Replying to Avatar nostr.build

A Saturday morning confession.

I am not in sales. I actually really despise the traditional salesman techniques.

I don’t like to ‘shill’ products, I’ve always believed if the product is awesome, people will hear about it and it will sell itself.

I’ve been feeling like a shiller of nostr.build accounts for a while now, and this was never my intention on nostr. I always just wanted to shitpost and help grow the nostr community.

With that said, media is very expensive to host and manage, and nostr.build now hosts ~80%+ of nostr medi (1.5mil files /1.1TB and growing). The best way I can continue to help support nostr is to keep nostr.build strong. To do this I have to shill accounts since it is our only income..

We do have some killer features that I’m really excited about, so that makes it easier.

Please know, I just want to be a normal nostr and Bitcoin psychopath 💜

No need to apologize. You’re providing a valuable service and should get paid.

We are not getting paid yet (spending anything for personal), but we are able to cover core costs, including CDN, hosting, AI image generator, etc.

We also need a little backup for bandwidth spikes, new features (currently working on an AI tagging and search), and emergency..
