 This is a Damus super power. Definitely use it. Spam almost becomes invisible. 

Yes you can see their notes, but you are not annoyed by them. nostr:note14dyyplavd999a7y7kunm6v57rl7reyhvaerscjpzmvu5dnamsnkq78hlu7 
 I could hug you 🥹🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 thank you 🙏🏽 ah man, it was so annoying. I couldn’t keep up with my notifications. Love Damus 😭🙏🏽 
 It’s so good i stopped muting. 

Enjoy 💜💜 
 Then you miss notifications from potential new frens though. I just removed all relays that weren’t blocking the spam notes.

 True. But this doesn’t happen much for me. 
 There’s always awesome people out there that you don’t know about interacting with your content 
 yeah thats why i usually have friend filter off unless theres a storm of dicks in my notifications 
 I took your advice. Paid a lot of sats for this setup. 😞 if I see one spam you owe me 🤣 
 Bruh you’ve been using Nostr this whole time without nostr.wine? 😂 
 Yes. 😅 
 You have just leveled up 😂🚀 
 Some spam notes are still making it through, but I am not sure where from. Is there a way to know which relays are those events coming from? Im guessing it’s the Damus relay since it’s the only free one? 
 Damus is a public relay, spammers can still send notes 6 times every minute. If you *never* want to see spam the best option is likely all paid relays, but that will be a bubble.

Ive talked about an option before where you can have a global switch that turns off non-paid relays across the entire UI, lots of things we can still do. Hardest thing is to make it intuitive for users. 
 Yeah, it gets to a point where it stops making sense. Like if I’m only on paid relays, the people i follow may not be. I’ll start blocking my self from seeing the people I follow. 

I think a global friends/friends of friends (2nd/3rd degree) filter is actually better than a global paid relay filter. 

Im not really annoyed of seeing the spam, but I’m now really curious on what is the most optimal solution. 
 wss://nostr.wine is a comfy bubble. 
 You can use nak to check if a note is on a relay. nostr.band relay is also free.

 In the trenches of TradFi, I’m learning that almost all of finance today is a convoluted mix of statistics and accounting.

Very, very little first principle thinking or macro analysis. Plug numbers into model, receive output; rinse and repeat.
