Nostr Web Client

How are the bitcoin devs and FOSS Bitcoin wallet app devs getting cash flow???

Usually i see a note at the bottom of the app install page on F-Droid that says "buy me a coffee".

A few examples:

nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft charges for some of his suite of apps e.g. nsecbunker

nostr:npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz nostr wine is a subscription service paid relay

Nostr.build image hosting has a premium service

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s thus far receives one time donations, and plans to experiment with nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 subscriptions soon

What other ways are nostr apps monetizing?

Im just wondering how the ones who are not monetizing keep their apps alive without cashflow. Must be the passion alone.

I'm not trying to be unkind, but I guess my thought here is that as long as the nostr devs open soruce their apps, the community will then be free to jump in just like with linux or #FLOSS apps.

People will be more incentivized to invest in running relays, just like people run nodes on bitcoin.

If you make access a walled garden for only people who can pay, things get slippery quickly...

You are right to point out there is a lot of passion. This is required, and insufficient.

Open source does not mean free of charge.

Nostr is fortunate to have generous donors for the near term.

As foss users we can do our best to prompt devs to add easy subscription, purchase options, and reward monetarily whom we receive value from.

Forget about opensats and spiral.xyz.

We arent in this together. EveryOne need to steer his boat in the way he think is right. Does Nostr devs and "Freedom tech dev" let npubs go and move the way they want ?
