See, that's one of the most important aspects of learning about hard money systems that we really need to come to grips with. Nothing is EVER free. There is always a cost, and what we have to do is make the choice of who pays that cost. If someone steps up and says that they are willing to shoulder that burden, that's great. But if they stay hidden and eventually realize that they are unable to continue, they can either ask for help or just shut down what they have been doing without notice.

There's no reason for either of those two choices if they stand up and tell us "this is what I'm doing, this is what it costs". We have the option to help pay those costs, and I would hazard a guess that MOST people on Nostr would be willing to kick in a few zaps if they knew they were making a difference and helping to pay the costs of what keeps our communications system up and running.
