Have a look at npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz thread on how it works.
Yes, thanks for clarifying that!
All good, things are moving fast and I’m excited to see where you take it.
I agree that being on paid relay is a walled garden. However, I think anti spam solutions are evolving rapidly from developers. I’m using Nostr.wine relay which now allows me to broadcast out to the public relays and interact with friends who don’t use paid relay. This is a big improvement.
Introducing filter.nostr.wine from your favorite paid relay winos🍷. This is currently only available to members of the https://nostr.wine paid relay.
The purpose of this relay is to supplement users who want to use only paid relays with public relay data that is relevant to them or people close to them. In addition, the relay provides full coverage for profiles, note replies, and DMs outside of your paid relay network from our own public relay aggregator.
This relay also supports the option to broadcast (set to false by default) your events to the following public relays:
relay.damus.io
nos.lol
relay.current.fyi
relay.snort.social
brb.io (will be added when stable)
To use the relay with broadcasting add wss://filter.nostr.wine/YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true to your relay list. Be aware that some clients will strip this out and not work with this relay. Only paid nostr.wine member pubkeys will be accepted.
Now you can have all the reach of the largest public relays, full coverage of notes, profiles, and DMs without all the spam!
If you have any issues, feedback, or feature requests reach out to #[0] or me.
This rocks, my global is readable but I’m not cut off now. Thank you!
Who’d have guessed rats not being fans of rat poison?
This is a hard question for sure. The good news is each relay can run how it wants to. So how do you think it should run? Maximum freedom or moderate some of the things that take away from the user experience like bots?
Great advice!

Nostr.build to upload a picture that works here. Or grab the

Agreed, and the network effect is just beginning. I just learned how to zap yesterday. What new business or unbanked community will tap into this in the next year?
For me the people. We are heavily impacted by those closest to us. I’ve been highly fortunate.
Beautiful!
Paid
Looks like that worked.
Paid
It won’t let me pay.
Welcome!
