I don’t think even paid subscriptions are going to cover the costs of development on Damus.

We may get half of a percent of users to pay monthly, but then you have to consider all of the clients trying to stay afloat, file hosting services and relays.

Unless the network scales significantly I don’t see how subscriptions would be viable.

What am I overlooking?

EmbassyOS has relay in store, also Umbrel has it. This one is umbrel which runs the nostr-rs-relay with mini dashboard on top of it 🤙

How hard are you stacking?

I've been using GitHub Copilot for a week and my experience is that it is indeed incredible sometimes and saves from having to write repeated or boring functions, but more often than not it is not incredible, it is wrong, and the constant stream of wrong suggestions distracts me from what I had in mind and was writing.

Plus it has also tricked me into thinking it had written correct function implementations more than once and led me into wasting time debugging its errors just because I wasn't 100% attentive while checking what it had written for me.

Using Zaps for crowdfunding is a unique way for individuals to raise bitcoin for their projects.

I recently ran a successful Zapraiser campaign, exceeding my goal of 5.67M sats. I will be forever grateful for those that contributed to the Zapraiser. No matter the amount Zapped, from 1 sat to 1M sats, each Zap brought a smile to my face. Thank you again for your support. I will be booking my travel arrangements for Latvia soon, most likely using the Travala website, as they directly accept bitcoin. I won't have to do any conversions, selling, or buying of Visa cards. I will continue to keep all of you posted. 💜

Using Zaps on Nostr provides a platform for individuals to gain exposure for their projects and ideas. Value for value, Proof-of-Work, and reputation are widely accepted concepts within the Nostr community. By creating a Zapraiser campaign on Nostr, people can share their vision within a community that recognizes these view points, endorses them, and potentially gain the support they need.

Zaps provide a unique and powerful way for individuals to fund their projects using bitcoin. Whether you're an developer looking to launch a new product or a creator looking to bring your vision to life, Zaps on Nostr can provide the support and exposure you need to succeed.

Zaps allow individuals to bypass traditional funding channels, such as banks or investors, and instead receive support directly from a community of supporters via bitcoin. This can be especially beneficial for those who may not have access to traditional funding sources or who want to maintain complete control over their project.

Zaps on Nostr allow for transparency from both the Zapper and the Zappee - all of it is public information that can be tracked.

I believe as time moves forward, we'll see more and more of these Zapraiser events and campaigns as people look to directly fund their campaigns and projects themselves. Especially now that we've seen as a community we can crowdfund projects together. This also means that we'll need to stay vigilant and protect one another.

Pura vida 🤙

What OS? If you run Android, I recommend #Amethyst app. It's really good.

Still can’t update profile pic in Damus?

Vintage Mid Century Modern furniture seems hugely overpriced compared to older antiques of much higher quality. First piece selling for $3,000, second for $575 (no typo)

I guess… that means, more for us 🤷‍♂️☺️

As far as I can see, you have 1334 followers

What’s the deal with the followers on Nostr some days I have 1k more, some days I have 1k less.

How does that work?
