Pura Vida!

Here's a few screen grabs of something I've been working on this last couple of weeks! Meetup communities and events on NOSTR.

I just noticed that a new NIP (52 - Calendar events) got approved a few days ago which looks partially similar to what I've been working on, so I'll be looking at whether I can work with those specs in some way. I think the author has something similar in mind, although I'm not sure it's an exact fit for what I've been planning.

Anyway, I should have a working version up for people to play with, and code to inspect, in the next few days sometime. Maybe early next week.

Yes new models for monetization need to be explored, and need to be much easier and more seamless in platforms like Habla. The subscription model attempts to restrict access to content with paywalls, and requires user contact and payment info be stored to pull payment to renew the subscription monthly/annually/etc. Suppose an author did setup a paywall on Nostr, or a paid private relay, to allow access to their long form Nostr content. The first person to rebroadcast that note to other relays defeats that setup 😂 And the solution isn’t to attempt to further restrict access so they can’t broadcast notes, etc. It’s a waste of time. People hate paywalls, and paywalls limit the potential reach of content. But people may love a particular author and want to support them regularly. Building monetization models that capitalize on and encourage that author-reader relationship makes more sense to me. Tools like ZapPlanner from Alby that allow you the reader to setup an automated recurring payment TO someone, like an author, would make it feel more like a subscription while leaving the reader in control of their payments and info. It would be cool to see a site like Habla make it easier to setup something like that. I’ve also seen the idea of a “crowd wall” where a threshold is set to unlock content once, and then is available to everyone. No need to circumvent paywalls, and the people who care enough to send additional support can do so via single or recurring zaps.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🤙🏻🫂

You can zap the authors any time and any amount you want. What need is there for a subscription? To force you to pay when you can already do it willingly?

Is there a substack replacement on nostr yet? One that allows a subscription model? I think that would be pretty important.

For decades we improved our forest fire fighting.

An unintended side-affect of that was that we enabled excessive underbrush tree growth.

Fire is a the natural predator of vegetation.

By trying to protect forests we unintentionally turned them into biggest tinder boxes in the history of planet earth. nostr:note1klv5n3pxjc0j89u2g5dwjnj56ljeg0em8yvn00x979k03dyprl9sdc0uku

Please understand how gamechanging the concept pablo shares here will be. We cannot fathom yet the fullness of the downstream effects. I'm so excited. 🔥

the more I think about nostr the more excited I get

Not far enough north to be a vacation for me, too close to the fiat mines for me lol and not sure if the kids would appreciate it as much as me, but maybe a day trip if I can talk the wife into it
