I've made this other relay now: https://zapbox.fiatjaf.com/
First you have to set up a zap threshold, afterwards anything you publish there will only be shown to people who have zapped you at least that threshold in the past 3 months.
All the rest is the same as a Lockbox:

Please find the bugs for me. I'm very new to this zap stuff.
Also it works with NIP-61 nutzaps, but that part is very untested.
maybe 1k is too high...
create a zap threshold of x amount.
offer a prize of 10x amount in claimable #cashu tokens.
anyone who has zapped you x amount is eligible to see the 10x cashu token, whenever it is that you randomly drop it.
as long as you have more than 10 "subscribers", you're in the black, and you've created a fun game that one person gets to win.
Is there a self hosted version of this?
Really cool. This zapbox relay can work really well as a "Patreon style" reserved area for subscribers, without the hassle of managing a monthly payment. You can also have more zabox relays with different thresholds, and users will automatically fetch notes for their tier.
I assume it works. Apparently, I'd need to zap more to really know.
The stats are really cool.
One thing I'm seeing that might be tricky to resolve is when people use private zaps, each zap is counted as a separate user.
is rebroadcasting events to other relays a concern? does that undermine the paywall?
Exactly, that is the idea.
Maybe the relay could return an explicative note (every 24 hours) when the user queries a specific author but the threshold is insufficient, so he is alerted, can zap him and access again the content.
A nice variant of the relay could be use its pubkey as zap target, and allow reading all notes from authors that have write access. This would work well for a team (e.g. a magazine, a project, etc).
The problem is that if you're querying a specific author then the relay can't return a note from someone else, that will be discarded automatically.
I like the idea of relays as zap targets. That fixes a lot of things. Would be nice to have that built in clients somehow.
Well, that's kind of Barry's job to tell their subscribers, at least that's how it works in the current world.
You're asking for too much.
But for people that want to zap privately we can just have a very web2.0 webpage where you can go and pay directly and that gets computed by the relay and you get access, should be simple to do.
There is a link to source code on the page, it's
`go build && ./zapbox`

Decentralized GitHub alternative over Nostr
I would be very very curious to know what's in that box!
like closed/paid telegram groups but out in the open 👀
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
genius
Haha! Sorry, I didn't really mean it as an ask. Just observation.
That seems like it would work, sort mixing what the wine creatr relay does and this. That would make relay management & advertising that much easier for the content creator too.
Why do you think that?
This will be so great for Nostr OnlyFans. Yeoman’s work jaf
You are right, a note by the relay could be filtered out if the client enforce the the REQ filter on the results. Maybe it's a job for the NOTICE response, is it currently used somehow?
I was expecting a trollish answer.
