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 🤔

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 😂

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

I mean it doesn't by default even if under a Tor hidden service as far as I know, in case you wanted to keep it private and no IP leaks
