Linux and Cats lover Scientism believer

Since you implicitly defended me against others, I have to temporarily agree with you😅

I always avoid discussing religion. My first comment was not about religion, but I wanted to investigate a social phenomenon from a scientific point of view.

That's what I wanted to say👍

You are a religious person and I am a scientific person. As a result, I don't think we can agree on whether morality is absolute or relative :)

Religions instill the idea that good and evil are absolutes, but this is false. Morality is relative and depends on the situation. Humans and animals follow the same rule: forest animals are cruel because the conditions of life in the forest demand it, domestic animals are kind because they always have enough to eat, but a large domestic dog may eat you if it be too much hungry and has no food to eat, this is exactly how humans manner in different situation.

don't make your profile pics animated, looking at them annoying me :(

That's all I know.

used zap splitting just now, it's awesome👍

I've been using the MyMonero web app for years, but I just found out that it has my "private view key" and can see my incoming transactions.therefore I have decided to use Featherwallet.

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is super reluctant to monetize services and relays on #Nostr?

If we can’t make these things sustainable then we will either lose them, or they will stay nothing more than a weird little corner of the internet with lots of hope but no chance of ever scaling.

I still haven’t seen the basic model of zap sharing tried by any major client or relay. But I DO see regularly comments about how expensive relays are. I mean it might not work, but can’t we TRY it?

I want to make the distinction here too that this doesn’t mean we are closing off the network, we are adding permissions to the protocol, this doesn’t suggest at all to used closed source code, we simply need the services necessary to keep this ecosystem robust, to be profitable and have the resources to thrive. If they aren’t, then NONE of this works. Economics is everything.

I know building features is more exciting. I know we all want to make everything that we can free, and I agree all of the *code* should be shared. However, I think there is a natural insecurity (and I say this because I have this problem personally) with charging a fair price, and fearing criticism or the ire of people who believe everything should be free (as in price) when we need things to be free (as in Liberty). They are not the same, and confusing the two could stifle, or drastically slow down, the insane potential of this place.

TL;DR We have GOT to divert some energy to thinking about how to make this ecosystem sustainable, or we will lose it.

(Disclaimer: this isn’t a judgement on whoever is thinking about this problem. It just *seems* like few are. If you are building in this way please share your ideas or what you are trying. I’m extremely interested)

The idea of ​​paid relays seems like a good idea, but here is a problem: suppose in the future the number of nostr users reaches millions and the number of notes reaches thousands of millions of notes, in such a situation, what is the cost of run and maintaining a relay? I don't think anyone can offer a free relay in this situation. As a result, I think that nostr will move towards paid relays in the future, but won't the paid relays lead to the centralization of nostr? Most users try to choose the best relays and the best relays will be the biggest relays. As a result, we may have a few large premium relays in the future that act like a bitcoin pool and censor users' notes if they want to.
