 Yeah Purse (https://purse.io/) by some bcashers but now that I check they pivoted to a "blockchain utility newsletter" lmao

In any case I want something more general and limited to my close trusted people

 I think it’s a REALLY challenging business model. Even more if you’re doing it as a VC funded public facing business.

Paxful does a lot of this type of thing too and is known as the go-to spot to swap stolen giftcards.

 I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "market". I'm only interested in my close connections knowing that I want something be paid with their cards, and give them sats (with a premium perhaps) for that

I don't even think it should be a VC funded business, just an open tool for coordination

 Oh ok, that's something different indeed. Cool.
Actually sounds like a feature for @OpenSecret  group chats 🤔

 Yeah I understand, I’m just giving some examples of businesses that were built around the concept and some of the challenges. Not saying that = what you have in mind. 

Nothing wrong with a small local coordination tool for just within your small group of friends.
