We’ve been thinking about the best sustainable subscription model for filter.nostr.wine (and our other upcoming features + additional relays) while still keeping nostr.wine accessible with only a one-time payment.

Haven’t built anything yet, but here’s what we came up with:

- Same one-time admission fee for nostr.wine (18888) sats gets you write access to nostr.wine and 1 month of access to filter.nostr.wine (+ others)

- After the first month included, filter.nostr.wine will require an ongoing monthly fee (amount tbd). You will receive a DM with a link to add time to your account in advance of its expiration.

- On the website you will be able to choose the amount you want to pay (minimum 1 month fee). We will automatically convert this amount in to days of access.

- Purchases over 6 months will automatically have their time doubled (1 year+ is 50% off). Perhaps a lesser discount for 3+ months?

We are looking for feedback from the 🍷 squad. What do you think of this concept and what would you change?

Why r you charging extra for a filter? Does it cost more to run a server with filter? 18k is already pretty expensive without the monthly fees.

Yes, filter.nostr.wine is many times more expensive to run than nostr.wine due to its features.

Oh. Why is that?

Aggregating for large public relays is expensive, constantly updating our users follows and their follows is expensive, and our filtering process can be resource intensive if your network is large.
