This would be great for me.

Im thinking more SUPER simple for a child. 3-15yo. Visually dominant and tactile relative to their development.

Super basic payments capabilities. Ultra limited. Just the basics of using money. As simple as using coins.

Cool idea, could pay the allowance in sats. Basically the equiv of a kids piggy bank.

Easy enough to send money to, and for them to send sats, check their balance etc

Exactly where the idea began

Cool you’ve arrived at the thread on your own.

I feel like this idea is trying to break through

Nice!

Wonder if the solution is just taking something like seedsigner, and making a simplified version of the software it runs (bigger fonts, less options, different wording used)

Yeah could be! I’m just ideating rn.. trying to flesh it out..

hardware piggy bank and signer for kids

NOT a phone

Connects to mum or dad’s wallet or node… very simple send, receive, check balance functionality

Im liking this idea more and more
