people pay more for a nip05 than a relay for 1000 of their frens. this is a client induced marketing nostr paradox.
Nip05 are a status symbol
Relay just plumbing
well, design me a nice looking toilet then. with a nice warm water relay bidet
Plumbers literally keep us all alive.
Thank them for the shower, and also everyone else involved
Well, guess what? We could solve this easily by providing services like "pay monthly, get more perks". While hosting relay, You also serve paid NIP-05 service. But on top of that, If user pays for one subscription, They could store their note forever while kept using their nip-05 address. And here's the thing. Why no one has thought doing about this? nostr:nevent1qqsxpd54sh4qeryffzanmapu7u8pe3euzy4v33sunvrts2ytq9hdpksprfmhxue69uhkymmnw3ezumr9vd682unfveujumn9wshsygrucv52prwm9t7ln7d7w7l07nyrfz0lj7tjrqnav299gtej5frupcpsgqqqqqqs3hh7pl
This is not new phenomenon, it's called Tragedy of the commons. You obviously could make them all payable, but then ppl would just use the "free" alternative (Twitter) nostr:nevent1qqsxpd54sh4qeryffzanmapu7u8pe3euzy4v33sunvrts2ytq9hdpksppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs8eseg5zxak2hal8umuaa7laxgxjyll9uhyxp86c522shn9gj8crsrqsqqqqqpfrqd6m
