Yeah the option feels just right, let the user decide and most will keep them on. The relay option I'm not sure either, problem is a client can choose to display or not what receives from the relay, no way to ensure the ad is actually seen ๐Ÿค”

Maybe just the fact that the relay is correctly resharing the ad every X events/time is enough as a service tho.

Idk Amethyst has exactly that model as far as I know, zap this release aka donation. I understand can be less scalable indeed but not every user will know how to fork or find the fork done by someone else and have to trust it.

But I understand your point yes, then allow users to enable/disable ads for support? That could be a midterm and many users won't even go settings and see it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Not that I hate ads, but if I can run my relay, clients are open source, I feel it a bit off to force ads but just my vision ofc, and bitcoin products/tech ads sounds good

Donations arenโ€™t scalable. Ads are a model that works and is scalable., theyโ€™re also very productive. The problem with ads has been the privacy aspect.
