I think we need to make it clear that Nostr is not a blockchain project with some speculative token. It is one of the things I say early on when describing Nostr. Sure Nostr supports micropayments with bitcoin lightning but it doesn’t use that to function. Lots of people use Nostr without any connected wallet.

Tell me more about your Nostr journalism project.

I started porting a little Mastodon project that was a Nuzzel for Mastodon https://readily.news Sends a daily digest of links shared.

But for Nostr it seems like it makes more sense to put the data on a relay and make it a special purpose client. Almost there. Maybe have something in a week or so

So, something like designating a specific news source as a node that people can subscribe to, with the authors publishing to that node and thus distributed out to subscribers. Giving the community the ability to pay the authors directly with zaps, no middle man.

Was going to bootstrap with web links but ideally yeah, eventually flow zaps out to the news sources
