A web-based workflow for pre-paid vouchers
Milestone ID: 66
We believe there may be positive network effects that arise from letting one user pay for another user's use of the service. A technical user who understands the benefits of Private Storage over other cloud storage options may want to pay for the service for their less technically inclined family and friends. A user in a "safer" jurisdiction may want to pay for the service for an associate in a less safe jurisdiction.
The existing "voucher" system is almost satisfies these use-cases. It already divorces the financial transaction (currently always a Stripe-processed transaction) from the delivery of ZKAPs for storage-time authorization to a client. The only piece that is missing is a workflow where user A pays but user B redeems.
