2. Unsolicited commercial advertising over lightning

It seems inevitable that lightning addresses will be scraped and compiled and used to send unsolicited messages (with a payment attached).

What are your thoughts about this? How should it be managed? What are the benefits/downsides?

Hey WoS, I’m fine with ads if I get free bitcoin 😂
TKay · 127w
I want to say yes. But does that mean i will be profiled in order to be targeted? Being bombarded with 1sat advertisements doesnt sound good.
Liberty Farmer · 127w
Free sats, never even need to look at the included memo.

Let us specify a min amount for lightning address receives and/or let us specify min amount for notifications
The: Daniel⚡️ · 127w
We get paid. We ignore the ads. Sounds like a win.
Geist · 127w
The benefits is it makes it costly to spam, a lot of people have proposed lightning payments as a spam filter for things like email, it rewards the end user for viewing advertising directly. The downsides, maybe there is some technical problem with consuming network bandwidth, but that just provides...

No complaints about free sats, except that I would like to be able to set a minimum threshold amount that someone can send me unsolicited, and a separate threshold for them being able to include a message.

If this means unsolicited commercial payments over lightning with advertising please use me for testing 🙏 I have no problem, I think notes can include a link and I can decide whether click on it or not.

User configurable minimum. Let them send ads if they're willing to pay what people require.
Justin_Tokyo · 127w
If the ads sender pay for it (or should I say reward the views), it’s better than spam because they actually consider your time to be worth paying for it. Slice does web browsing rewards already.

Inb4. I really love how exodus intergrates your wallet into theirs and "tie" it to the private key / bitcoin address. Probably you could add a non-custodial bitcoin & l-btc wallet using mnemonic phrase and tie it your custodian lightning wallet in the same manner as well.
makrokoppen · 127w
ads yeah if i can set a minimum ad fee 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sean · 127w
Is that why I’ve been getting free sats. 5 times now x by 1 sat. Keep them coming lol
Theory of Everything · 127w
Paywall to sort out bots. Potential single use invoice is a way around to mitigate, But paywall services also guarantee income for Wallet of Satoshi. At the same time it is pretty shitcoiny to let bots pay wallet of satoshi for advertising. That’s why I am here, To not have my data tracked and thi...

sent a minimum sats requirement
Astro☄ · 127w
No me molesta que me paguen por recibir mensajes de SPAM XD Si, ya los he recibido y no me molestan la verdad :v
BTC/Zero · 127w
Send me the SATs…I’ll happily ignore the ads for SATs
U · 127w
Hmm, maybe you could let users set a limit for the minimum amount of sats they want to receive at a time. Then merge all incoming zaps (below dust limit) into one zap until you reach the sats minimum. Then send the zap with "merged zap" as text message.
Mutant Overlord · 127w
ALL COOL
HORSEMAN · 127w
I don’t see a problem. Value for value- at least I get something out of it.
nout · 127w
Give me option to not see the messages and we are all good 👍
Rosanna · 127w
Por el momento no he recibido SPAM. Pero si me harán SPAM como la gente de Lavandos que me enviaron 18 USD solo por 1 mensaje SPAM ¡Bienvenidos!
Vyram Kraven · 127w
Allow the user to set a minimum payout. Second create a system that scrapes these advertisers. You know who they are sending the 1 sat payments & spamming advertisements on a massive scale inevitably. Create a fee for advertisers that goes directly to the sender in addition to their 1sat. I was won...

Survey with free bitcoin is welcomed. Phishing scams are not
superkruger · 127w
Being paid for your attention is likely a better experience than simply interrupting a service to highjack your attention.
Satoshi Fawkes · 127w
It's going to be tricky, if you set a minimum amount to receive will that lead to a need for a whitelist so people can contact you free?
LightningRoulette · 127w
We shouldn't stand in the way of commercial applications; particularly if it is optional to see the advert. "Receive 100 sats to see this ad" is an ok message I think particularly if you have time to kill, you ought to get paid for your time.
Kevin · 127w
The only problem with this, that I see at the moment, is that I would possibly get endless notifications from the wallet. So a customizable filter or threshold for notifications would be nice.
Zoltan ⚡️ · 127w
Send me all the notifications if watching them will be paid with sats. 🤙😂 Maybe a filter option to set a minimum sat amount. Just to make them bidding for the notifications... 😁
Bhodlr · 127w
Perhaps the ability to set our own sats price for unsolicited messages (i.e. from anyone not on my approved or following list) would be a start!
decentralizovaný jelen · 127w
How about minimum threshold 21 sats for payment? Or even better: payments below threshold will arrive, but message will be automatically removed.
KP 🧡⚡️ · 127w
Every sats counts. Send me sats all say - I will never get tired of receiving them - with or without messages. If it has sats attached - it is not spam (for me). 👍
KP 🧡⚡️ · 127w
Anyone who does not want to receive sats below a threshold....please forward/send them to me...I will take care of the sats gladly! To be clear --- all every sat with or without message is welcome! ⚡💜👍
Hobbit · 127w
If a threshold could be set, then anyone can decide the amount of notifications he is comfortable receiving. That could work,
monsieurenchilada · 127w
Under a threshold the user can set, hide the message and don't give it a notification. Set a sane value by default and offer the option of revealing the message by tapping on it in transactions list. Plus/or a Nostr integration where you can allow displaying messages for low sats values only for np...
