Replying to Invisible hands

An idea is to use #nostrscript and the user can program whatever he wants. I'd it's not possible, maybe the user could just have a settings/spam Filter and tweak the parameters himself. Factors to take into consideration could be:

-#of people who I follow that follow the person

-#of people who I follow that blocked the person (maybe even per reason)

-in case i really Trust someones judgment I could also say: block whatever this persons also block (or block as his blocks, but only on reasons x, y,z)

I'm exploring filtering on the relay so I have to be somewhat less strict than what individuals might want to filter. Ultimately, if the Pessimism spam bot wants me to relay their spam, I want to offer that service, too, for a price. I don't see relays as providing access to subscribers. Clients should still filter as needed but until I figured out how to price repetitive messages every minute, I'd rather block them.

What about charging by kB or megabyte sent to your server? Like a prepaid plan.

You can set the price by seeing how much the server costs you monthly and how much MB was processed by you, divide it and put your profit on top

I want to run the relay with this and much more. Currently, relays have a extremely primitive price structure. All paid relays charge a flat rate for getting white-listed to send events to that relay. Anybody can download these events a million times for free.

I'm working on a relay that keeps track of all resource usage attributed to pubkeys.

Another idea: your server has user crated spam lists that anyone can follow. Good spam lists will many many followers, bad soam lists will have less followers
