Accountless Transactions

[mktcode]

The idea came up that we can let GitHub users interact with Octobay even without having an Ethereum account at all. So as a further escalation of the concept of gasless transactions, we can introduce "accountless transactions".

Let's say I (having an Ethereum account) use Octobay to send funds to a GitHub user. So these funds are stored in our contract then, together with the ID of that GitHub user. Instead of withdrawing those funds, this user can move them to another GitHub account by proving ownership over the current GitHub account to one of our oracles or realyers by transmitting an access token and a new GitHub user ID. The oracle/relayer updates the ID in the contract and takes from the deposit to cover gas costs.

A gasless transaction basically means the user proves ownership over an Ethereum account without sending an actual transaction. An accountless transaction would just mean the user proves ownership over some other platform account.

The big question is: Does the world need that?

For example:

This functionality would than only require being connected to GitHub.
