Oddbean new post about login | logout Us plebs paying for a service we love and enjoy is very normal. It doesn’t matter with what currency we pay it with. Paying it with sats doesn’t make it hard earned any more than paying it with dollars.
Oh yeah i understand that. Hard earned income turned into stacks is what i mean by hard-stacked sats. Maybe it’s worth more or less than when it was bought, that’s kind of irrelevant. My only point is the “free market of zaps” and/or business models of devs and clients is what will either solve this or preclude the success of nostr. But (and i really don’t mean anything against yegor or derek or anyone) i don’t think saying “do bigger zaps” is effective. Same thing as telling people to tip more bc servers get paid below minimum wage. Maybe it kinda sorta helps, but they should probably just be making better wages. It’s the business model that has the real impact on their lives.
Agreed. But we need to keep in mind, we are not in a Diner. This is a flea market. We come here for the community, and yes, things are unreasonably more expensive.
Do the math the numbers Will shared a few of minutes ago. The problem is that Damus user base would need to be orders of magnitude bigger for a subscription model (or zap splits) to work. nostr:note1p472kn4e65uj8lm3wd37et4fjtcvjhyk3u9dcd59y0tk5pyu772s8pmzmj
At the risk of sounding like a completely insensitive and retarded prick, isn’t this kinda how free open source software development works? People with the time and skills to build stuff just do it due to whatever internal drivers they have, and then people may or may not donate to the cause?
Aka it generally isn’t anyone’s main stream of income. Like if i were a dev i’d have a job at some company and then build on open source shit whenever i both can and want to, expecting nothing in return but probably getting donations and being happy I sound like a tota fuckwad rn don’t i 🤣
Nope Diffusion does open source not make. 😉
