Every filmmaker submits a Lightning address with their film. When a commission settles, the ranked votes will get tallied into percentages and one payment per filmmaker will go out. At some point the commissioners will be able to make these payments directly (we&#39;re not set up for that yet), and eventually the goal is automated many-to-many settlement: multiple patrons each paying every filmmaker their vote share at once, with nobody custodying anything in between.<br/><br/>Since doesn&#39;t exist yet, we&#39;re writing it up as an open problem, along with two others (a pledge that locks without custody, a vote count a stranger can check), in a protocol spec Ordain will publish later this summer. 2026-07-21T13:25:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr4y9zvtrvx6p2n6zcy4wmux6h2557fgw35ezcpdmzaphy3wd5shczyqrjq42jxgj9cegn273ksqca2nyluknf9j3lw8esp27x3sgug4xnvaz0n98 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszdj68rmc5ectk36826ylpmgx2j6ekgdh05ay8e35h9agw8mdrkps58tacy'>nevent1q…tacy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ordain today is a hand-run proof of concept: the commissioner pays the creator directly, wallet to wallet, and Ordain holds nothing.
