Hi, Bitcoiners I am working a new way to gift bitcoin to no-coiners. I have come up with a landing page so far:
https://www.giftbitcoin.app/Problem:
The current ways to gift bitcoin are not great. They either require kyc or the gift recipient to download a wallet.
Solution:
I am prototyping a web app that lets a gifter load btc into a local-browser based wallet and send the gift recipient a digital giftcard that lets them then redeem the bitcoin. They would then be able to setup a wallet (if they wish) , buy an amazon giftcard, swap for another crypto etc. It would be a browser based wallet so I will be able to walk the user through whatever they choose to do with the btc with the gui.
My goal is to be the
easiest way to gift btc without app download or kyc causing friction in the process.
How You Can Help:
I have done research into past examples of non-custodial bitcoin gifting apps, but I wasn't able to find any. If y'all know of any I would love to hear about them. I would also love to hear any feedback, questions, or concerns about my idea that you have. Thank you for taking the time to read my project announcement.
