Hmm true, good point. We could advertise it separately as an ongoing giveaway. Just not sure how to not get exploited by spammers.
Your idea would be more suited for offering bonus months to already paying members. That could be done automatically/randomly but we’d risk giving away months to inactive users.
The only other option would be to have human intervention to vet the pubkey, which sounds like a lot of work. This did make me think it's not very hard to pay for subs for other people.
Gifting someone's pubkey a subscription might even be fun and a way to greet new people on Nostr who come in with interesting content.
It is a great way and I did it a bunch of it in the earliest nostr.wine days. I think that will continue to happen with this awesome community. It just doesn’t scale if someone wanted to donate 1M sats or something.
Oh I definitely agree, I just can't think of a simple way on your end to prevent it going to spammers either. That does seem a non-trivial task.
Yeah it would be great if this kind of gifting could be as easy as Zapping
