 So what you are saying is, this Nostr thing has zero chances of ever going mainstream? 🤔

 Why are you saying that?

 Vitor, has the old legacy getalby stopped working with amethyst/alby link-up?

Just wondered if the new albyhub had taken its place

 no, but they are phasing the custodial wallet out by decreasing the limits over time. So, at some point, everybody will migrate over.

 Ah ok, had some issues with mine. So I've gone back to wos for small amounts

 Don't forget the Noderunners bostr relay:

 and from all of these i think the cheapest one is the one that could help you the best to networking at nostr... 
 Do you think this is feasible & affordable?
Got to market it as a status perk or something.

 no, but freedom is never free.  
 This pop-up I get says it's 18.888 for an one time admission fee nostr.wine looks like a better deal 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸

Also I don't see this monthly plan for nostr.build and 69k is expensive I always use satellite.earth/cdn to upload bigger videos it cost very little and it's for demand.

 Why not just pay $5/mo for some vps and host your own relay for all this?

Why can't my drskop/phone be my own relay? 
â–² â–¼
 you can. But this is the easiest way to do it right now. 
 -self host your own wallet with BTCPay software 
-self host your own image & videos with Chevereto software
-self host you own relay with nostr-rs-relay

of course that cost money, more money than what you are paying but most importantly you need to have the skills to self host everything.

So it's good there is administrators out there running things for us. 
Sometimes it's better and easier to just pay someone else to host and maintain things for you. 

What worries me is that someday the relay operators or image hosting websites might shutdown and there goes all my posts. 

I like hosting my own things.

 Agree, freedom don't come free. I just went with hosting all my images on a public s3 like bucket with a domain pointed at it. I don't host my own relay but I would like a relay or something I can host to pull down all my posts for archival purposes should the public relays let me down. Know of anything like that?

How is it better than using any other centralized hosting platform? 
 Nostr client integrations is really the only thing that comes to mind.

 A thing which doesn't make those services any more decentralized than Google Drive.

These services probably shouldn't have "Nostr" in the name at all, but the fact that many people on Nostr think that they are decentralized, or in any way whatsoever censorship resistant, shows that much of the Nostr community doesn't actually understand (or care about) either decentralization or censorship resistance.

 Someone should group these into a package and serve it as a nostr premium membership. 
 You should reach out and get on as a re-seller. Seems like a natural way to fund further development of an app like this. "Amethyst premium"
