Nostr Web Client

Nice feature! Is this a reoccurring monthly fee for storage used?

It’s priced at the BTC equivalent (live exchange rate at time of payment) of $0.05 USD per GB per month. So it costs 5 cents to store 1 GB for 1 month. Or 60 cents to store 1 GB for one year.

It’s like one of those pay as you go phones - there’s no automatically recurring charges. You just top it up with sats whenever you need to keep your balance positive. And you only get charged for whatever is currently hosted, so if you delete stuff that you don’t need to be hosted anymore that will extend your credit. Data transfer is free.

The reason it works like this is because it made the most sense to replicate the pricing structure of the underlying object storage (Cloudflare R2)

This is a really nice feature giving the user control of their media. I will continue to use 💯. Would be nice to integrate into Damus as a default selection for uploads, if this is even possible #[3] 🤔

If this were a default selection it would, for the sake of UX, need to come with some way of handling the fact that this is a paid service.

Also clients would need to handle signing an NIP-42 auth event because that's how Satellite authenticates each uploads (that's a big difference from nostr.build)

Otherwise it should be no problem to integrate with other clients. The server handles all the necessary NIP-94 hashing and returns those params to the client (sha256 hash, infohash, etc) which the client can *optionally* verify and sign.

Working right now to get the API docs ready.

I’ve been looking at R2. I’ll be a customer starting tomorrow.
