There are a number of ways to be paid as a freelancer / remote employee / vendor where you receive bitcoin.

All of those, which use the banking networks, require you to provide identity / KYC though.

The only KYC-Free method would be to get your employer to do the conversion on their end and send payment to you in bitcoin. There are invoicing tools for that if you want, like Blockonomics, BTCPayServer, SatSale, etc.

This is one of the areas where prepaid gift cards (e.g., Amazon, prepaid VISA/MC) have been used as a substitute for use of the banking networks, as the virtual card's code can be transferred directly to the freelancer / remote staff, regardless of their location. But converting prepaid gift card into bitcoin via P2P trading platforms is expensive, due to many of the cards traded being either fraudulently acquired, or where the seller spends the funds before the buyer redeems the card. The high price lets the practice continue, at a profit to the buyer, even with a relatively high rate of fraud occurring.

honestly why not just accept fiat and buy more BTC? Would most likely be an unnecessary headache for your employer.

It's a ridiculous amount of sats actually. ~jobs board really filling out.

Agreed.

I think it's an inheritance from the Hacker News inspiration. Hacker news has an ugly way of displaying posts/links as well.

I'd suggest folks try different things using comments and post content and see what works. If something works well, then it can be promoted to become first class feature...

I was talking to Roy at Breez about this. We have a GH issue for it. I got halfway through the process of doing it ... they require me to pass a JWT (auth token) via API and with the way I generate these currently it makes this very hard to do.

The sort of simple implementation of this is to have a "i don't like this" button and you have to pay at least 100 sats for clicking that button. And the sats go to the fund that's sent to everyone daily :)

Or are you thinking about something else?

This is a really interesting concept. It kind of fails if there's more than 1 bad thing though.

I kind of like the idea of that, only because it makes downvoting more expensive than upvoting.

Adding sats to all other posts on the same level, that don't have more stats than the comment you really don't like, until they are 1 sat above, leaving the unliked comment at the bottom, would be the way to do it.

But then what happens if you strongly dislike multiple comments on the same level? Gets even more tricky, doesn't it? Probably for the best that this is something you just get to do manually. :)

If you sell product with a gross margin of 15%, then you lose money giving more than maybe a 10% discount. If you are a freelancer, for example, you might still do fine giving a 40% or whatever discount if the client pays in bitcoin.

But not for every sale and forever, but as maybe a door opener.

Normal discount for bitcoin of 3% (around what fees exist for accepting credit / debit cards) or 5% even, might give customers incentive to pay in bitcoin.

If you still have bills in fiat, it would depend on your margin, service businesses maybe you can skimp on the labour costs, but I don't see why you can't just price in processing fees and reduce fees by that amount so you get the same income you just not passing on your banking fees to the bank

Just raise prices for fiat. You'll just help inflation move along faster. You can also run it as a promo for first time customers only, if that makes sense for your business.
