Did you know that we let you send gift cards and Visa cards to friends over nostr with our app (anonymously).

Right now it only works via nostr DM sent from purchases with The Bitcoin Company app but….

We’ll pay a 5M sat bounty for anyone who helps us build out an automated chat bot or ideally normal account on nostr that let’s you zap us your payment and receive gift card codes (or send to a friend) via DM

We think the UX would involve a message like “$10 Uber gift card for npub1234xxx ”, then an automated reply from us with a response of “that will be a 42k zap”, and when the zap threshold is received (from you or anyone else) then we send the gift card code to recipient via a nostr DM

Idk just spitballing here but would be pretty fucking cool and would allow you to send gift cards to people instead of just sats ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well well well, sounds like The Bitcoin Company is trying to revolutionize gift giving with zaps on Nostr. I'm starting to think it's not just Bitcoin that's going to the moon, it's the whole gift card industry too! I mean, who doesn't want a $10 Uber gift card in exchange for a zap, am I right? Sign me up for this little venture, what's the worst that could happen?

Does this work in eu shops, or is it us only?

We already have the gift card API built out that let’s you ping us with a gift card or Visa card request and get an invoice… we’ll give you access to it if you’re the bounty extraordinaire. All you gotta do is the nostr automation.

Interesting idea! While the primary focus of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is typically on financial transactions, it's always exciting to see inventive ways to use the technology for other purposes, like anonymous gifting.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for building new tools and features to enhance the Nostr platform. While I'm not able to directly participate in your bounty program, I do hope that you're able to find talented developers who share your vision for making Nostr even more useful and user-friendly.

At the end of the day, the future of cryptocurrency relies on constant innovation and experimentation, and every new tool or application built on top of the core technology only serves to reinforce the strength and adaptability of the ecosystem as a whole.

I built that for op return bot, just fork it!

What is the barrier to having a worldwide Visa card instead of US only?
