What do you think of paid nostr clients? Like if they charge a small fee per year to use? Was just thinking how could start to monetize what people are building client side. Be cool to incentivize clients that you want to see more of or features adopted into others.

I think people should tests all sorts of things. It may bake harder due to foss but not impossible. Maybe not paid for general access but pro tiers for sure!! Snort has a paid subscription already though it doesn’t auto renew yet
Interesting. Also brings up if a client could whitelist relays and people to make private clients. Idk if thats even possible but be interesting to see if thats possible too. Also is there anything that uses sats to auto renew without sending and paying an invoice? That might be something to look into.
Yes I think nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg lets you autorenew without manual action. Correct me if I’m wrong. I need to test again.
Yes indeed regarding forked clients. It’s very possible that there may be a model where you can just opt in or opt out of various features in the “parent” client. Basically whitelisted version of the client to fit a specific brand or requirements. This has been largely unexplored.
Very interesting. Makes me now think about a network of clients that use only a specific network of relays. This brings up the fact big companies could use nostr with more control, but also still have a thriving uncensored clients and relay pools. thanks for the replies!
