Hi all,
in my wider circle of acquaintances someone sent me a call for donations for a young family with a few weeks old baby girl. They had a cruel stroke of fate. The father died in a car accident (proven no fault of his own).
The brother of the dead guy opened a call on gofundme.com.
What is quite easy to use (via paypal). You can even choose to have very small amounts and 0 fees (for gofundme).
But this process needs a lot of middlemen
You->Bank->Paypal->gofundme->donate requestor->donate receiver
And gofundme is financed by donations only.
So I am wondering if nostr/BTC/lightning won’t be a better way for such calls.
What if I want to open a donation call for them via nostr? What would be the best approach to reduce middlemen, required trust and fees?
(They are nocoiners/ precoiners)
