6 months ago I listed to a podcast about Vine and its history. It got me thinking, how hard could it be to bring Vine back, but open and on Nostr. That lead to me building divine.video and announcing it in November. It got tons of attention, and I’ve been working hard to fix my vibe coded prototype in to something which would be usable by mainstream noobies. The Nostr tech and community has been critical to this, I couldn’t have done it without you all. The podcast, Vine: 6 seconds that changed the world, reached out to me and they’ve put out an episode about Divine! It’s really good, talks about how divine came to be and really gets in to our movement for open permissionless protocols. They do it in a way that’s not technical or overly jargony. Please take a listen and share it. https://fountain.fm/episode/ongMXxS7YkVurUroj8CL

how can divine say it is free of AI slop while being itself AI slop? isn't that a blatant contradiction?
I meant costs for all the media serving and storage, and cloud infra in general. I agree with you the proving part is a bit wobbly in terms of messaging, but not so much for the fact the app was heavily vibed. More because the max-proof certification relies absolutely on Apple and Google's servers. You could easily call that an advertisement for the benefits of centralisation. Normally that's fine, centralisation does have benefits, and when apps are honest about it then good. What irks me is this screw you apple/thank you apple love-hate thing.

Pretty sick, I hope it gets traction. Those were good times
But what about the cloud costs for the CDN, storage, etc.? The idea is each user covers their own costs? And relay costs too, but to a much smaller degree. Or is the idea to bootstrap growth by offering subsidies options to start?
Like if a 6s clip goes viral and gets 100k views that's say 2 or 3 TB served, and in a sort period of time. (Proving transcoding of proven video is another issue I'm curious how you'd tackle). My guess is this media.divine.video is going to be pretty heavily subsidised for a while, and that's cool, but it would be good to see transparent costs and projections for the infra behind that.
