Maybe I’m ignorant but how is it funded ? Where does Damus need money

We need a brainstorming. A fee for each zap, subscriptions, merchandising, a minimum monthly payment. Any other ideas ???

Nostr/Bitcoin are still at the very very beginning of a long journey. One which will require those people with vision to sacrifice their time and creative energy.

To monetize too soon may be detrimental to the overall project if it reduces cooperation, which is still vital while the basic plumbing is still being developed.

No one should underestimate the scale of the endeavour, which is in essence to replace a financial system which was built over hundreds of years.

BITCOIN PROVIDES A PATH FOR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE.

THEY CAN CHARGE FOR TOOLS AND SERVICES WITHOUT INTEGRATING WITH THE PREDATORY TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

PEOPLE WILL SPEND BITCOIN IF YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH SOMETHING THEY NEED.

Stop subsidizing the Nostr. Free relays are socialist model at worst or benevolent overlord model at best. We would be doing pay to zap today if kind hearts didn’t like losing money so much.

There are already a lot of clients. No need for new one. Just contribute to existing and propose new features. Meh, I don’t think that we need informative websites. When people join social media they don’t read how to use it. They figure out things on the go. My idea is meetups that are focused on none technical audience.

Let’s focus on this one in #2024 🫡 nostr:note134t6jgkkcpfwtj06rdrnp5pngn4j3ywv5sgn5glgtp68y2zd3xhsfd68uz

the assignment literally says: move the conditional below, inside the function.

I decided to add about fifteen other things and build a simple game. I think I am ready for the next lesson on this JS course.

Here’s my illustration of the Nostr network, and the value is has over other socials.

Trying to sort out if having your entire life's work saved in the most volatile asset possible is good for mental health?

Damnit🤦

what’s the fucking point for real.

I think it should come with a guide that differentiates between users, clients, relays, and protocol.

Like, do those ostriches mean users or clients?

The protocol can be shown as the two-way or one-way vectors, with a special style and color.

Users are behind clients, which connect them to relays. Moreover, there could be private stand-alone relays and clients too.

And any element can be open or closed source, which can be indicated with various colors.
