By this, a majority of zaps cost more to process in LN fees, server load and human time than they are worth. View quoted note →

Most zaps are pointless

True unlimited data plans (no “throttling after X GB”) are amazing

Please tell me what your main concerns with Nostr relays are, especially in terms of privacy.

Corporate “Bitcoin” events are a waste of time

No motive, monetary cost, and easily blocked. What is the point?! View quoted note →

I wonder who is paying for all the tokens to run these slopbots?

Slop will not be tolerated

A pay per use model would significantly enshittify paid relays, lead to horrible UX and allow tons of spam: 1. It would lead to unpredictable charges for users. A fixed fee per month/year means the relay just works. 2. The cost acts as a bond for spam and abuse, compared to pay-per-note. 3. It is incompatible with services like aggr.nostr.land and NIP-05 where there is no “usage”. 4. It would allow a monetary DoS for services like inbox relays, where someone can spam you with junk giftwraps. 5. Users should not need to worry about constantly having a topped up wallet and using a supported client.

CLINK or whatever this protocol is, is worse than NWC. What is the point?

Code is a liability, to some extent. Each feature and line incurs a maintenance cost. Less code is better. View quoted note →

Code has always been cheap. You don’t need an LLM to generate slop. For me, nothing has changed

Anthropic has released a new money-incinerator that predicts probabilities better than the previous money-incinerator and also incinerates your money faster

I am considering requiring NIP-42 authentication for a majority of event writes. It would prevent random rebroadcasts where it is not desired and allow for better spam filtering, so why not?
