Yep we will probably need to pay someone for hosting if we want to compete with Usenet? I get like blistering fast downloads and almost anything I can imagine for like $20-30 a year.

We will have paid blossom servers.
- Uploaders will have to pay a certain amount of sats/GB/month for storage.
- with automatic cashu payments from a NIP-60 wallet
- Users / Downloaders might need to pay a few sats for bandwidth to get content from the blossom servers.
- Only payments will incentivize people to run blossom servers with Terabytes of storage and Petabytes of bandwidth.
I am seeding 750+ torrents. Only placing ~ 2 TB/month. Incentive: fuck all of the streaming services.
uploading ~ 2 TB/month*
I love your incentive.
Streaming services still have superior UX, we need to work on that.
I want to: find video, watch trailer, sounds good, play and starts streaming and I'm certain it won't stall. Will pay many sats for that.
I think thats cool and hopefully we can do zap splits to send a (major) portion to the creators who publish directly to nostr. Fuck the middle men. Bitcoin disintermediated payments. Nostr will do the same for comms and content distribution.
