Is there a way to confirm if youve paid for nostr.wine?

Try putting your npub into the website again! It won’t let you pay twice.

One more question. Are there any additional privacy concerns related to using your filter?

Hmmm in what way? You’re exposing your IP to our filter relay the same as you would be to any other relay.

Same is true about your requests and events. If anything, using fewer relays (particularly a broadcast/proxy relay) is better than more relays in terms of privacy, but nothing on nostr is private.

That makes sense, thanks. Im just a pleb trying to understand if there are any downsides to filters.

I gotchu.

The risk/downside to using less relays is that either I stop broadcasting your events without telling you, or I stop serving you the events/replace them with something else.

The good news about nostr is you can verify what the filter does as much and as often as you would like.

You can query other relays to see if we are indeed broadcasting your events there. You can also follow our requests methodology and verify that you’re receiving the events you expect from our relay list.

Ultimately everything is verifiable because the data is all public. It is up to each individual user to decide how much to trust and how much to verify :)

That's helpful. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I also noticed turning off global for damus relay dramatically improved global feed.

Probably obvious to everyone reading this lol
