i should probably run a relay before i go further down this train of thought 😶🌫️
How can we make running a relay accessible to (motivated) normies? What needs to be built?
i think there are interesting opportunities with nostr and building
communities. i don’t love btc but the tightly integrated micropayments give an incentive for creators etc to transplant their communities.
maybe the solution is “simply” a way to set up a relay that is free yet has the UX of a consumer application
obviously a client application is needed as well, but that’s already damus
i’m kind of a bitcoin disenjoyer which doesn’t help. but… if nostr can never build non-btc communities then won’t it inevitably fail?
is the trick to just spam thoughts? i feel like i don’t get relays yet.
something interesting is happening on nostr. though i’m not sure exactly what it is.
O.T.B.A.G.
Super intrigued by this concept of an internet archive built on nostr. Potentially could use purpose-built relays for long term storage of **only** website archives, not regular notes.
Anyone know who's working on this? The commit just says the author is the waybackarchiver github account.

what strengths of nostr lend itself to this, do you think?
