To do CloudFlare the nostr way: Services (behind a firewall) can pay public servers to give them a tunnel to a public ip address. They could do that to several servers at once, where the provider's sole business could be fending of spam. If one of em causes too much spam you could just cut it off. An interesting thought i'm having now is you could selectively reveal some of your ip addresses to your WoT, so your service always stays up for them, even if you're under attack through the publicly known IP's. I did a half-assed experiment named 'NoPorts' that would provide such a service. Anyone that likes to further explore this concept should join @Sovereign Engineering in March next year!

Decentralized github alternative over Nostr

Getting users (or sponsors) to actually pay what it costs to host large distributed infra

To get a performant architecture on this and make the incentives work is really tricky, but we think we've cracked it. Lighting is still too heavy, so we put chaumian microcredits on the wire. There are a whole set of integrated problems that you kind of have to solve at the same time to get this to work, but once you do, it all snaps together
