I understand the incentive structure, but how can I be certain that you're not taking the $10 AND selling my data?
Yes they are, if you know how to use them (can definitely run them through proxies). But they're financed with the privacy of other people and I hate that model so I don't want to feed it.
LN payments are awesome, thanks for that.
What I meant by no 'free' ones, is that there is always currency involved - either your money (eg Kagi) or your data/privacy/attention (eg. most legacy search engines).

Because the moment something like that leaked, our business would be dead. This is what alignment of incentives means.

I hope I am not coming as dismissive. If you have a concrete issue you want to raise I suggest using https://kagifeedback.org to bring our attention to it, this is the main way our users raise various issues with us.

Yes, I got the impression that you assume you have the privacy aspect all sorted out.
There's a huge difference between WON'T RUG and CAN'T RUG.
In an adversarial scenario, let's assume you do keep all searches linked to a token. If for whatever reason my token was associated to my identity then you could deanonymize me.

Again - thanks for what you're doing and I hope this has been constructive feedback you can take from here.

And allow logging in with nostr or LNURLauth on Kagi itself. @vladquant, you could use stacker news' integration of these for an idea of how it could be done.
