What doesn't work
The entire premise is based on your personal feeling, not on any evidence from actual users. You haven't validated the problem or the proposed payment method. You're solving a problem you invented.

You'll build a product that no one uses because the core assumption — that students are willing to jump through crypto hoops to pay for notes — is completely unproven. The friction of the solution is likely greater than the pain of the problem.
Why are you avoiding talking to potential users? What are you afraid they will tell you?
his is a solution in search of a problem. You have no market signal and are relying on personal intuition rather than evidence. Without validation from real students willing to pay, this is just a technical exercise.
You describe a minor inconvenience, not a real pain. The problem is undefined and you have zero evidence that it's urgent or that anyone would pay to solve it.
I understand what you want to build, but the 'why' is missing. Using crypto adds unnecessary complexity to a problem that has simpler, non-blockchain solutions.
You might be able to build the app, but you're demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of how to build a startup by skipping the most critical step: user validation.
There's no strategy here. You haven't even confirmed you have a single user, let alone a plan to acquire them.
This is a commodity idea. Anyone can create a marketplace for notes. The crypto element isn't a moat; it's a barrier to entry for your target users.
Zero validation. You explicitly admitted you haven't spoken to users about their willingness to use this. This is the definition of building in a vacuum.
