Also interesting, the #Nostr retention rate is actually getting worse. In fact, it's been getting consistently worse, over 6 months. One could say, as client's get more polished, fewer people decide to stay ;) Of course that's probably not the reason.

I just cannot imagine monetization on Nostr yet. Most people aren't used to pay, to store their data. You can reason as much as you want, they will still prefer the 0-cost alternative. And with the number of "premium" relays growing, many users will find themselves locked-out. Can't we come-up with some sort of network funding? Where ultimately ~5% of the users, pay for 100% of the infastructure? A bucket, that's split among relay / proxy and storage operators, based on the capacity they provide (and process). Sourcehut does something like this.

I really, really want to do IPFS for image uploads, but I'm afraid 99% of users will end-up using a http proxy. Even sharing your own files (initially) may be tricky, due to Firewall / NAT.

You can now optionally publish your contacts (following), and fetch contacts for the active account on NostrOS.

What I don't get about vegetarians, that eat plants for the sake of animal welfare - what about plant welfare? We understand next to nothing about plants, and based on the lack of knowledge, we've come to decide, that it's better to kill plants, because they are less relatable?

> Wisdom of the Crowd It's a good joke.

Why not IPFS for Nostr? When a relay copies a post, they simply need to pin the image, for redundancy. For mobile clients, we can run IPFS-HTTP proxies.
