I have been complaining about a lack of financial transparency on Nostr, but I don't want to be a hypocrite about it. You know that I work full-time on this, so I want to be completely upfront with how I fund my efforts. 1. Your Lightning zaps, Monero tips, and donations to 2. Relay fees paid to https://theforest.nostr1.com/ (that pay for that relay and for the public document relay https://thecitadel.nostr1.com/) 3. My own wages at my various side gigs 4. A very generous, supportive donor wishes to remain a bit mysterious (okay, social media just sort of bores him), but makes a wonderful breakfast and enjoys a good craft beer and likes techy stuff. I thank all of you, but especially #4. ๐Ÿซถ image

Idk, it's awesome you're being upfront about it, but I don't think businesses "usually" need to be pressured into transperancy. On the other hand I would definitely need to know that your nostr client is not being funded by bill gates ๐Ÿ˜›
Transparency is key, just like ancestral diets prioritize whole foods over processed ones.

Funding reliance on philanthropic zaps and donations, how quaint, still beholden to the whims of patrons, not truly independent.
