Oddbean new post about login | logout We would like to start onboarding our initial Creators for a closed beta on our new patreon style relay. Content creators will be able to create subscription tiers and associate notes/content with a tier. Those notes will only be shared with their subscribers at or above that tier. We will also be able to serve PPV content on behalf of our creators. The relay can be accessed from any nostr client! If you are a content creator of any kind and interested in monetizing through subscriptions and PPV content on nostr - send me a DM!

what prevents users from broadcasting the exclusive content to other relays?
Nothing prevents the event itself from being re-broadcasted and like most similar legacy services nothing prevents paying users from saving the content to their machines and re-sharing it elsewhere. However, creators will have access to our file host that will only unlock files for authorized users by IP initially and then eventually by NIP-98 when more widely supported. This way, even if the protected event is leaked by one of your subscribers, the links in the event will not work. We also support PPV links with embedded streaming video (instead of just serving the file) to further minimize unauthorized redistribution.
I have very little understanding of the technicalities of how this will work, but as someone who uses a VPN 24/7, having content fenced by IP address would suck...
As long as you’re not switching VPNs after connecting to the websocket it shouldn’t be an issue! NIP-98 will simplify all this. That will allow us to auth content access via your nostr identity instead.
How are you doing subscriptions?
Starting out simple with normal invoices on the web + bot commands to generate invoices but we absolutely want to support NWC/AutoZap/whatever else helps make the UX smooth. Perhaps we should chat on the best way for us to support multiple subscriptions per user, how to manage them, and how that would look in the wallet/client to the user.
Let's do it
So one thing I'd like to see is sharing artistic content (photography in my case) with subscribers in a patreon style model...not sure if that's appropriate as an initial use case, but throwing it out there as an idea.
For any kind of content?
Generally speaking, yes
I am setting up English and Portuguese classes. Lessons, exercises and specific videos.
This would be a great use case!
Am I eligible for the play test?
Yes, I’ll send you a DM!
Awesome. My company profile for the classes advertising is this one: @Ludi Educandi
Promise I’ll publish the NIP I promised tomorrow. Sorry for the delay 😞
