Look this is a list of non-KYC VPS hosts linked below
Nostr User:
YES! YES! That's awesome!
Me:
But, keep in mind that both the EU and US have had proposed laws to force KYC in the future, that thankfully failed to pass so far, but someday they could. And emerging market hosts are less reliable for uptime/speed (asia, south america, & africa).
Nostr User:
What should we do?
Me:
Check out Arweave, it's a protocol that has no-KYC static file hosting, a CDN, domain system, and binding smart contracts.
Nostr User:
It's a shitcoin! Ugh I hate shitcoins!
Me:
Well, it's more like a decentralized stock, since the protocol earns revenue from hosting, that's locked into a pool to payout to the providers.
Nostr User:
Well I'm concerned that people will do payments in Arweave, instead of Bitcoin Lightning
Me:
That's unlikely, because Lightning is private and a commodity. While as Arweave coins are uniquely tied to the files you upload. So if you have a website, you wouldn't want everyone to see every non-website transaction you make.
Nostr User:
Well how does it work?
