 What if we made it so that you could require replies to include a trivial zap?

Fuck you, ReplyGuy bot 😘

 That's a solution that I'm not so opposed to 🤔 
 On that note... Has there ever been an Adam Back style email service? I.e. you need to send me 10k sats for your email to land in my inbox? Google wasn't particularly helpful 😅 
 That's what Earn was like for a while. I built my own though.

 hahaha maaaaate that takes me back 
 first impression i got from that visual was a mugshot wanted poster 
 Ultimately I think that's where it has to go; freedom ain't free after all.

This little nugget is on the house though. 🤣  
 This isn't a bad idea. Shit, I don't even need the zaps to come to me. I'll donate them. 
 They could also check follow lists and require the fee for sending to npubs that don't follow the sender. 
 what's this reply guy thing I keep hearing about? 
 Some kind of bot that just spam replies form loads of different npubs. Got me the other day and had to laboriously mute loads of accounts 😡 
 Indeed. 
 I think there should be a zap fee to post, and users should be able to set a zap fee to reply to their notes. Thoughts?? 
 Can't you do something like this with pow? 
 I think this is an excellent solution 💯

No zap on the note, no option for a reply 🤩 
 Now that push notifications are almost at the finish line, a ‘pay for my attention’ type feature might be interesting!

 Yes 
 Yeah, with NWC it could be seamless. It is a bit of a barrier for non bitcoiners, but it would help relays to be profitable. 
 Maybe could induce more adoption though 
 Game changer 
 Love it. Who is going to write the NIP for this?

Perhaps a bounty is in order? Make all of us who want this put our sats where our mouth is. 
 For over 2 years all comments on Fountain had a 10 sat fee and we never saw any spam. 
 source of problem?  weight of this solution?   make a list in the open/source       is this about Corn?
