Elon putting out another Nostr ad! 😀

Where do I PayPal that too?

I think it's not a bad idea to discourage spam and fake account by making accounts costly.

The problem is that Musk wants $1, not because it changes his bottom line but because he wants the KYC which not only helps with bad actors but more importantly helps with targeted advertisement and now he can roll out payment solutions to all his known customers etc.

On nostr we could have proof of burn which is essentially the proof-of-work that already is being used but we could also turn this into "proof of supporting something that's probably not just your other pocket". I would give an ear to any account that zapped more than $10 to a project I care about in the last month. Each user might have a different list of causes and the causes and of course if I value the Snort nostr client, Kieran could spawn spam accounts that zap him but then that's my problem and not everybody's.

I would consider a ‘transaction’ tax that goes to the App developer I am using for access to Nostr.

So use would be free until I ‘chose’ to transact with someone.

Interested in thoughts. This is about longevity of the Nostr system and improvement in experience of the user.
