I heard that Lightning, internally within the network, can define down to .001 satoshi. 1/1000th of a sat.

If we could harness that resolution

If we could charge "sub sat" levels when assessing fees, the thought might become more acceptable. You are paying, but nothing to speak of. Maybe a tenth of a sat.

See, the problem for me would be is paying a sat for a notification that I had been zapped 1 sat!

I actually get 1 sat zaps from time to time. I like them.

Love this thought! The barrier to entry with these micro charges should be able to be as low as possible.

My main issue is spam shouldn’t be free. It seems like an issue that has a solution utilizing Bitcoin in one form or another

If you could knock down 90% of the spam w/ a fee, I think that's the fee you need to charge. Might have to experiment for a few months to find the pain points.

It would be a growing pain for users who are use to zero cost engagements, but I believe it ultimately is a net good because it changes our behavior due to a physical cost tied to our actions. It will pay to be a good actor and hurt to be a bad actor.

You are in a way using Bitcoin to protect and moderate your experience with others. They are doing the same.

Also I believe this is core of what Lowery was talking about. I know he gets a lot of hate, but I believe this is the way forward. Not the right or wrong way. It’s just the way that will happen.

Again, just my thoughts. I could be 100% wrong and off base due to my lack of knowledge.

Zero thought to the privacy nightmare of tying your Nose pubkey to another database with each payment

Correct. I don’t know how this impact privacy, or the impact that could have.
