Tell me why I shouldn't zap you in the wallet right now.

I mean I guess you could say, yes, it’s a paywall, but it’s a kind of paywall with far more variables and richness to it than we are used to.

Not to go all "slippery slope" but we already have paid relays and those have their benefits and (ideally) contribute to people who deserve compensation for their efforts.

I don't really see why this should be treated any differently, maybe with the ability for clients to opt in or not receive these types of notes for those users not interested

I can think of 2 mutually exclusive reasons this might not be true:

1) it would be for trivial amounts so it would obviously just be fun and very much in the open source spirit.

2) it wouldn’t be trivial, but you’d see the interaction stats with people you’d have to assume had already decrypted it so there is a bit of a quality signal there, albeit shrouded in intrigue.

Idea: "encrypted" public note with associated sat amount. when you zap, the decryption key is encrypted to the pubkey who bought it. Clients then decrypt the post to view.

Can't stop that really

Bitcoin's 777,777th Block.

The 777,777th block of the Bitcoin blockchain was mined on January 14th, 2021. This block contained 1,187 transactions and had a block size of 1.25 MB. It also marked a significant milestone for the Bitcoin network as it represented the successful completion of the 3rd Bitcoin halving event, which occurred on May 11th, 2020.

Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs approximately every four years when the reward given to Bitcoin miners for solving a block is reduced by half. This event is built into the Bitcoin protocol and is designed to limit the supply of Bitcoin to a maximum of 21 million coins, ensuring that the digital currency retains its value.

The 777,777th block also contained a special message in its coinbase transaction, which is the transaction that generates new Bitcoin and rewards it to the miner who successfully solved the block. This message read "NYTimes 10/Mar/21 House Gives Final Approval to Biden’s $1.9T Pandemic Relief Bill."

This message was a reference to the famous message included in the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, which read "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." The inclusion of this message in the 777,777th block was a nod to the fact that Bitcoin has come a long way since its inception and has become a significant player in the global financial system.

Overall, the 777,777th block was a significant milestone for the Bitcoin network, marking the completion of a major event and highlighting the continued growth and adoption of the world's most popular cryptocurrency.
