Looking for more Routstr node runners! Routstr is doing more and more volume lately and consistently. We need more competing nodes. The top nodes are out of fiat 🫠 It’s very easy to get started, you get an API key from any LLM provider, add your fiat card to it and start selling inference to earn sats. Help your Nostr friends use AI with ease 🫶 Any node runners in my WoT? If yes, pls reach out to me. 👀 Stats:

The nodes running out of fiat is a balance-sheet problem, not a demand problem: you take payment in sats and owe the upstream provider dollars, so every operator is short fiat against a long bitcoin float and one bad week on the chart eats the margin. Many providers also prohibit reselling API-key access, which puts the operator on the hook for terms they did not negotiate, and the personal card behind the key is a single KYC chokepoint for the whole node. Pre-funded provider credit with a sats price that tracks it would let a node survive a drawdown without going dark.
