Replying to Avatar Sirius

I'd like to continue working on Iris & Nostr, but would need funding soon. Any grants available?

Iris is MIT licensed and will always remain free and open source. It's available for web, Android, iOS and desktop. Works just fine on the Tor Browser.

Iris design goals have been speed, reliability and ease of use. I want to work on these further. I want to add public and private custom feeds, including user lists, content filters and different ranking algorithms. We also need group chats and better DM privacy.

I want to add more p2p capability to clients. Syncing of events over WebRTC, local area network or even bluetooth. Iris already supports Webtorrent, but the interface needs improvement. I think we should actually have nostr:file urls for binary files and transmit them over relays or direct p2p.

I'll try to get Iris subscriptions done soon, but it will probably be some time until it's sustainable income.

There's so much cool stuff to be done that I don't want to go back to fiat mining 😄

Open Collective? Maybe for a bunch of these nostr projects which aren’t big enough for a company but to big to be an unpaid side project.

I like the decentralization of small independent projects... and there is enough of goodwill, I'm optimistic this will be solved soon!

I think the Nostr economy is based on getting a percentage of the commission from each user to zap⚡️. Nostr developers build good products, more people use Nostr, people zap⚡️ People and posts here, developers get a portion of the sats commission reward from zap, and then go on to develop products and provide services. This is a virtuous economic cycle. The more people use it, the more rewards there are, and with good rewards you can build a better product.

Value creates value, and happily Will says this is already on Nostr's roadmap.
