Nostr Web Client

How does a relay force a client to show an ad? How do you know that a client actually shows the ad instead of lying?

I think the incentives here are tricky. In your definition, you assume a client and a relay have a trusted relationship to prevent malice.

This is more suited on a client and user relation. Relays need a different approach imo

thank you for your thoughts, it was a quick and rough idea. I don't have the technical background and surely can't figure out the details.

i don't think there is some kind of force needed. the relay returns every now and then an ad into the stream and the user has the incentive to "earn" some sats for watching and maybe even support the relay operator by splitting.

of course there will be clients that are AD free, no matter what an relay is returning. or you have a client side setting the user can use to hide ADs (see screenshot).
