Yeah. I’ve been here since almost the first month, but I’ve never understood where the resources come from to run it. It’s decentralized, but if the government could arrest the funders and shut it down, that is obv a vulnerability.
Nostr users only care about money so that could be an issue
Well, we care about Bitcoin, yes. Seems like, conceptually, there could be a zap tax that funds what’s needed on NOSTR.
Bro Jack spent like 10 bitcoin or something to bootstrap nostr
Which might make him vulnerable, given the Telegram founder’s arrest. I’m just asking if there’s
A decentralized way to fund NOSTR, because they can’t arrest all of us.
Ya like Lyn responded to me with a long ass message and I respect her she's got a voice she's independent but you gotta think about why normal ppl never make a fuss is because they make an example out of the powerful people so ya they cant kill us all but when they attack the leaders in a community most ppl get the hint. So it's basically impossible for a regular average person to contend with this because the cost of attacking the network is too high. The individual in weak compared to the organized coordination of the system.
