Hi, how do I got about building a school rewards system, online homework platform and parent engagement app through Nostr? A place which is closed to the school only and let’s students be rewarded in zaps by the teacher and creates a mini economy of zaps through students zapping each other as rewards. This would also include a rolling live leaderboard.

that's a pretty cool idea;

you'll probably need to hire a dev to do it, I don't think there's anything out there like that yet, but it should be fairly straightforward

Do you know any Dev’s I can hire? Thanks

not yet, most Nostr devs are crazy busy with so much stuff needing to be built, but I have an upwork-style on nostr marketplace in the works

keep writing and pitching your idea here in Nostr; someone will pick it up and work on it

or you can post it on bountsr.org and see if there's any taker 😉

Ok will do. Thanks for the advice because I just had no idea how I would start that up. I will post it today and hopefully it sounds interesting to someone.

yeah, the most important part is pitching it here, until someone who's interested sees it 😉

Would this only be linked to its own relay so it can maintain the right content? Or connected to the wider public one as well.

I’m assuming everyone would need to be verified with that relay as to not send back spam accounts or random comments from other people?

Yes because it would be really important to safeguard the students and the relay would need not to be secure. At the same time these students have instagram, snap etc so..

that's the scenario I have in mind for similar niche-tools

local relay

whitelisted pubkeys that could be whitelisted by the UI out of band

All the kids would also be Bitcoiners when they grow up

This is the main idea. Then I could roll it out in other schools after mine.

where are you based?

Liverpool UK. Already have a Nostr after school club. Early days with it though.

probably, that's why I like it 😀

Doesn’t have to be limited to schools does it? If you have a solid architecture it could be used for many more use cases Id think!

niche launches tend to be better: focus product and marketing in one area instead of trying to go after the world

Agree. But with that in mind it would be easier to scale later on wouldnt it? I am not a coder

It should be yes, I think the students would absolutely go for this. I get asked questions everyday about bitcoin.

do it! this one is not hard, just needs someone to sit down and write it

if you have funds/funding post a juicy bounty and it'll get taken up for sure

What’s a ball park bounty for this do you think.

50M sats would get picked up I reckon

Brilliant, would ideally fund part of this so a zap raiser would be beautiful.

you can also do a zapraiser to get funds for this bounty; pitch the link to bitcoin adoption at a grassroots, etc

I think the students would do this themselves 😃

someone needs to spearhead it though 😉

Hi, do you think this is something a wallet creator would like to be involved in.

Imagine how their engagement in class would go through the roof if they would get zapped everytime they gave a correct answer 🤯

And if other students zapped each other for helping explain work or creating content live in class

yup!

💯 startup 101

yup

It really doesn’t. I think that’s the beauty of it. I just really like the idea of it creating a generation of bitcoiners and the teachers will also be orange pilled as well as parents. Would need to go full time rolling it out to schools I imagine.

I really like the idea 👍🏻 great potential
