#asknostr how much would it cost to run a relay (with blossom server) that can host 50k users, per month. Only operating costs, no R&D, no marketing, no…

How does Centralized Social Media (roughly) spends its revenue? Infrastructure / hosting: 6–12% R&D: 15–30% Sales & marketing: 15–35% Content / creator payouts: 10–25% Moderation ops: 5–10% G&A: 5–10% EBITDA / retained: 0–20% (often low or negative during growth) The Nostr drama focuses on that 15-30% R&D budget, it always does. Let’s imagine I decide to operate a subscription relay… 6-12% go to running cost of the relay. 15-30% is redistributed, 1/3 kept for internal RnD, 1/3 is redistributed to clients based on ratio of notes posted to relay from specific client, 1/3 goes into a user voted grants funds. 15-35% is spent on community driven advertisement programs (or classical advertisement) 5-10% is redistributed to the community for moderation (relays have to keep it legal) The rest goes to G&A fund and profit.
