You're literally single handedly bringing us to Hypernostrization ๐
Spending on ads for a free app with no revenue
Pls sir run it sir I am bad at such things
Social media where being able to send money instantly is a main feature, but clients have no way to monetize themselves.
This seems like a bug ๐ค
Unrelated meme
I don't wanna ask nostr for any money, I don't think we can realistically make a dent, I think we gotta just word of mouth this bitch, the app is legit good for a normie they get a good feed right away
The design is beautiful ๐คฉ
I just mean, I think our very best case is we raise like $500, which buys absolutely nothing. To run a real campaign we need real money
I tried raising a bit for nostr archives that costs $2000/yr to run... I got $11 ๐ซฃ
But I'm down if you wanna be the leader I will endorse and follow
It's blood from a stone, users are tapped out is my sense, bear market too, shoulda done it last year lol
Nice work UtW ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ช ๐ ๐

Where is?
Then fork, remove ads, why would I want open source application to have ads? I'm not sure if that's the way, I'd add an invite me a coffee thing that allows users to send directly to the developers or something like that but ads idk
Donations arenโt scalable. Ads are a model that works and is scalable., theyโre also very productive. The problem with ads has been the privacy aspect. Placement could be categorized by using something similar to how Plausible tracks session data - no visible kyc aspect. The criteria doesnโt have to be for fiat like products it could be for genuinely profitable bitcoin/ freedom tech products. If we keep using the throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks model, itโs going to be gimmicky.
Hardcore ad haters can fork โ> definitely a feature not a bug.
Idk Amethyst has exactly that model as far as I know, zap this release aka donation. I understand can be less scalable indeed but not every user will know how to fork or find the fork done by someone else and have to trust it.
But I understand your point yes, then allow users to enable/disable ads for support? That could be a midterm and many users won't even go settings and see it ๐
Not that I hate ads, but if I can run my relay, clients are open source, I feel it a bit off to force ads but just my vision ofc, and bitcoin products/tech ads sounds good
Not everybody who uses social media wants to run a relay or knows how to. Iโm not sure if this is possible but could a relay be incentivized to show ads as a way to monetize it?
Yeah an option to enable/disable ads would be cool. Most wonโt even be bothered and will be looking to spend.
Yeah the option feels just right, let the user decide and most will keep them on. The relay option I'm not sure either, problem is a client can choose to display or not what receives from the relay, no way to ensure the ad is actually seen ๐ค
Maybe just the fact that the relay is correctly resharing the ad every X events/time is enough as a service tho.
Another issue is that some of the biggest names here have some financial interest in a Wisp competitor (either that invest in it, get grants for it, etc).
This is one reason I think attracting existing users is just as important as attracting new users. Word of mouth and the fact that some of us have invested a lot of ourselves here. Many of us will be here for the new users. That's worth more than the chump sats you'd raise, in my opinion.
this is definitely not an issue, you'll see soon hopefully, things are happening, stay tuned

Also true ๐
Happy to be proven wrong when I'm being a bitchy bear
Who made the design?
