GM!
Still sick today sadly but work continues nonetheless! Today I'm planning my potential pleblab top builder project https://www.topbuilder.dev/
I want to build a course/bootcamp platform that interoperates with nostr. I'll need to be able to pull in videos (most likely hosted on YouTube) and allow users to organize them into a course, resource, or bootcamp structure (which is basically just an ordered hierarchy of materials) I'll just say this is something I want to have in good condition for plebdevs over the next 6 months 🤫
We're also having a top builder takeover at the Austin Bitcoin Club tonight! Have you thought about joining, is there anything you would like to build?
I have fears about building on Nostr because the future of relay-running without clear financial incentives makes the network appear unsustainable to me. Has there been any noise in the space discussing how this could be achieved? I remember reading the Damus relay was going to get shut down but did that actually ever happen? I hope that gets figured out though since a big player like that monetizing and turning a profit (or even breaking even) could do a lot for the space.
What would be really useful to me is a survey of all decentralized protocols to get high level signals into what is worth investing time into. I'm not saying it's not Nostr, but I haven't seen much discussion on the business side of things regarding relay operation when I think it should be the next main area of focus for Nostr development. Maybe a hackathon using this as a topic would help.

There are already paid relays like nostr.wine out there in case you didn't know
But I guess and hope this isn't the pinnacle of business models built on top of nostr

I didn't know about nostr.wine but it's definitely a step in the right direction!

Well, I guess many relay operators will be incentivized by wanting their particular business or functionality on the network. However, I wonder if some kind of auto-zapping of a very small fee for posting content, or zap revenue sharing from content creators could have potential.
