What if we make a new tag for notes called zap_required or something? When a user posts a note, they can request a minimum zap amount in order to reply on the note. When rendering the note, clients can filter out any replies that haven’t zapped the OP the minimum requested amount. nostr:note16p2f5mhtal7lped259rrtzp09dy7aew22j4kkzzfxxl4qejdqcvq3q5d72

i like this idea
I like it. But apple will want their third, and the IRS will want there third. So we can call it “The little zap that lives down the lane”
To be honest, I don’t mind both Apple and the IRS getting their third just so long as I don’t get spammed.
Or pow_required.
A list of requirements, either pow or zap or follow, or a combination.
I have such a love/hate relationship with ideas like this 😂
On Nostr it doesn’t really matter cause you can always use a client that doesn’t support the thing you don’t like
Yeah, I know. It just gets that much more complicated for new people who aren't already into btc. For me personally, it's an amazing idea though 😅
They will take the orange pill and the will like it 😂
Clients could turn off the reply filtering by default. That way it’s opt in.
💯 with some sort of indicator on pfp or something so people don't think they're replies are being seen when they're not.
It would be a client specific setting. So other people wouldn’t know what you have it set to. There’s no reason for people to know how you choose to view content on Nostr.
Overkill imo. Could be a new feat, similar to "only the ones who I follow can reply" it would be nice to have but for spam like replyguy it would be tideous to zap every note. Paid or whitelisting relays are the solution imo, pay once and that's it, minimal to no spam in the relay.
Your client could auto-zap it when replying if you have a built in ecash wallet or NWC set up. nostr:npub1h0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qnsrwx8 charges you 1 sat to send a DM and it seems to work great. I’ve only sent a couple messages though.
If you only read from paid relays, you’ll miss out on all the notes from people that can’t afford to pay for the relay. Paying 1 sat to post a reply is much more manageable than paying 50k sats upfront for a relay.
Both nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 and nostr:npub1h0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qnsrwx8 have built in ecash wallets. I’m sure we’ll see more clients add built in ecash wallets.
Doesn't need to be 50k to prevent spam even 5k sats would probably be enough, a spammer could spend 50k or even more to spam in a single relay, but then all the bots would be banned after a short time and he would have to spend again. I would see a zap to reply as a way to prevent troll comments and I think it would be a cool feat, as long as we have options we will use them the best way.
I just threw out 50k cause that’s how much I thought nostr.wine was. I just checked and current price is 18,888. I’ve happily paid for nostr.wine, but I still read from free relays cause I know many people can’t afford to pay for nostr.wine and I still want to read their notes.
