 hang on, so you saw this nostr protocol that is for the people, created entirely someone else, and you decided to go and buy the dot com domain to make money out of it, and now you own the dot org and you want to be called the saviour? that sounds really messed up. i thought you were the good guy. 
 Well not entirely created by someone else 😂
Its well documented me asking for months when our community could be counted on 2 hands for someone to secure these domains. I eventually secured (at a substantial personal cost may I add), shitcoiners offered me $5m for dot com and I didn't sell, sooooo 
 Damn, someone actually offered 5 mill for it? 
 I’m guessing the nostr asses people ? 
 «Nostr asses people» 😂😂

But yeah prob. 
 I see. Well the concept of Nostr was created by fiatjaf and I can understand why from a very tech perspective a domain may not seem relevant then. 

Even now, a domain is a marketing and sales portal. And a bridge from the traditional internet to this renaissance internet. 

Shitcoiners probably had some bad intentions, but your intention is to make money out of this. 

For every dev out there working on Nostr to bring in people, nostr.com might be the first thing people see - which means hundreds of millions of users. 

How do you plan to generate profit from the website ? And who benefits out of it?
