Nostr Web Client

Follower only have meaning if you know where they're coming from.

- no one is interested in followers if they are fake or bots;

- maybe you are a local pizza shop in Italy so you only care about followers from your town and you won't care if you have a million followers from Colombia, even if they are actual real people;

- a popular polemic public figure may have a ton of followers, but it might be useful to know which of these are sympathetic to their opinions and which ones are just following them for the outrage;

- insert other example here: ____________

Since I believe custom relays are the best way to segregate people (either by natural or by abstract communities, and of course for filtering outright sybil or spam) I also think NIP-45 HyperLogLog addition can fix that by pushing clients to rely on these aggregated counts merged from multiple relay sets instead of trusting one big centralized aggregator:

Has anyone considered implementing paywalls for all activities on Nostr?

I believe that for anything to have real value and meaning, there should be some cost or proof-of-work involved.

It could all be optional if clients could filter out free content from paid activities.

Want to follow someone? Follow for free, or Zap follow. Users could set different tiers and prices for followers.

Want to post a note? Publish for free or publish with Sat rewards. The more Sats, the more it gets relayed…anyone reposting it could even add more Sats.

Want to reply? Reply for free or zap to reply.

Want to DM someone? DM for free and hope they’ll read, or Zap DM.

Want your client to filter out valueless content from paid content? Zap to subscribe.
