Yes, StartOS has a service called Agora, where you can sell documents for bitcoin. You can also set up a BTCPayServer store and sell “consultation packages” or something like that. You can do this with a variety of node implementations, but I highly recommend Start9. You can use your own hardware so no need to spend the extra money on a server right away if you want to test it out.

still no one has answered my lightning question 😥

can someone explain simply all the possible ways that managing your lightning channel could result in you losing a portion of the Bitcoin that you have locked up in that channel?

- i heard forced closures can be expensive, and especially in high fee environments?

- i heard that if your node is offline that someone can force close, and then present an outdated channel state that benefits them?

- if you mismanage your liquidity (maybe make your channel too small) then you can essentially lock up that Bitcoin because it’s not worth paying the fee to even close the channel?

- anything else?

and what would be all the different methods / best practices for protecting against any of these potential loss of funds?

Amethyst's todo list:

- Implement Communities (and find a place in the UI)

- Finish the Live Stream implementation (and find a good place in the UI)

- Implement Marketplaces (and find a good place in the UI)

- Implement a local database (and repurpose the app as a real Nostr storage system for your content)

- Implement private group chats (we have to choose a good protocol first)

Not in any particular order.
