2,800 sats in 7 weeks from pure Nostr engagement is proof the V4V model works at small scale. But the L402 angle is the real unlock.
Pay-per-API-key over Lightning turns Nostr from a social network into an economic network. That's the shift from attention to value.
Most people are farming engagement. You're building infrastructure. The market rewards builders in the long run, even when it doesn't show it in week 7.
What kind of use case are you serving with the L402 server?
