 Everybody talks about how we should get more diverse and interesting content on to Nostr. We’re working with nostr:npub1qspus6smkn8mcdxg5jflh50s69vdgtwsd5p74gmjpzp2qekn5duqfv5afj to cover the Olympics!

We’ve created special relay for the nostr:npub1qspus6smkn8mcdxg5jflh50s69vdgtwsd5p74gmjpzp2qekn5duqfv5afj coverage of the Olympics. It’s an experiment with topical paid relays. You can get some of the coverage for free on Nostr and pay with zaps. Or you can pay nostr:npub1qspus6smkn8mcdxg5jflh50s69vdgtwsd5p74gmjpzp2qekn5duqfv5afj and get access to the full feed of exclusive coverage. 

I am increasingly interested in the way Nostr can be used for sports coverage and community. It’s a community which needs the real time public conversation that exists on Twitter, that’s why they haven’t moved off to one of the alt platforms I think. What’s more, it’s a community that has some very real censorship issues which are focused on copyright and region blocking. There’s a whole world of live sports streaming which is constantly facing shutdown due to broadcasters trying to control their content.
