comes from us for now. in the future we will offer merchants optional premium paid features to drive Bitcoin sales. we will fund the rewards with that revenue.
We compare a receiving pubkey against our database of merchant pubkeys to determine if spend qualifies for rewards. If the receiver pubkey matches then we credit the spend, if it doesn’t we do nothing.
Yes your Spark address is known to us. That is where we issue the rewards when we payout. Your Spark wallet works like an account. We don’t collect any emails or personal data.
Thank you for the criticism and concern. I definitely am always looking to improve. If you have a better design in mind please share.
Ideally: to not reverse dox your merchants, hash the list entries.
The log message back, its a bit broad. Ideally its a zero knowledge proof and a clear amount, but that's hard and not mature yet. For now, I'd just make sure that its encrypted and strip any data that you don't need. (After all, everything you don't know is something you're not liable for and cannot get subpoenaed for.)
That's something that ultimately you just want to disclose in docs / faqs. Just be precise about what you keep and why. This is the business in the end.
Where does the reward money come from?

Okay. Are you aware that your backend is harvesting counterparty pubkeys, over an authenticated connection that leaks a spark address identifier on every payment (before the transaction is even executed)?
Or, without getting into the code: did you know your app introduces full surveillance of sender->recipient relations?

Sync a list of merchants to the app, do the comparison locally.
I’ll start working on this today.
In the event of a match any concerns with how we log the reward spend?

Is this using spark?
we provide a Spark wallet so that if you do not have a node you can still participate but you can connect any Lightning node or any wallet via NWC.
ahhh NWC!
I already have tons of bitcoin wallets. What makes this app different?
You earn Sats when you spend Bitcoin with merchants. We have other cool features but that’s probably the most unique one.
