I have never asked for a donation but here it goes:
I host 4 relays now completely for free, they will always be free, on top of doing thousands of hours of open source work. I've never received a grant, I'm running purely on passion and principles here.
If you are enjoying my relays (WoT, Haven, Algo) - please consider making a donation to help cover the costs of my servers and bandwidth - the costs really add up 🫂🙏
/end e-begging
Thank you for everything you do here.
How does one connect to your relays? One GitHub link in your profile doesn’t list anything in the wss: format that I could find, and the other has so many without the first one working.
Why not go the nostr.wine route and require payment? You'll be helping the market with price discovery and enable your operation to scale. It's an essential step for Nostr to mature. If I were you I'd start at what seems high since there's little competition. Say 33k ($30) a month.
As soon as you start charging, people have expectations around uptime and whatnot
Then maybe just a one time fee not sure how many users you are having on your relay but 10000 sats a user nostr wine also does it similar way
That's a good thing because it helps us get to the truth of the matter. We should not gaslight ourselves thinking we have a reliable system when it requires not only passion but charity. v4v is an aesthetic but reality operates on mass (users) and energy (money).
Very grateful for everything you do brother
post an xmr address please 🙏
How to ask for money is the hallmark of a great entrepreneur.
The secret is a nice green GitHub spreadsheet.
The board of directors of OpenSats determines your proof of work based on this scrap of paper, not on user love and the code you have built.
This is inspiring me to get my sats up! Keep building 😎🥊
Respect your great work. 🫡
Have you applied for funding in OpenSats?
Several times 🙏🫂
Did they all say no? Why?
Hopefully you're not rejected for the same reason as Freerse. The OpenSats board wanted a nice green GitHub stat sheet. We'd been building the product locally for the previous year and a half. They don't care if your product is used and if Nostr's users like it.
I respect their decisions and appreciate them 🫂🙏
I'd bet if you complain about it a few dozen more times your app will get a unique feature that's worth funding! 🙄
Have you thought about applying for a grant at @OpenSats?

Where's your XMR address?
You’re a good warrior komrade ⚡️

You provided BEST timely response to ReplyGuy spam attack on nostr.
I honestly don’t know if I use any of those relays but doesn’t matter, I am 100% supportive of the passion and principles, so thank you for doing what you do.
