Nostr-based litter collection rewards program for El Salvador
Sin Basura ("Without Trash") is a community-driven initiative that rewards people for collecting litter using Bitcoin Lightning payments via Nostr.
Collector picks up litter → Posts proof to Nostr → Local attester verifies → Collector receives sats
- Collectors gather rubbish and post photo proof with location to Nostr
- Attesters (local verifiers) confirm the collection in person
- Zaps are sent automatically to collectors (10,000 sats per verified bag)
- Donors contribute to the fund via Geyser or Nostr Zap Goals

|---|---|
| 1 bag verified | 10,000 sats |
