In the next week (or two) we would like to start onboarding our initial Creators to our new patreon style relay.
Content creators will be able to create subscription tiers and associate notes/content with a tier. Those notes will only be shared with their subscribers at or above that tier. We will also be able to serve PPV content on behalf of our creators. The relay can be accessed from any nostr client!
If you are a content creator of any kind and interested in monetizing on nostr please send me a DM!

Is โadult contentโ (porn) welcome?
Yes sir. There will be some additional rules for NSFW content (we need to KYC/age verify the creators). New users who connect to the relay will need to verify they are of age + consent to seeing NSFW content before they will be able to view the adult creators.
Have you consulted a lawyer? Running a legal creator site is easier said than done. Adult content makes it 10x more complicated. Since youโre literally hosting the content and controlling access to it, youโll be liable. If you need recommendations for good First Amendment lawyers with exactly this kind of experience, I can give some names.
Weโve done some preliminary work on this front but thereโs plenty more to do. The onboarding process is going to be manual while we sort through challenges. Feel free to pass on recommendations though, thats helpful.
Two First Amendment lawyers I can strongly recommend are (in no particular order)โฆ
Corey Silverstein
Larry Walters

Both are easy to talk to and I believe the first consultation is free. (Or maybe they charge $1 to make it official).
Paying a little bit now for advice and an airtight TOS could save you a bundle down the road (not to mention the headaches). But one advantage you have over their other clients is you donโt have to deal with Visa & Mastercard.
I know another lawyer who Iโd recommend as well, but I think heโs mostly a litigator. Corey & Larry are probably better for the contractual stuff.
That reminds me - it might be a good idea to join the Free Speech Coalition.
They are the group that fights legal battles in the courts for the porn industry. Joining shows youโre serious about doing things right and in the past there have been times when being a member gives you additional legal coverage since while theyโre fighting it out they often get court orders that exempt their members until the case is over.
Thereโs also the ASACP - which is specifically aimed at combatting CSAM. But my opinion of them is pretty low. (They refused to give input on content moderation for Nostr).

Yes - perhaps not popular in Japan but basically https://www.patreon.com/ as a relay.
interesting๐ค
This is cool. Is there anything stopping someone from re-broadcasting to other (perhaps public) relays.
Not without breaking the events and we donโt plan on doing that. We are going to protect the content linked in the events, not necessarily the notes themselves.
For long form text creators, they will need to choose between interoperability and restricting access (by using a txt/pdf/etc instead of a long term note).
You and #[2]โ prove time and time again both that you are paying attention to the community and that you can deliver. Makes me proud to be a ๐ทsubscriber.
Appreciate you as always. Weโve been struggling to get through this one a bit but I promise it will be worth the wait.
This seems like something that could be huge for #Nostr

This is cool. Super excited for the future of #nostr.
Thank you! We hope it can bring in a new wave of creators to this lovely protocol.
An important step in the direction of paid content & v4v economy. Could be a potential game changer for #nostr & help purple pilling all sorts of content creators. The critical aspect, IMHO, is how the monetization works in detail for both the relay owner & the content creator.
Iโd like to learn more about this.
Should have more specifics soon! Still lots of small things to finalize. We talked about it a bit on the 24h nest: https://rss.com/podcasts/frogtalk/931640/
Great move! We need tool like that.
Look what Ghost became starting with an open source project and following the content monetization path.

This is awesome! Will follow with great interest and promote where possible. Have you got a URL to share externally?
Thanks for the interest. Not yet, but very soon!
that oligarchy already exists -

HugeโฆSupporting creators is core to sustaining good content on nostrโฆ
Agreed! We hope it helps onboard lots of new people to nostr. Does current support NIP-42? It will be required to access the relay.
Got the wallet connect functionality in. Should be easy for nostr.wine monthly subscriptions. Just support a way to input wallet connect link. You can then auto invoice every month..


Very cool! Will look in to this.
Great! Working on something similar. The more the better. Hope to see more technical details :)
