My dad asked me (retired, mid 60's) how to get more sparks into his @zora account to buy more coins... There are many ways to get sparks into that Zora wallet if you understand the systems at play. What I don't see yet is an easy to use on ramp/off ramp directly on Zora's phone app. I hope that is coming, and I think there should be a standalone option, one not relying on having any other account. Obviously, the coinbase ramp can be an option, but why not an ACH linked account direct to Zora? Fiat to sparks in one step through the phone app would be the goal without having to go anywhere else. If that's not possible - then the on/off ramp setup to centralized exchange should be able to be setup 100% through Zora. Just my two cents, or should I say my 111 sparks... If I am missing something, feel free to let me know - if you hit deposit in the current phone app, the options now are linking other wallets, which he does not have and has little interest in getting them at the moment. So my option at the moment is set him up on a centralized exchange and teach him to transfer base eth to that wallet. This is less than ideal for that generation, yeh that one, the one sitting on $80 Trillion, or half of all household wealth in the United States of Boomer. @jacob

We had one when we were NFT based but when we moved to coins we had to migrate to a new one. It’s on the to do list since it’s very painful currently.

🫡 Understood. I'm so glad that is on the teams radar. Thanks for your response, Jacob. That generation is both The Holy Grail and The Immovable Object. Very receptive to the double tap, support a creator, and leave a comment process. That was the easy bit. Even the creator coins and the relationship between Zora, creator coin, and individual post coins - not so bad. It was just the "Now how do I get these dang sparks" bit. I should be thanking you, though. You have provided quite the opportunity to upcharge the older crowd in my new job as a Spark Dealer. Don't worry, I got what you need, Pops... ✨️💊 🤣😂🤣
