Nostr Web Client

We’ve been thinking about the best sustainable subscription model for filter.nostr.wine (and our other upcoming features + additional relays) while still keeping nostr.wine accessible with only a one-time payment.

Haven’t built anything yet, but here’s what we came up with:

- Same one-time admission fee for nostr.wine (18888) sats gets you write access to nostr.wine and 1 month of access to filter.nostr.wine (+ others)

- After the first month included, filter.nostr.wine will require an ongoing monthly fee (amount tbd). You will receive a DM with a link to add time to your account in advance of its expiration.

- On the website you will be able to choose the amount you want to pay (minimum 1 month fee). We will automatically convert this amount in to days of access.

- Purchases over 6 months will automatically have their time doubled (1 year+ is 50% off). Perhaps a lesser discount for 3+ months?

We are looking for feedback from the 🍷 squad. What do you think of this concept and what would you change?

How about transparent usage vs cost + your markup. I would prefer pay for what I owe, while seeing you also get what you need.

Bitcoin will seek and destroy monthly subscription models

I don’t have any issue with this in concept but practically speaking our biggest “expense” right now is our time.

I don’t know what the future of nostr holds but at present the amount we would need to charge per user to get anywhere close to recouping the cost of only the time #[3] and I have invested so far developing and monitoring our relays would far exceed what we expect to charge. This doesn’t include our actual monthly server and service costs or any future development.
