We should face the issue of Nostr's lack of positive economic incentives like Bitcoin. The more people use #Bitcoin , the more miners, infrastructure providers, mining machine manufacturers, and trading platforms can survive profitably through development. We can survive without relying on advertising, but currently, Nostr's user growth and development needs, as well as the development and maintenance of relays, servers, and clients, are consuming developers' funds and time. In the short term, it can be operated out of passion. However, providing services for free in the long term is not in line with the laws of market economy. This is why many relay operators have shut down, as they did not receive funding from opensats before. The client developers who can survive now are also relying on opensats funded by Jack. If
jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) had not had the support of
OpenSats (npub10pe…n34f) before, Damus would not have been able to continue its development.
We are very grateful for
jack (npub1sg6…f63m) 's strong support for Nostr, but without positive economic incentives, the Nostr ecosystem will only be short-lived. Nostr's survival is extremely dependent on Jack's donations, which has become a new single point of failure for Nostr. We need to rely on Jack's early donations to find a positive incentive economic mechanism, or for each client to generate profits in the future to fund opensats. This will allow #Nostr to enter a virtuous development ecosystem.
Yes. Nostr's existence depends on #[0] 's donation. 🙃
