I spend about $100 a month, every month, and have for the past couple of years on Nostr relays and application servers. I don't ask for donations. It's costly. However, it's more costly to *not* contribute to Nostr's future. Freedom isn't free.

Do you have a tutorial? I’d like to contribute

What do you want to build or create? How do you want to contribute?

Well, I’m not super technical but I guess supporting the network with a relay server will be a good start? I’m clueless about how to support the network

Zapped. Appreciate you brother.

Appreciate the #footstr DM too.

Thank you for you contributions sir 👊

Thank you.

why don't you ask for donations?

I don't like asking for donations. I'd rather create content and talk about what I'm building instead. Value for value.

I agree with Derek on this. If you can’t engage and earn ,keep delivering better content . Don’t lower value by begging.

Instead build with Derek, great point. Who measures when donations are enough, Bitcoin is scarce

Providing coverage is more important if they choose to do so it should be part of their self discipline not my suggestion

thank God I'm still earning 😭 guess I'm delivering exactly that . 🤙🏾 😂

Even of you are not earning you are still very lucky to be able to learn about Nostr for free at the moment

Signal does not have to be rewarded to be signal

that's why it's value for value and not value for signal .

Aunque no quieras donaciones te zapeamos igual leyend 🫡

I wish I knew how to spend that much per month on realys !

It depends on the size and the type of the relay you want to run.

We all gotta have our vices lol

Asking isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some people are willing to give V4V once they know what’s going on behind the scenes.

Thank you Derek, I appreciate all your contributions to a network protocol I can just use! Hopefully my zaps help cover the cost of me using your relays (I assume someway or another I do) 🚁😁

Thank you for your service 🫡

and holy fat zap from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqs9h6uxrgkh7clu49p5fumt98hxpcl6eq5zckt0ukczwmwczaq7qws94pkx2 🔥

this is what #Nostr is all about.

technically freedom is free because you are providing the service for free

That’s nothing bro. Just make a product and sell it.

Begging is ghey.

How rich are you ?

More self deployed relays will help, it doesn't have to online 24hours. Just start a relay on your phone over tor network to host your content and your friends will help alot. And it costs zero if you connect through Wifi.

He good. 👍

Thanks for everything you do 🫡

Freedom is earned not given 🧡🗽💜

🤝

I am impressed with your commitment to the space 🤙🤙

thank you <3

The things that are free are the most expensive …I am still amused how many ppl signing up for whatever freebies by giving away their personal data..
