IDEA: secret santa/giftexchange application.
A minimum fixed amount of dollars worth the gift
(Example: Tier 1: 0-5$, Tier 2: 10-20$, Tier 3: 50$, NOT INCLUDING THE INDIVIDUAL SHIPPING COSTS )
Participants enter by staking an equivalent value amount of millix to their tier
(Example: Tier 1 0-5$ participant stakes 37,313,432 Millix at current price etc.)
The staked amount serves as an insurance to other participants in case they dont get a gift (someone tries to cheat etc.)
Participants get matched by tiers but randomly
( Person A sends gift to Person B who sends gift to Person C who sends gift to Person D who sends gift to Person A, etc.)
If youve sent your gift, you can insert the shipping number into the app and it gets shown to the recipient only. Tracking number serves as proof of sending and is crucial to get your staked amount back. The receiver has to post proof of receiving the gift aswell to get the sender his amount back aswell as his own. Basically an interdependent trust system were both parties document it. Cases of errors via postal services can be resolved by providing proofs (screenshots, emails) handed in to some community trusted volunteers.
In the application: participants can enter their adress information (private adress or P.O. Box), a list of things they wish for and a list of things they definitly dont want/are allergic to. Also they can add extra info regarding packing or special customs information.
Matchmaking would be done via the application either on a specific given date or if enough participants have joined the pool. All information would be within the app and each giftee would only receive the information of the person they send to. Any personal information or posts about matches on tangled are prohibited and lead to disqualification. The culprits staked amount would be shared equally among the other participants.
What do you think? In any case it can't be 100% foolproof but i think this narrows the risk down by quite a bit. Do you have suggestions? Would you take part in something like this?

Interesting idea. Honestly feeling excited by dreaming Millix into real utility and community building.

Definitely count me in! Staking Millix as escrow is a brilliant idea, a couple of quick thoughts: adding shipping zone filters -domestic/worldwide-and a digital gift option -like NFTs,vouchers,gift cards- could make participation even smoother. Also happy to lend a hand on the dev side if needed. Excited for this 🤗

Oh thats good, yes different zones makes it easier for people. Digital gifts optional is nice aswell. I was planning to feed this to gemini and see what it comes up with as i have no coding knowledge so any help is greatly appreciated. I guess best would be to upload the beta on github so you and

Theres already some resources i could use... https://github.com/search?q=secret+santa&type=repositories
I haven't checked the repos in detail yet, but I'll go through them, they will definitely give us a great head start. For the Millix escrow mechanism,
I like this idea. I always have. It brings community together. Unfortunately- i don't know how many people would be willing to participate but you can definitely count me in. I'm happy to assist on the app dev as well. I know this is something you've been wanting to do for a very long time. I think it's very much worth it to try it out!

Well, ill see how many reactions and likes this will get. I dont know how well implemented this can be on this site or if the app has to be on its own website (signup/login via api?). But if at least 10-20 people voice their interest this could be worthwhile already
