quoting nevent1q…vrw7Regardless of whether anyone will use it it has to be tried anyway. It's our duty.
Instead of attaching cashu whatever I think it's better to just allow people to buy "credits" first, then use those slowly when publishing.
There are many interesting variants of this idea that I have been planning to work on but couldn't get to them yet. Would be nice if someone else tried.
Today I completely solved nostr's spam problem. The link below is a demo web client and relay you can try out — a pay-per-reply concept where posting a comment costs you 1 sat.

This page is a plain nostr client (it follows the outbox model properly) that shows the 5 most recent notes from one hardcoded account. That account has exactly one inbox relay, and that relay charges.
Connect NWC and you can actually leave a comment, paying 1 sat for it. No login — comments are signed with a throwaway key. It uses ecash, so you need to top up 100 sats to start, but once you're done testing you can sweep the whole balance back to your own lightning address (2 sat fee).
If NWC supported keysend, no top-up would be needed and this could be genuinely pay-per-reply. But it doesn't, so there's no one-way push payment — doing it over lightning would take two round trips, which is why it's ecash instead.
I’m not a professional relay operator, and the relay isn’t optimized, so the connection may be somewhat unstable. Thank you for your understanding.
