One idea I've had for awhile but couldn't thinking a good implementation is a solution to deliveries. I was reminded of this idea based on yesterday's review or 's AtoB service. A problem that was discussed on is giving your address to a total stranger. This is a very real concern, not just for this service, but any service for delivery. What if there was a network of "AnonBoxes" (NymBoxes, NostrBoxes, Nosboxes, Boxstrs; whatever you wanna call it) where local #plebs accept packages at their home or business.

There are a lot of issues to consider, but I think it could be 100% doable. You go to a site, put in a zip or geohash, see a list of registered "boxes". You pay a small fee. The real address is shown and you give your npub and maybe the name it will be delivered under. You order what you need to. Put in the delivery address. Once delivered, you pick up the package and sign for the delivery with your nsec. The funds are then released to the box holder.

For those out there who #buildnostr, do you think it would be a net positive to have some kind of platform available for people who can't code (me) but have great ideas on how to build the #secondrealm with #nostr to post really cool concepts that devs can be inspired by?

I ask because I have quite a few ideas for services that could serve the #paralleleconomy that I just don't have the chops to build. I'd love to have a place where I could toss the idea out there and let the #cypherpunk #nostriches have a field day. It could even be incentive based where people can throw some sats at the project to incentivise a dev or dev team to grab it.

For example, a #pleb has an idea for an app that would solve problem x. They post it in this repository. Other #plebs see it. They throw some #sats at the ideas they like or want to see. Devs can see projects and take them on. Upon completion, they get the sats. Just an idea. An idea which would be great to post in said repository.

Am I makin' sense?
