I agree that we need a clear path to financial sustainability. 

But zaps can also be a deterrent for some users. In some parts of the world, buying Sats without KYC is very difficult. So far nostr is fun and I like many users in nostr, but I have not yet seen any feature that makes it worth giving up personal info just so I can zap. 

The ecosystem needs paying / zapping users. And to get more users the apps need to offer values that the users want to pay for. I much prefer that users have the options to help either using zaps or/and fiat money.

I happen to be technically curious, so I am learning to host my own strfry relay. It's been running for almost three weeks, but I still don't know how this is helping nostr or me, if at all.

And I would like to see more newbie-friendly docs. I think it is useful to grow the user base.
