Replying to Avatar Ross Ulbricht

Been reading up on the nostr protocol and comparing it to the DSP I wrote about in 2021. Many of the details seem to have been worked out brilliantly, but one thing that worries me is the reliance on volunteer nodes.

It would be nice if there was a business model for nodes and node competition at the protocol level.

As it is, I wonder if nostr can scale.

Valid concern, but it seems to me that a protocol that has micro-payments built into it should be able to solve this problem better than most.

Maybe if Bitcoin continues to rally in a timely manner, then that solves the money problem, and then that solves the scaling problem. That guy Michael Saylor who’s been hoarding all the bitcoin (jk) could just donate a few millions or billions to Nostr.
