I completely agree with this, happy to have you with us. Have any ideas on how we can achieve this?
Discussion
This is what I wrote about back in 2021 if you want to take a look: https://rossulbricht.medium.com/decentralize-social-media-cc47dcfd4f99
The basic idea is that users would pay for content delivery, but it would happen under the hood at the protocol level and be super cheap and plentiful because of node competition (I called them "content servers" back then). Your average user wouldn't know or care about it, wouldn't have to shop around for private nodes or run their own.
But we donβt want ads and clicks model.
We are exhausted of this model.
optionality is key. the freemium through ads model is clearly valued on the internet, but the ability for an individual to start with or upgrade to a different model would actually apply pressure on the freemium ad models to not be so harmful to the end users
The average user should know about relays, even if they don't care. Everyone should have exposure to the knowledge that allows for recourse if/when they're censored. If leveraged well, that's a big part of what makes Nostr interesting and unique, too, which is where business could thrive.
Thatβs quite interesting, thanks for sharing. And your right we have seen a lot of open projects being centralized and controlled by single entities a lot.
Glad to see you in this space. Do feel Nostr, has a chance at long term success?
Oh yes, I do. That's why I am interested in understanding it and looking for possible weaknesses. I want it to succeed long-term, and the best way to ensure that is to look ahead, iterate and improve.
pretty much every single one of us has asked
"how is it going to scale"
after the first month
Ok. Not a dev, coder, particularly bright perspective here, but I would submit a gentle plea for space in a scale-less realm. A space where #nostr remains the cozy little aerie where the cool kids gather, away from the many-headed masses. One can dream.
We are very happy to have you and appreciate your efforts. If you ever have any questions be sure to ask the community as well. πΆπ«
To be honest though when I first saw you had joined I thought you would probably attach your X to auto repost here then forget about us. Glad to be wrong.
Come by the Nostr Lounge in Vegas next month and chat with us if you have the time. We'll be in the open source area.
Most of us here on Nostr have been waiting on you to get free
And then come to Nostr β¦
You did both
Yay glad your here finally π

I've been paying close attention and many others are beginning to, as well. ππ«‘
Itβs great to have your pov in the space π
LFG! keep poking holes! nostr needs your criticism and also your advocacy
I image a day, when car/house, hire/share, and so much more is simply a nostr client :)
Assange needs to be here asap
Itβs a step in the right direction but still WIP I feel.
and here we are :)
What you're describing is very similar to NIP90 data vending machines:
"This NIP defines the interaction between customers and Service Providers for performing on-demand computation.
Money in, data out."
Nice 'greed' typo
The idea seems similar to what nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqdtrej is building
Keychat has introduced the sats stamp concept, which is quite similar to what youβre talking about.π
Keychat is a chat app, built on Bitcoin ecash, Nostr protocol and Signal/MLS protocol.
Keychat is inspired by the postal system β stamps, post offices, letters.
Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices.
Keychat uses Signal/MLS protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.
