zcash

Would love to see this UX feature in Zcash shielded wallets:

- as payer, scan a "payment request"-style QR code,
- see it has the "subscription" toggle on, at X zec / time-period,
- accept adding a user-selected title, sending first payment (w/ seller-chosen data in memo),
🧵

🛡 Shield all the things!

Focused on tech for increasing agency, consent, and connection.

- the main screen, or somewhere *prominent* tells me the countdown to the soonest subscription-due,
- I click that to see all subscriptions and can browse, cancel,
- I can click a "pay next iteration" button that goes to send screen pre-populated (incl. seller-chosen data).

Why would this be awesome?

- most of my personal online payments are subscriptions!
- most w/ cc: terrible privacy risk!
- subscriptions imply natural user retention/stickiness.
- I would subscribe to a chat forum of Zcash fans!

Example: a subscription for an account on a website could block the user when they log in with a "subscription is X days late..." dialog (or the web session might be read-only or some other down-grade for late/missing subscription).

This is all at the wallet/vendor layer, with no protocol changes to Zcash. It requires users to explicitly repay each payment period for a subscription.

So, vendors and wallet UX needs to help with early / late payments, etc...
