Nostr Web Client

Good morning. Once we better integrate Nostr Nests with Nostr, I suspect it's usage will drastically increase, especially once we integrate text chat and Zaps.

The last few nights we've been discussing different ways to monetize Nests so that it's able to pay for itself. Right now, it's fairly cheap to run Nests. As Nests grows in popularity, I'm suspecting this to cost several hundred dollars a month to run, if not much more.

We've discussed various solutions for this. Some of them are:

1) paying a Lightning invoice to start all Nests

2) free to start, pay after an hour

3) free for under 10 people, pay for larger Nests

What is fair? What are your thoughts? I appreciate all of your feedback.

If we should pay to enter the nest it has to be a very small payment like a few hundred sats.

Agree. Plus, I don't like the idea of charging listeners all that much. I think the creator and/or moderators should pay the most.

Only issue I have with the hour limit is people will just close the nest and restart to avoid the fee.

How would creators and/or moderators recoup the costs of initiating a nest? Or, would you see it as a means of building community/following for an individual or organization so it would be a cost they would be willing to incur to earn somewhere else?

They can get Zaps from the audience.

So free entry, and then zap for the content of the nest. I like it.

How about paying larger amount to start but getting refund at the end once time used and number of participants known?

That should cover running costs and be fairest i think.
