This is now live. Not going to lie, a bit disappointed so many of you thought it was ok to do this without paying.

What exactly were people doing?
Using other people’s pubkeys (who are paying users) to view filter through their lens. It can be a cool experience and I get the appeal, but not cool for people to use it without paying.
Moreover some people decided it would be ok to use open 5 filter.nostr.wine connections simultaneously with different users pubkeys.
Mistakes happen and those users can get right back in without issue. What I am seeing is NOT mistakes.

weird. i do know i accidentally rolled a new privkey a couple times . glad they're locked out tho!
I will say, some interfaces like Damus make it really easy to add relays from other people’s profiles. It IS possible people added them without really knowing what they were doing or the implications. Hopefully authentication will just totally solve this problem for you all!
Ouch! That's really rotten! The amount of work you put into this is amazing and you are hardly asking for anything!
more likely a mistake, imo. juggling npubs and nsecs isn't easy for people.
Disappointing
what about using someone else’s filter as a paid user? i’ve had a few people that didn’t get the bit about replacing the npub and it may be a noob mistake
Whatever can be abused will be abused on the internet. Imagine creating a magic internet money with economic incentives to exploit in the billions... makes you appreciate everyone that works on those protocols, thinking about every crazy way to exploit.
Good work and good riddance.
Sorry to hear that Mazin, hopefully they know whatever they have done and never repeat those kind of action again
🧐really hmmmm. I have paid actually you paid for me….
