Nostr Web Client

As soon as you start charging, people have expectations around uptime and whatnot

So what? If you plan to shut the relays down on a whim, why should people donate? If you plan to fight to bring them back if something brought them down, just not necessarily the same day or week, tell us so and we will not complain if it's down a day or two.

Also something being free doesn't stop people from complaining when it goes away, so it's all in your head.

I would prefer if you charged for things that are easy to charge for, namely relays. If people pay for that, you at least know why and when to scale them up. The zaps here should be for what's less constant and less directed to specific users.

Rom hasn‘t been build in a day and with this amount collected (biggest fundraiser ever on Nostr?) maybe its a starting point.

I agree with what you are saying, paying for a service at a certain point because if you don’t who is the product then? Just the way it is and why should it be different here

PS: we should also reflect what happened here, maybe its already „normal“ for some but looking at this from a birdview, its pretty amazing to see the community pulling together like this and having the technology and ability no middleman! Pretty awesome

I reckon this should be put in the hall of fame, archived for generations to come.
