101 sats \ 3 replies \ @grgr 6 Oct 2022 \ on: Gift sats without losing them ✨ bitcoin
I would use such a product. A few years ago I wanted to gift some sats to my brother, who is not a techie, let alone a coiner. The best thing with which I was able to execute it and actually transfer ownership without him having a wallet at the ready (when gift was given) seemd to be opendime. Of course teaching him how the use the sats from that had quite a learning curve. What you describe is what I was searching for at the time, but could not find anything that would be simple enough and aimed at nocoiners.
You mean gifting them (physically passing) a hardware wallet such as OD with sats pre-loaded?
I like the out-of-box thinking, but I think scalability is an issue, and hardware cost could be another.

It’s also been my experience, I’ve gifted two open dimes with a big QR Code so they can scan and see their balance but I know that once they want to withdraw those Sats I will need to sit down and explain how this all works.
The goal on this project would be to simplify it as much possible that’s why im thinking just have them claim with a phone number without having to set a wallet just yet, but the real work comes in trying to educate and onboard them after they have claimed the tip.
A lot of the times you need to guide the user with real-life examples of what they can do with those Sats, the onboarding could have tutorials on where to spend them, how to save them to your own wallet or even how to donate them to someone else.
All of this with the safety net that if I’m gifting let’s say 100k Sats to someone I feel safe that either they have taken the initiative to learn more and understand on their own or if not I will get those 100k Sats back to my wallet.
Thanks for your input and validating that this is something you were looking for at some point. 😃
