Nostr is still stuck behind the network wall of adoption. Nobody is here because nobody is here..
Big media names using the protocol and promoting it would go a long way towards climbing over that wall.

How did it work out so far? I paid for one of the zap-it's to see what it was like. It is better than nothing, but realize the link itself is not paywalled. I expect eventually there'll be tools here for doing it properly.
I've been on boarding a friend of mine here ( @npub149q…dxxc ) who's been wanting to do stuff like this for awhile. I discouraged her from starting an OF because she's not in a position to put in the kind of work required to be successful there. I got her on BentBox first, but that's a bit of a hustle as well.
Nostr has good potential to work, and it is still early days, so I've been helping her get set up and figure it out.

Strike is great because it is bitcoin-only, and serves as an exchange so you can covert your sats to usd and plop it into your bank account if you want to. You do have to use strike.army to get the LN address to allow for receiving zaps directly on notes, but once your setup it is slick.

People may pay if the value FAR outweighs the cost. Not everyone, of course. The idea of ads disgusts me but perhaps there really is no other way?
I suppose it'd end up being both at some point. Maybe the classic pay-for-no-ads model is what happens.

Each one of those is a server that takes your notes/posts and sends them to everyone else on the relay. Conversely, it also sends everyone's posts to your feed. No, you don't really need to mess with them. You *can* decide to only send or only to receive from them individually.

- reply

Might be best to focus on hashtags that are accurate for the content you are actually posting vs trying to game a system like "the old days". People on nostr aren't fond of subterfuge. If I'm following a hash tag it is because I want that content specifically. Someone using the tag for things that are not that topic will be blocked with haste.

As the user base increases, the zap culture and norms will shift. I think the micro zaps for note content will always remain and there'll eventually be paywalls for other content and the (truly) free market will decide where that pricing falls.

2023-08-02 16:35:36

- reply

Yes, I've already got my IRA LLC account w you. It's the custodial part that is with someone else. I may not fully understand everything, but being the entity that records/reports contributions and values to the gov't is a different thing. I wire my personal after tax income to them designated as a Roth contribution, once they receive it I have to have them wire it to my ROTH IRA's business checking account. From there I can finally invest it under the Roth.

2023-08-02 14:40:17

- reply

I'd love it if you could also serve as a custodian for my self-directed ROTH IRA because the company I use is borderline raping me with their fees and the whole process of having to loop my contributions through them via wire transfer is annoying, cumbersome, and slow.
Granted, I'm assuming you can't already do that because I've never specifically asked...

I'm still waiting for the spicy content creator/SW crowd to catch on to nostr. It is just the sort of social media platform they need, IMO. A handful of the bigger OF creators using this protocol and doing what they do to grow the network would really get the ball rolling. In exchange they get the freedom to actually share everything they want to and get sats directly.
That's not to say I look forward to having to wade through all the crap that comes with it, but the tools are here for anyone to use. I also fear the heat from the prudes - however, there's nothing anyone could really do to stop it since the protocol was MADE to be unstoppable.
