can I have your nsec?

Creators need to make a living.

Fair point. I like and prefer value for value. Maybe I'm trying to find a solution that I myself don't actually even support and letting my excitement about growing Nostr get ahead of me. Thanks Steven.

For socials yes but at some point the protocol will need some monetization if only to pay for relays and client development

Nothing exists without business/economic incentives. Nothing is free. Nostr is for freedom but Nostr is not free, nostr relays needs money ( power and storage ) to run.

Ultimately things like IP will fade away imo. Rewarding value at the source, patronage will take over. If the people commit to it. Plenty from the last 10 years shows this is viable. Supporting creators because you want to see more from them, not simple exchange transactions.

Sphinx chat (https://buy.sphinx.chat/) still works and handle paid content very smoothly and flexibly. You can pay (₿ over Lightning⚡️) and folks can pay subscriptions which are paid directly to your Sphinx account (peer-to-peer). Seriously. It's so far ahead of NOSTR in this regard that it's not even worthy of comparison. DM me and I'll set you up with a Lite node. https://buy.sphinx.chat/ It costs a one-time fee of 3000 ṩats (less than $1 USD at today's rates). My Sphinx ID: 022bb41d512e5d265b0073ac78428d522a4637f6c94d7bda8a6840d00ac3965814:02736e7dad83d7205826649fc17db672ce08f8e87a2b47c7785ccbf79f24e91db0:1099657510913

For me, it's more than just pay wall for the sake of money. I like the idea of being able to share with a group stuff not meant for broader public consumption.

sadly greed goes everywhere.

private relay, dm lists, encrypted notes, plenty of options.

Absolutely, I pay now an artist to incentivize future work Paying for work or in this case "information" already done and that can be copied have no sense at all

Exactly, you pay for hope in future work from the creator, not in the work (or i prefer information) already done

Et les règles du droit d'auteur ne sont elles pas respectées dans nostr.? C'est un grand problème d'ordre juridique même me sur un support décentralisé... Autrement nostr deviendrait une jungle de pirateries et d'escroqueries en tout genre donc pas de valeurs morales ni juridiques. Il ne vaudrait pas la peine de créer une plate-forme qui serait un cauchemar de Dante. *Putain* il y a déjà des escrocs dont on soupçonnerait du fait de la renommée.. Ne dysfonctionnons pas même avec des clés la vie numérique demeure

I gladly pay for curation

Derek. Please help. (1) I found my P2PKH private key. The miner will likely receive 50 BTC for generating a NEW BLOCK. (1)(a) How do I compress an uncompressed private key that is Base 58 P2PKH to WIF compressed format so I can import my funds? (1)(b) How do I sign my transaction by generating the signature with my private key from a previous transaction? Do I have to do that because it's P2PKH? (2) Does Nostrgram still work because I cannot see any messages I post there buy I see them in Damus for Android? If so, please contact the Nostrgrsm admin and send this message. Thanks.
