Do you know anyone who is thinking about adding this?
Not yet.. If someone does Please tag him so we can zap him 🙏🤙🍀💜
Okay, because I had an idea... I was trying to think of a way that didn't require both the receiver AND the sender to have the client that had support for requiring a dm fee. Only the receiver needs to have the client that support paid dms if you do it like this I think.
-sender using any client sends mail to me
-since his npub isn't on my whitelist, my client autoreplies via DM with a lightning invoice set to whatever fee I set it at.
-he pays invoice
-my client let's me view message
Since on his end, it's all happening through DMs, it should work no matter what he uses.
Trying to explain nostr’s value proposition to my 17 year old son, and the example of college recruiters paying him for his attention instead of advertisers was a huge breakthrough!
Lots to build.
Dating apps was another use case that made it clear how the nostr model improves incentives, privacy, and can defeat lying and scamming.
