How much funding have you received so far ?

150,000 from opensats which I split with nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 , so that comes to 75,000 a year, or about a 2.6x pay decrease, my expenses are up 2-2.5x to run servers and flying around doing nostr promotion at conferences which I won’t be able to do this year. Squeezing by… 😅
How many users do you think would convert to a $5 monthly subscription model from the current users base?
10,000 active users, maybe optimistically 50% damus users. If 1% of users buy a subscription at 6.99 a month, thats $350 a month?
Yeah, I see your point. Numbers are numbers.
But isn’t this unfortunately also true for zap splits?
Zap splits scales with economic activity, so then I would be incentivized to increase commerce on nostr, which would create a feedback cycle. Thats the only thing I can think of that would scale well.
💯 it's the only way to monetize and compete with ad revenue giants. Appl really kneecapped you on that one 😭
nostrdb/damus android/nostr phone, let's goo. Don't spend your savings too much my friend. Cut your expenses, pivot, force push 💪 a year is a really decent runway, but without zaps and splits it's a quicksand pit.
Took me a while to understand that the numbers quoted are dollars not sats.
Looks like even "Opensats" has adopted my currency of choice. Way to go mates.
