The UK has gone through something like this. I went from 2% to 5% earlier this year.

I disagree with this, I mean you can donate to the creator of Lemmy using crypto if you wanted.

It’s cool though, it appears that this is a really unwelcome suggestion here 😅

That mean that user AND server administrator will control user wallet.

Well, if this were the case I guess it’s not a great idea at all!

I’m no authority on this subject. It’s just the first instance of federation I read about before Limmey etc.

I believe there would be some integration from Limmey, to generate the keypair along with the user account. It could be up to 3rd party apps if they if they wanted to utilise this and allow for account management from the app. Or none at all and Lemmy could just allow for exporting your private key to use elsewhere.

As for why, I guess you don’t have a great rationale. It just seems like a progression to me. If people are communicating with each other in this manner, why not allow for payment. A person could always share a public key, PayPal or bank details if they wished. This way would just be undoubtedly linked to the person you were considering paying.

That’s fair. Although I think it could be implemented without effecting your Lemmy experience. It would just allow people to send payment to a person’s federated account. Collecting or transfering this payment could be done “off-app” through conventional wallet apps.

It would just be a means of sending/recieving payments from your account.
