higher amounts than is usually held in lightning wallets.
  • Contributors can see their profile attached to the contributions and feel recognized for it (in SN it's all lumped together)
  • Contributions can happen directly form StackerNews
  • You can give away Nostr Badges or other perks/rewards to those who fund more than a certain amount
  • You can leverage donations from the bitcoin community on Geyser
  • Btw, Geyser is free to use if you use your own Node, we only take 2% if you connect a lightning address.
  • In both cases we generate a @geyser.fund ln address, meaning that you can get funded from anywhere and it would show in your Geyser project. We also support Zaps!
  • We have our weekly leaderboards, and can help promote SN even further (not that you guys need much promotion, as you have such a great brand + community)
Just some ideas! We love SN, and would be happy to partner <3
