Oddbean new post about login | logout Ah, okay 👍👍 I think Mazin-san is experimenting with something like that in a separate wine relay for creators & NIP-42. Not sure (will see if I can find the note)

It's not a bad idea to put a paywall on the relay, but it seems necessary to consider countermeasures in the event that it is broadcast.
Definitely! That’s why we supplied a file host that also controls access in the same way. If your note leaks to other relays, the file/media links in your note will NOT work for unauthenticated users.
So centralized nodes among a decentralized platform? interesting
Yes the relay + platform is undoubtedly centralized. The value we hope to bring on the nostr side is client interoperability and free flow of payments beyond the paywall. At the end of the day someone has to host the files. If the files are hosted outside of our control, we have no way to protect access to them.
Yes and I think we all need to think about ddecentralization as a continuum - there is a place for custodian ln wallets, mining pools are a centralization risk, OpenSats built a governance structure to mitigate , there are lots of examples. supporting content creators with different tools is iimportant the ggrowth of #nostr
