Idea:

What if you could set a price to have someone you weren’t following, and who wasn’t in your social circle, to be able to put their post in your feed? Obviously with options to filter as you saw fit, but simply a way to have people reach you if they wanted to expand their network and visibility.


It would essentially be boosting except you aren’t paying a centralized platform, you are paying the people directly to accept it. Similar to “zapvertising,” except not in a zap message or DMs, just to cross into their line of sight while on Nostr 🤔

Good idea, bad idea? Discuss…

It would probably help newbies grow an audience, which is frustrating. Been active here for months. My comments get likes, zaps and positive comments from the posters and others. I post interesting things, but still under 20 followers, some bots, so I feel like no one sees my posts. Maybe I don't ...

HODL tried this. He whored himself out. Think it was successful

This could be even a NIP, where the target account holder gets notified about both content and price bid and the protocol intermediates the back and forth agreement between final price and content to be published, until the point of pay and release. It gets corny on relays that honor deletion, lol.

Why pay though? If you found their content wouldn’t you share it anyway? We need better discovery of new users I think that doesn’t involve paying to play. It’s an interesting idea but has a bit of a dirty feel to it.

Interesting idea. Might be a bear to implement, though, and it would have to be implemented by the majority of clients in order to be useful. Otherwise, users might pay to have their note put into nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx's feed, is a feature that a few c...

But why would you pay to insert in their feed instead of just DMing or mentioning them? It would only be useful if they explicitly say that they read all paid posts, but at that point they might as well just make a pay to DM feature.

one could put a price but then not see anything

Everyone here is discussing whether this is a good or bad idea, but I’m wondering if it’s even possible. I don’t think advertising really works without centralization. On decentralized protocols, advertisers have no knowledge or control of the advertisee’s client software, which could simply...

I like it, there are many ways to monetise your digital identity, this is one of them

Placing a financial burden on someone to initiate contact makes sense. I see this as a solution to spam. If you are in my circle we can interact freely. If not you pay a small fee that I can choose. I think this could be applied to all forms of communication: mail, email, phone too

I like it Kind of similar to what Vida have created Ie your create a paywall for your time and attention via Nostr
