It only made me want to see it even more

Yep I have Primal's nsfw filter on too.

Not showing up as such on Primal.

This note has a content warning 👀

I don't see the content warning on Amethyst 👀

I don't think there is a breakthrough solution that makes everybody happy. In fact I think I can prove that no such solution exists, but I'll leave that proof as an exercise for the reader ;-)

I think we can go in many directions as once without damaging nostr or interoperability:

1. Some relays can block giftwraps.

2. Some relays will AUTH giftwraps and know who sent it (or at least who paid for it).

3. Some relays will have some out-of-band LN or e-cash like payment system for giftwraps.

4. Some relays can specialize in giftwraps, offering a paid service, where the recipient is charged (not the sender), storage is capped per user, and the recipient is responsible for cleaning out space if they get clogged with spam giftwraps.

5. Someone will setup a giftwrap mix network so that relays cannot know who wrote the giftwrap, because for some hyper-sensitive giftwraps, lives may be on the line and it is very important that the government cannot compel the relay operator to tell them who wrote it.

I don't think having all these options at the same time is a bad thing. I think it is a good thing. It is a competitive landscape. They all interoperate well by following the NIPs. And if they don't, we need to know that and modify the NIPs so that they will.

Zomg just saw stemstr on the featured page 🤯🤯🤯 is the creator a nostrich?

Doesn’t e-cash solve the issue of how to pay for private notes?

Some people don't like Blastr 🤣 I do. I think it serves a purpose. I see both sides of the argument here. Should every relay hold every note? No, I don't believe they should, however, we don't have these rebroadcasting models in every client nor do we have gossip on every client. Maybe Blastr is a stepping stone we use until Nostr moves beyond a major need for it?

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is super reluctant to monetize services and relays on #Nostr?

If we can’t make these things sustainable then we will either lose them, or they will stay nothing more than a weird little corner of the internet with lots of hope but no chance of ever scaling.

I still haven’t seen the basic model of zap sharing tried by any major client or relay. But I DO see regularly comments about how expensive relays are. I mean it might not work, but can’t we TRY it?

I want to make the distinction here too that this doesn’t mean we are closing off the network, we are adding permissions to the protocol, this doesn’t suggest at all to used closed source code, we simply need the services necessary to keep this ecosystem robust, to be profitable and have the resources to thrive. If they aren’t, then NONE of this works. Economics is everything.

I know building features is more exciting. I know we all want to make everything that we can free, and I agree all of the *code* should be shared. However, I think there is a natural insecurity (and I say this because I have this problem personally) with charging a fair price, and fearing criticism or the ire of people who believe everything should be free (as in price) when we need things to be free (as in Liberty). They are not the same, and confusing the two could stifle, or drastically slow down, the insane potential of this place.

TL;DR We have GOT to divert some energy to thinking about how to make this ecosystem sustainable, or we will lose it.

(Disclaimer: this isn’t a judgement on whoever is thinking about this problem. It just *seems* like few are. If you are building in this way please share your ideas or what you are trying. I’m extremely interested)
