Part of what makes SN work as a circular economy is the closed ecosystem of it, right? Like the whole pay to post and get paid from comments doesn’t really work if you open the floodgates.
More exploration needs to be done. I know there are nostr relays that make you pay to post, but SN has more than just that. SN is quite feature-full right now.
Sure, but NS can chose not to show and/or reward those posts and/or comments that aren't paying, keeping the circular economy of NS, just as a larger and more open circle, as well as much more resiliant and fault tolerant, which is good, in my opinion.

To me, that defeats the whole premise of the platform, but maybe your idea can be more fleshed out to explain what you mean
reply
To me that reinforces the premise of the platform, by making it not a platform anymore, while, at the same time, increasing it's resilience and tolerance to fails, when it becomes a decentralize system, not a centralized platform. I'd say, it also might make the cost of operating it lower, although I don't know if that might be of any concern at the moment. Perhaps @k00bideh might want to through some light in that respect.

SN's incentives would need to be enforced in a nostr-based implementation - meaning pay and get paid would need to apply on SN-compliant clients.
If that's achievable, then SN's economy could migrate without problem.

I'm not that involved at a technical level to know for sure, but from what I can understand listening to the developers, the protocol is so simple and open that clients have plenty of room to do things, and therefore that should certainly be possible to implement at the client level. Also, from what I'm seeing people doing in so many different clients, I'd say that it should even be easy. (Again, I'm just a lurker, not an insider, hahaha).

Cool! I'm not saying migrating is trivial (for SN or users), but it's like possible in some fashion.

Well, if you are in conversations with @fiatjaf, then nothing (or almost nothing) is impossible...

On a related matter... what's the preferred way to suggest new features or improvements to SN? Is there any official way I might have missed? Or perhaps the daily discussion thread is the best place?
Anyway, I'd like to suggest something small about notifications, and I'm afraid I'm not gonna be able to help myself and go ahead and do it right here, right now. Sorry! :-)
I like the way notifications work, they are quick and efficient, but the only thing is that when you get a bunch of them at once, because you haven't been around for a while (too bad we have the stupid tendency to sleep for a few hours every day), replies to your own posts or comments don't stand out very well, as do notifications about your rewards.
I'm thinking that'd be easier to see them if they were to be labeled similarly to rewards are with the nice yellow-ish "your post stacked X sats". Maybe something like "someone replied to you" (or something similar) in a different color?
After posting this, but with enough time to edit and ad this last paragraph, I've realized that the bold in front of comments makes that function, but it hasn't been that "visible" to me before. I still think that a little label of a different color might be nice and helpful. :-)

Proposing new features in the daily discussion is good - others can chime in. If there’s some consensus on the problem or the approach to take, then it’s best to make a GH issue
reply
Cool, thanks!
GH meaning github, I guess?
reply
Yes!
