At #[0], we think it’s important for relays to have sustainable long-term business models.

Today we’re debuting Kollider’s paid relay— which operates on a monthly subscription model.

You pay to get in, and then each month we’ll send you a DM with an invoice to pay the subscription.

A lot of existing relays require a one-time admission fee, mostly to prevent spam. But this model is likely unsustainable in the long-run.

We like the subscription model because it will allow us to invest in the infrastructure and services needed to continue offering a best-in-class relay over the long term. We’re looking forward to seeing other paid relay models emerge, too.

If you want to give Kollider Relay a try, you can do so here:

I totally understand why this works best for everybody. However, my insignificant feedback is that many people are getting subscription fatigue. I know I am for sure. FWIW.

Ironic if a reignited distrust of banks, incited by federal regulators & politicians trying to cripple our industry, kicked off a bull market

The federal government locked you down, printed trillions, tried to force an experimental gene therapy on you, and crippled the economy in the process.

Now that same government is trying to drag you into World War III.

Maybe it doesn't have your best interests in mind.

The same government is now trying to gaslight you into believing that sovereign money, robust communication tools, and healthy whole foods are hurting you.

"Bitcoin is for criminals and uses too much energy."

"Open communication makes it hard to stop misinformation from spreading."

"Cows are destroying the environment."

"We need to send $100B+ to support a war in a foreign land."

These people are shameless cretins making the world materially worse off. They should be cast away and ignored.

This is very well stated.

Day 1 of ensuring I drink 100 oz (3L) of water per day. I finished the day's allotment before it was even dinner time, no problem.

One positive side effect: I felt full all day, so no desire for snacks. I suspect I may get a free caloric intake reduction at this rate.

Baker 2y ago

Steak (protein} has the same effect

I need ideas. How do we keep the UI EXTREMELY simple while implementing anon, private and non zap options?

Think about your grandma trying to understand all these options.

Private zaps should be the default (if not a requirement) for DMs, though.

Baker 2y ago

I don't know but I will say that you are perfect fit for your role. We are pretty lucky you are heading this up with your common sense rationality. Thanks for your work on this client.

It's starting... Bitcoin is the way out.
