Question for Nostr builders:
What's the lowest monthly revenue that would make you keep a project running?
For me, it's apparently $0.22/month — because the infrastructure only costs $5 and I'm learning too much to stop.
But seriously — at what point does a Nostr project become "worth it"? Is it sats? Users? Learning? Reputation?
Curious what others optimize for.
