Pro Gun. Anti War. Truss Designer by trade. Self Taught Software Developer. Hardware enthusiest. Node runner. Live your life in service to others. #nostr only since Block 775261. Father of 2. Developing a nostr relay: https://github.com/0ceanslim/grain Contact: https://happytavern.co/contact

nostr will die because there's no money in it? How does any new website get funded?

People don't usually expect payment for products AFTER they give the product out for free.

I don't care if people work on this full time. It's a protocol my man. I don't see anyone concerned with the level of work happening for http. The protocol is defined. If the nostr repo never got another commit, nothing is stopping anyone from making a client for it. nostr doesn't need any more development. Kind 0 pretty much covers it.

Why don't you go get a good paying job and stop bitching about it then?

I'm not entitled. There are a lot of clients already that are open source and they work fine as it currently stands. Even if all development for nostr completely stopped forever I could spin up one of now hundreds of open source clients on my own server. If anything hosts deserve ongoing payments, not devs.

Well... That's who you're competing with.

No. I wouldn't pay $5 a month for Netflix. I don't know what feature you could possibly have I could justify 20k sats a month for just to improve my experience of communicating online.

I don't think it is. But nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj abused the algo to trend on purpose to make a point. Then primal manually banned him from trending and nostr blew up about muh censorship. The point is an open source algo is ripe for gaming it. Openly publicizing the algo would just lead to even more people gaming it.

Algos are pointless. They will be found out and games by those paying attention until the developers inevitably have to change it to prevent it being gamed.

This is precisely why yt videos change in format. The algo changes and creators change content to chase the algo, rather than focusing on the actual content.

ie. Algos are mostly noise.

I will never sell my home to anyone but another actual person or family. I don't care what price the bankers offer. Normalize this.

Goals for future follows:

Less inflooencers, more plebs

Looks like I'll be transitioning to graphene now...

OnePlus 9 . I suppose it's oxygen os.

I don't fuckin need this stupid shit in my OS....

You might want to start a little more simple even. For now, just ask chat gpt about JavaScript and node and just get something basic working like a hello world script. Ask chatgpt when you have a question.
