I might go for it; Would https://nostrop.com qualify?

Couldn't we bootstrap some sort of IPFS-like solution for file stoage using relays? I would suggest something like:

- Store 50MB / public key / first month free

- Invoice users via LN after 1 month / over 50 MB / per day

- Non-payment -> deletion

- Default redundancy is 3; clients announce desired redundancy and relays fullfill and invoice. Client may optionally select specific relays to store files.

This would allow easy on-boarding / trial.

As for relays:

- Relays "sync" files like events (pin file; store locally)

- Backup relays charge less and don't have HTTP gateway

- Normal relays charge more, and have HTTP gateway

- Competition between relays for cheaper / faster storage

It should be easy enough for a relay to "discover" how many others already share the file, and which relays the user is paying to store the file (LN invoice).

Since most users upload and view images and videos, a small surcharge could cover not only storage and bandwith of data, but maintenance of the relay.

Over time, more users will run a local IPFS-like note (like Bitcoin node) locally, and not only support the network, but:

- earn from selling space

- pay less, or nothing for browsing themselves

Over more time, events could migrate to the same mechanism.

Until it all goes down, and he/she/it is jailed for negligence.

Any Matrix users out there? I've got a sneak-peak of Nheko for Android - now with voice & video calling support: https://temp.pantherx.org/matrix-client_0.1.48_arm64-v8a.apk

Sometimes I get a little frustrated with NostrOP's current limitations, until I realize that most if not all Nostr (web-)clients have the same problems.

Used it on many occasions. Very good RPC.

Every ~6 months I need to do some organizing. Every time I end up searching for a tool to do the job - and land on ncdu. I just never manage to remember the name "ncdu".

NostrOP supports inline events and users now.

That and $0.84.

This is a problem everywhere except where governments (or whoever is in control) is actively preventing supplies from reaching the population.

I'm trying to imagine what it would be like, to have clients stream sats to me, rather than having to invoice them. It's kinda nice, but sort of frightening...

In fact, if you give users the choice, it does exactly what you're describing

> bigger relays that users gravitate

Isn't that the opposite, of what we're trying to achieve?

So wouldn't you agree, that it would better, if users don't have to pick a relay? Because if properly implemented (protocol), it shouldn't make a difference?

What you're describing sounds like a Matrix / Mastodon problem.

No - if there was a "best relay" that implies that most users would want to join this relay. Nostr is - in theory - censorship resistant, because there's no "best relay".

The best, paid relay? How about Twitter?

I think you're missing the point of Nostr.

*DIY. Sometimes I miss traditional editing.

Is this still valid? Are there more precise spec than https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/856 ? How about sync between clients? DYI?

I have yet to implement follower counts on NostrOP and I find it somewhat pleasant. When you see an account with 2000 followers, your brain automatically treats this account differently compared to one with say - 2 followers - even though the account with 2 followers may have much more interesting things to say.

So what exactly is the point?

Social proof? Smart bots can collect followers.
