Samourai-Wallet
Feature request: recurring payments
In the age of censorship all across the major payment solutions, Bitcoin becomes increasingly important and popular. But there is something we cannot do with BTC yet: sending recurring payments to creators. It would be very benefitial for the crypto community to have a Patreon like solution so that followers could support their favourite creators on a regular basis and comfortably.
Samourai could be the first wallet providing such functionality and thus becoming the go-to recommendation of creators looking for Bitcoin donations.
I think recurring payments should work with conventional addresses thus effectuating address reuse, although this should be discouraged and PayNyms encouraged.
We are currently working on a new functionality that could be used as a basis for developing recurring payments later on. It is an extension of our PayNym implementation (BIP47) and will be available in the next release.
I like the new PayNym features! Nice work! :+1: So can we expect recurring payments anytime soon? :)
Consider it a building block ;) We will integrate user feedback from this feature into our ongoing study of recurring payments.
