does this make sense? an option for new users to watch a short sponsored video ad in exchange for a tiny top-up of BCH to their memo account - enough to be able to make several posts

Current plan is to seed new users with BCH but disable tipping or exporting keys until they fund their account. Still figuring out the details.

Seems like a great idea to me. Get people to do work for a bit of BCH. That or solving captchas/intelligence tests would be a good solution as well.

Hmm. I feel like watching an ad to get funded almost cheapens the UX of memo, it's reminiscent of those survey sites and the like.

Definitely agree. I think it would be better that a few satoshis from each action (post/like/etc), go to a "fund" that starts new users off

If your scheme is employed, any bad actor can monopolize the revenue sharing and take away from legitimate users while contributing to spam. Spotify has the same problem.

measures that could be put in place to prevent users creating multiple accounts. This would be nothing like Spotify.

"It" doesn't exist yet, so you'll have to clarify your proposal and how it solves digital identity :P may I suggest https://www.mttr.app/home for a longer format.

IP checks & cookie tracking are two widely known ways to prevent users from creating multiple accounts. Getting advanced would be to check user-agents, screen size, etc.

Im not making a story, so i dont need mttr.app. My point is if we "saved" a sat or two from each transaction, we would be able to provide new users with some sat to start.

I think this is challenging. The Bitcoin.com faucet had to be shut down because of abuse. The cat-and-mouse security model you propose is expensive and not convincing to me.

Also, not being able to withdraw the startup money would put a stop into anyone making multiple accounts, besides from maybe spam, which would be pointless.
replied 2254d
how would this be done? start up accounts have private keys under memo.cash control? or memo.cash wouldn't share the private key until some action is taken?
replied 2256d
When was it shut down? I just used the faucet the other day and it gave me more BCH than I'm proposing to give.

You would only receive 1 small payment when first registering (2000 bits, etc), and for such a small amount, it wouldn't be worth it to try to circumvent the basic...

No way, I do not consent to my money being redistributed in that way and I will certainly leave for a competitor if that is the case.
