I have some elementary stuff on
which bridges to

The general idea is that I can get folks from TikTok onto nostr/cashu in super plain language like “create account with username only” and “deposit with cash app”
And then from there cashu helps me monetize the user experience where I can essentially create scholarships with learning.
Still a lot of work to do with that though, it’s a very naive implementation
woops that’s https://program-ai.app

That sounds exciting! Can you elaborate on how you would use Cashu to monetize? Users keep their balance in ecash and send you some for providing the service?
Yeah, it was pretty much inspired by the cash taps that Board Walk Cash implemented and zaps on nostr.
Basically you can create cashu tokens based on significant events, like watch time on educational videos or answering questions correctly.
Long term this would all kind of happen in the background so that schools can connect classrooms together. It would require implementing wallets more thoroughly so that folks have better control over payment flows.
Right now what I have is a super naive and pretty constrained prototype of the idea.
I came up with the idea while studying math in school and feeling like an enormous amount of social work was being done in the act of studying math, but there was nothing to represent that besides some obscure transcript. One way to encourage good quality education is just to add more meaningful consequence to the act of learning, but that's only one of many things required to motivate students.
Cashu works great for this because the onboarding experience is basically seamless. Most young Americans are already pretty savvy with Cash App and are eager to see more use cases with Cash App's Bitcoin environment. I was always more or less looking for that one thing that made it easy for folks to essentially embed cash app into app experiences as a result.
