## Motivation
Spam in Nostr, particularly in comment sections, is a growing issue. Spammers can easily generate thousands of comments without cost, overwhelming users. While NIP-13 provides a Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism to mitigate spam, it has notable downsides:
While NIP-13 provides a Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism to mitigate spam, it has notable downsides:
1. Spammers with access to dedicated PoW miners can bypass this barrier easily.
2. Honest users, particularly those with low-end devices or mobile phones, may find PoW too resource-intensive, leading to drained batteries or slowed performance.
This proposal seeks to create a more equitable and flexible spam prevention mechanism by requiring small Bitcoin payments (sats) to post comments.

## Specification

### 1. The Writer's Requirement for Zaps
A user posting a note can include a tag to specify that comments on their note require a zap (a small Bitcoin payment) to be accepted. This is done by adding a `require-zap` tag to their note:

The writer may choose to refund the zap by sending the same amount back via a new zap event, this time connecting the previous zap event with an `e` tag. a `zap-refund` tag is added to distinguish it from a normal zap.

### 5. Relay & Client interactions
## Client Interactions
Clients `SHOULD`:
- Display an indicator when a note requires a zap for comments.
- Help the user pay the zap invoice and create the zap request event.
- Show whether a comment zap has been refunded or not.
- Help the commenter create a zap request event and pay the zap invoice.
- Help the note owner (writer) to pay back Zaps for Comments easily.
- Show whether a zap comment has been paid back or not.
Relays:
## Relay Interactions
To mitigate spamming further, relays `MAY` ignore and refuse to propagate non-zapped comments, i.e zap receipt events.
To mitigate spamming further, relays `MAY` ignore and refuse to propagate non-zapped comments, i.e zap receipt events. They can also apply different strategies like returning a `NOTICE` message for the first time receiving a non-zapped comment and ignore following ones.

### 6. Flexibility in Usage
## Flexibility in Usage
Writers have full control over the zap amount required for comments, providing flexibility to adjust based on the volume of spam they encounter. If a writer continues to receive spam, they can increase the zap amount. Writers can also decrease the zap amount for more legitimate engagement.
