Actually, I don't know. Probably to incentivize the use of hints. I need to check better.
I use Njump to create the nevents with hints for me 😂
Why? Which is the use case?
My app Quotestr doesn’t support using hex IDs. I use zap receipt hex IDs on Njump to look at zap receipt events to see if they seem legit. Then I copy the event with route hints that Njump creates and use it on Quotestr.
I see. Maybe you can create a simple command line tool to quey a large set of relays and create the nevent.
