Posta 0.8 Is live!

Say hello to Funded Postas
A new feature on Posta! You can now create a posta and download a signed request to ask another human to post it on your behalf. This is useful for users that dont have enough to pay for the transaction fees.
This was based on a feature request by @Nachobr . He was looking for a way to have someone else pay for the fees to create his posta.
This is how it works:
- Human 1 types the Posta.
- Clicks on the new button “Sign Post Request”
- Sign the request
- Download the signed request (text file)
- Human 1 Sends the file to the human willing to pay for the fees (Human 2)
- Human 2 logs into posta, and clicks on the top right button “Post on behalf of”
- A popup appears that asks to locate the signed file on their device. Select the file
- Click on “Post on behalf of”.
- Confirm the transaction on the wallet
- The posta is now published forever on Posta, published by HUMAN 2, with HUMAN 1 as the author and owner of the NFT
Future improvements:
- When a user posts on behalf of another, an event is emited with this information. This will allow to implement bagdes, or other kind of metrics to know when post was funded by another human, and by which human.
- An interesting concept to look into would be to ask the author to pay for the post request, with UBIs. This UBIs could either be given to the funder, burn them, or both (just like the “support” feature).
