Make the cost and a wallet that will pay for it viewable to the public and we will make sure the bills get paid.

I do not mind paying $5 (in Lightning) a month for Amethyst to get costly features. Maybe some form of paid Amethyst?

What features or perks would you want in a paid amethyst subscription?

Maybe a little nice icon or circle on profile pic and maybe access to a private relay for starters?

I created a ticket to discuss paid features (if any), and included your suggestions:

Thank you!

Uploading media (pic and videos), access to amethyst relay etc Sure there could be more ideas out there

nostr.band has a similar service. https://media.nostr.band/

Do you think this could be something that could be interchangeable? this seems like an issue all clients have and it would cool to have some kind of standard for talking to these servers.

Yep, Snort has another one as well. I just didn't want to break their servers yet. :)

I think that is an issue that needs to be addressed. In my server at the moment it is not a problem but in the long run it is clearly unsustainable if we want to be global

Just installed the 0.15.9 :D

New download, go!

Thanks & let us know about the server cost so we can contribute.

Images aren't loading for me 🫤

Same 🙃

It suddenly started loading, looks fine

Turns out I needed a bigger server. It should be back now. :)

Sometimes more is more.

🤣

It's working now

I think you might need an even bigger server 😮

Never mind! Closed the app and reopened and it's working now 🤙

Revert😅?

My bad, I couldn't see any avatars for a while and thought something broke

On the top left corner I see the genetic avatar. Is this normal?

How can we, the people, help you? Can we contribute servers or help via resizing profile pics etc. Here to help

Ezgif is one site. I reduced mine 90%

Ah I mean runnjng a server to download and reduce everyone on nostrs profile pic size. Then the app loads from there

I don't use Amethyst but you are doing quite impressive work. 2.000 sats on the way to contribute.

Fogo 🔥

Thank you. Any plans to make adjustable amount zaps? 1k sats seems in some case a bit to much. Then I have to use snort.social for that now.

Yes. My sigsatsure isn't 1000

Do you have any plans to cache posts from the top 200 nostr users or so? Would surely increase performance on my old mobile

Start up performance? Otherwise, the app already caches locally.

yes. it takes some time to load the feed initially.

also profile images could be cached locally?

Yep, all pictures are also cached locally as of now. In the disk of the phone.

Your post is being widely read.

Hi. I cannot find the version info in the app. Have to guess wheter the app update went well or not. Suggestion: add "about.." section somewhere at settings

Phone Settings / Apps / Amethyst :)

Thanks, found it. In app would be even easier.
