Since I'll only use L1, gotta resist the urge to mentally check out whenever I see Lightning/L2/zaps/sats, but... I thought of a similar program but inverted? People can get paid BTC in advance to drop their recycling in public & post a location photo, so whoever picks the recycling up can cash in at the minimum fixed per-pound rates set by the state. P.S. While I pick up neighborhood litter, on average every week it's not big bags' worth. I just separate the organics/recycling/textiles/trash & stuff that could be recycled but is excluded as such from municipal bin collection. I almost always fit the week's littered trash into my partly-filled kitchen trash bag & that's all the municipal collectors get in that bin (which has way too large a capacity for almost everyone, who got it by default/opt-out).

Hi Alwin, I have a deep believe in nostr and zaps... I'm curious, why you'll only use L1?πŸ™πŸ§‘ I'm currently only sharing this project with nostr users and real people in my circle... Perhaps this could be shared on X and run on paypal too... But I don't like it a all... As you lose the censorship resistance, permissionless... And just in case you wanted to support the projectπŸ˜… and only if you found friction in doing so, here's an on-chain addressπŸ™πŸ§‘ bc1p65lpxys0a9vy7zxxd6k544v2jw8g6qtr8uvgxxx52n7uwn0u0tdqk0lahv image
tl;dr L1 allows me to be effectively self-sovereign for free One of the biggest value propositions for me has always been that I can put 1 of my bitcoin addresses out in public & not need any technology or a third-party provider (nightmare nightmare nightmare!) for fund management between the time it's generated & the time it's spent from. So, I use L1 exclusively. P.S. I feel like I'm probably doing more than my part for society already & any recyclables I cash in don't really even the karmic balance. In addition to my litter collection I described above, I'm also hunting/killing cockroaches in the street around midnight (first spotted this month), reporting vandalism, bulky illegal dumping, discharge of pollutants into storm water drains, stolen shopping carts, dead animals that may need testing for zoonoses, trespassers encamping on private property, moving reusable illegally-dumped items to better locations & putting them on Craigslist free... overwhelming trying to remember everything from on patrol. My city has a public reports website where everyone can see things everyone else reported (except 911 calls & some other exceptions), and it's rare that I see anyone else had reported something in my immediate neighborhood. I also have email alerts set on Craigslist & I almost never see neighbors posting their stuff as curb alerts, they just curb it & skip the alert.
TY for the answer, precious information! πŸ™πŸ§‘ I think the problem today is the have the thought but they take no action, so nothing changes. TY for taking the action! My goal with my projects is that they replicate, and that copies improve and outperform me... Its a long way but for me a cool adventure and experiment,🧑⚑
