I'll say it again for people in the back that didn't hear it.
We're all here because we recognize what's wrong with legacy social communication.
Nostr is an open protocol. There is no correct path forward. There are only user choices.
You can also tell me to go fuck myself if you don't believe me or like what I said.
That's the beauty of all of this.
Keep building.

As long as we have you, Derek, with your ability to convey meaning, everything will be fine. Thank you for that!
I like you! π«π«ΆπΌ
I believe you and like what you said, but this had to be done.
Heard.
Are you worried about the lack of economic incentives around building on Nostr?
This is the way.
Nope. Your wrong. Only what I believe is right and I believe that everyone should have the freedom to think and do what they want as long as it is what I think is right.

Devs eventually have to figure out a way for the network to pay for itself, ideally ad-free. What are the scenarios?

Not really. A personal inbox/outbox relay is cheap or near nothing to run. Now, large public relays are a different story. I don't make a sat from nostrelites.org but a lot of people use it. Perhaps these relays die off in the future and smaller, cheaper relays are the path forward.
I'm wrong a lot. Please also listen to others. Form opinions after hearing many sides.

Many different funding options will be tried, because each client and approach will be different. Not all funding models will work for all clients.
Still waiting for you to stop doubling down on gaslighting and time-wasting. Admit those are what you were doing here, not merely being "confused" - and if you want to apologize, offer substantial help with the same power you've abused here, or a relinquishing of that power, instead of empty words.

Not worth reading. Ask him if he remembers me, my username on there was "blocked by pfrazee" because he blocked me when I got mad at him and his henchmen for targeting suicidal people

Of course, like all of us. Like all people. It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain humanity online, and the nostr, as I see it today, somehow still allows to do this.

The Damus team can barely keep their doors open and theyβre one of the most successful projects on Nostr.
Chris Dixon is convinced protocols alone donβt have a path forward. Blockchains & tokens can transform protocols from altruistic utilities into thriving ecosystems.
Why would a bright young engineer build on Nostr if there is little to no economic incentives to do so?

If we're all here because we recognize what's wrong with legacy social communication then how come most of you aren't talking about Gaza?

We are so incredibly early. The sky is the limit for #Nostr

Super intrigued on how open this feels. I started out feeling that way on Twitter and Tumblr, but soon saw corporations come in and upend all the organic momentum and turn them into auction houses.

Lol i had to.
But I definitely agree. I don't know who said it first, but I think somebody smart said that nostr is new, and literally everything will be tried, even models you don't agree with. We're all just trying to figure out how to best use this shit. And what's best for one might not be best for the other.

Donβt worry about the trolls π§
Just keep building
If they want to argue, then can learn to code and build it how they want it. If they donβt want to learn to code or build things, then fuck em. Donβt feed the trolls.
I am not interested in these sell-outs, I prefer voluntary work by idealists.
Sell outs are not the best option and more like a scams. I like idea of volunteer support like primal βbecome a legendβ doing it.. maybe @jb55 can copy it on Damus and other clients can adopt similar approaches

Go fuck yourself. Just kidding, I'm only testing NOSTR's resilience. Where is that community note that's going to get me banned?

http seems to be doing fine...
this is a leading question
If I'm not mistaken Damus already have special badges for supporters.
But it's hard to imagine that yielding enough money to pay for a "bright young engineer" that could be scamming people for millions on Solana.
Weβve got damus purple for our subscribers. They get early access to new features and products and a badge for support, etc. Very grateful for everyone who signs up!

Damus
A new social network that you control


"There's no correct path forward" -- we are actively looking for one. There are better and worse paths. No single person can solve it. We need all the eyes and all the brains to find it. We are the algorithm!
better and stronger every day

gfy lovely bro ;)
If we could all just gather in Discord to reboot the network, Nostr might just succeed.

Well reason is people are illiterate and stupid f you shout here nostr is not so widespread and media doesnβt care about this platform. When we have more users then this revolution gonna happen.
@fiatjaf it is easy to believe most crypto projects are scams, because they are. I agree.
Itβs naive to ignore how to improve economic incentives for Nostr builders. Thatβs my goal.
I donβt have the answers. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for your work on Damus.
Wow thank you! π
That's hawt.
Nothing but love. XOXO
I guess legend thing on primal and purple on nostr is a different thing
Well said indeed.
Itβs why Iβm here, for sure
go fuck yourself......with love. π
Well, I guess if the client apps get monetized through subscriptions, maybe the client apps can support the network relays, developers and other infrastructure. I kinda like the idea of apps competing for subscriptions by providing more and better services, including ad-blocking.
