I agree about the subscription fatigue. If there was a place to paste a renewable NWC connection string would you use it for a relay? I see coinos can support this.. I may attempt to implement this in the future, though it still depends on the friction of the users having to sign into, or paste their pubkey into my client to manage their subscription, they're viewing from another client and have no interest in that nor are even shown the landing page or etc.
What is the problem you're having? Is the payment not working?

Yeah it would be good to have some sort of standard so clients could show payment options from within their interface.
I am not very found of NWC into relays because of the not so subtle “commitment” to a specific set of relays.
If we think about nostr as a p2p protocol (because permissionless npubs and such), relays should be “mere concierges”, so maybe the client should arrange relay payments in the background for the user instead (you already have a wallet setup for sending zaps after all).
As for nostr21, I had some heisenbugs but the payment went through. Turns out it was showing me the wrong relay url in some places of the UI: wss://nostr21.nostr21.com instead of just wss://nostr21.com.
ah, yes, i need to fix the url, whoops.
i agree, the nwc seems a bit hard to implement and to use. and im hesitant to spend so much time on an implementation if it wont be used.
