how about paywalling your content behind a zap? fanfares.io

Our trajectory of travel is clear. Digital ids will be required to access platforms.
The architecture allows anyone guilty of “wrong speech” to be removed, not just from platforms, but from economic life.
In a world where cash is no longer accepted, exclusion from an integrated digital banking system is total.
You don’t need prisons.
You just deny access.
Leaders are losing control of the narrative that they once held through newspapers, TV and radio.
Universal surveillance of speech combined with programmable money restores that control, quietly.
But there is an alternative.
There exists an entire architecture of freedom from the digital prison.
Bitcoin is the separation of money and state.
Nostr is the separation of speech and state.
But base layers aren’t enough. People don’t migrate for ideology, they migrate for economic viability.
The killer app is paid publishing.
Paid publishing with self sovereign identity, sovereign content and sovereign income all break the platform spell.
@Fanfares is the escape route.
Every creator who earns more outside platforms makes it easier for the next one. That’s how exit scales, not by coordination, but by demonstration.
First Nostr creators. Then Bitcoin creators. Then everyone who can’t ignore better economics.
Without creators, platforms will be ignored and digital ids will be unnecessary.
Banks will become unimportant when people experience money that they can own and that settles instantly.
We don’t have to fight them, we can just build around them.
We support the new system by exiting the old one.

nostr:npub16lvpp8hyxetuuczk4kjx2vqxhwmyruc72r59ysmgrsnjg5rcz8kqk07j3k can you give me some details about the NIPs you use?
Are you using https://github.com/fanfares/NIP-108 ? Others?
GM!
We haven't proposed any new NIPs, and follow the existing NIPs save for some slight augmentations to the imeta tag and the usage of the novel 'encrypted' tag.
Fanfares does 3 things for you:
- provides the encryption key for your content
- verifies the zaps you receive meet your price threshold
- deliver the decryption key to verified buyers
Text-based events like notes and longform simply store the encrypted content as the first element of the 'encrypted' tag.
For all paywalled events,the .content property is always the preview or teaser of the encrypted content.
Media-based events like music/podcast/audiobooks/etc uses slightly augmented imeta tags that point to encrypted blossom files.
Once you have the decryption key, you can decrypt the text or fetch and decrypt the blossom file.
Right now, we don't have any spec for other clients integrating this functionality, but we want to work with people to develop this. Our goal is to integrate Fanfares unlock functionality with as many clients as possible.
Fanfares will soon be open/paid source so others can run their own instance to fully control those 3 functions I mentioned above without relying on us.
Happy to answer any more questions!

We need to destroy advertising. Luckily, we have the tools to do it — the sovereign stack:
- bitcoin for value
- lightning for payment
- nostr for identity
- encryption for property
- sovereign affiliate links for discovery
Fanfares enables anyone to secure their digital content with encryption and sell it for zaps. Buyers get an affiliate link that earns them the split you set, securing your content through shared incentives.
When individuals can earn more money through direct sale of their content than from ad-driven platforms, advertising as we know it will die and be replaced by its primordial form: organic word of mouth recommendations leveraging your web of trust. #wot
Imagine if everyone encrypted all of their notes behind a 1 sat paywall with fanfares.io
Mass surveillance and AI theft would be destroyed 🫡
There happens to be a great audiobook on Fanfares about this topic: https://fanfares.io/naddr/naddr1qvzqqqr6dvpzpkmztemrw4pu5ltmuegztq6dkvv2p3ahtv8z848mncuj986m5ma8qyvhwumn8ghj7enpdenxzun9wvhxummnw3erztnrdaksqfrzv4jxgdeex5mz6eryxsuz6dp5vejz6cfc89sj6vfjxgekxv3sx5enwce4wf9qky

Here's a crazy idea: sell your digital content for sats
Hot take: build a better system fueled by aligned incentives and freedom 🫡

Those are great ideas. Unfortunately, getting a fiat institution to embrace Fanfares might be impossible right now, but perhaps in the future they could be convinced.
I mean that by encrypting part of the event that people want (and using the content part of the event for the preview) you can sell dycryption keys for zaps. That's how Fanfares works in a nutshell.
The only thing preventing you from reselling someone else's content for cheaper is:
- you have to buy it first
- you have to sacrifice your reputation in your web of trust to plagiarism
- you would have to anticipate larger returns that you'd get by cooperation with the original creator and sharing your referral link instead.
When you buy content on Fanfares you get a unique referral link for that content that gives you the % the creator specifies.
