Nostr Web Client

Who will be the first to run an independent public instance of zap stream server? #asknostr

I don't know but I did that math and it looks good,

If someone charges even 1 sat per minute to stream and you have someone constantly stream for 24 hours, that's 1440 sats per day which is about 1.62 USD a day, after 30 days that's 48.60 USD a month. That pretty much pays for a dedicated server and gives you about 5 USD in profit.

The only downside is Kieran is allowing free streaming. So the chance of someone picking your server over a free server is low. In the past even the free one coat 1 sat a minute but he changed it to allow grow.

You should pursue this further. All the servers are currently EU only. There is room for other geo-locations so that streamers from north American, Asia, South America - or even Slayer from South Africa (pun) - have lower latency options for their streams.

I'll happily spin a server up in mexico with my Start9 if it's ever added to the marketplace.

Miss you too, I've been grinding away at the fiat mines nonstop :( I've been meaning to ask you though, do you use a VPN for gaming? And if you do, which one do you recommend? I'm thinking of getting Geforce Now

I don't. GFN is split from the tunnel for performance reasons.

I tired several weeks ago but I got stuck at the LND part so I gave up.

There seems to be 3 providers now so I think we're good now. I'll try another time to get one going.

I remember. Since then Kieran has changed quite a few things and made the entire backend deployable with docker composer. You can now also use an LN address with NWC instead of running your own node.
