 THE PLOT THICKENS

@elsat @danieldaquino @jb55 Has this been opened as an issue? Do you guys need a bounty to fix it? 
 Known issue. Bounties always help. https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/528 
 OK, I’ll read up on this a bit. Can you describe what the fix would accomplish and how these notes would appear once implemented? Would Damus display them as true standalone notes with the quoted note positioned underneath? 
 The fix would make Damus display and post quoted notes (i.e. event mentions) and replies to threads consistently with the other clients per the NIP-10 preferred spec.

Yes, in theory, Damus would be able to display a true standalone note with the quoted note positioned underneath. A note like that would have a single “e” tag with the “mention” marker. It would not have any “e” tags with “root” or “reply”. 
 I’m in for 50K sats to get this prioritized. 
 Always appreciate a bounty as an incentive and signal to the devs how important an issue is.

For context we have had 6 and 7 digit sats bounties open for over half a year. 
 I’m not bankrolled like that. I guess just keep it in the mix until it can be done, but it’s a core part of the UX and I think not should be a priority fix. 
 Just setting your expectations. Not asking for anything. Appreciate your continuous feedback 🤝 
 Why is no one claiming them or contributing?? I’d like to look at what i can do - 
 Yo @jack you wanna get in on this big bounty?

 yuh. maybe jack will do it. 
 I still think q is cleaner. When using e tags and markers clients are forced to pull down quotes when pulling the thread, which is a waste of bandwidth. 
 But yes we can filter them out using markers, but clients should be doing the right thing here and not wasting peoples bandwidth by using q tags 
 Oh, I never thought of it that way. That’s a good point. Has anyone proposed this as an amendment to NIP-18? 
 Yeah it will be pretty important for popular posts. No i don’t think it has been proposed yet. 
 I was already in the middle of cleaning up the language in that NIP and others that relate to event mentioning and referencing. I’ll take a stab at it. 
 Rise up q bros 
 Instead of q tags, just send the event ID to a proprietary cloud service and make it create a screenshot of the post, which you then upload as an image to nostr.build and insert the URL into the content with a giant hash and no imeta tag. Problem solved.
