If Blossom really serves a technological purpose, as a faster big-data host than BitTorrent - then it needs a better funding model.

Content contributors shouldn't be expected to pay for a chance to enter in the internet's attention contest. I don't think nostr will ever beat giants like YouTube that way.

If we need something more expensive than BitTorrent, then we can use advertisers to fund it, like YouTube does.

If we don't want to use ads, the other option I see is tip-based funding. Content creators and nostr apps could encourage users to tip the blossom servers they use.

A new nostr feature could automatically pool tips and split them according to agreed/standardized percentages, between the creator of a file, the poster you're seeing it from, and the blossom server you're loading it from.

We need something like wavlake but with BitTorrent and maybe soulseek/Blossom integration, no centralized backend.

Blossom needs BitTorrent integration. In addition to [server]/[file-hash].[extension] we need a format like [subdomain].[server]/[file-hash].[extension] that shows the file's info, including an infohash for downloading the file over BitTorrent.

We need something like plebs.app that works properly and is inviting for new users, not just nostr veterans. That will also need BitTorrent integration.

Aside from OP_RETURN bots etc, it would be cool to have nostr relay servers that can be directly reached in more different ways (like OP_RETURN)
