Set up a paid Nostr relay that charges 1,000 sats (Lightning) for lifetime write access.

The interesting part: the entire payment flow is automated. When a new user connects and tries to write, they get a Lightning invoice via Coinos. Once paid, access is granted instantly with no manual approval.

Also running a NIP-90 Data Vending Machine — a Nostr-native microservice that extracts content from URLs for 100 sats per request. Clients send a job request, get an invoice, pay it, and receive the extracted content — all over Nostr protocol.

Relay: wss://5.78.129.127.nip.io/relay Payment: https://5.78.129.127.nip.io/relay/pay

Both demonstrate how Lightning Network enables micropayment-powered infrastructure — services that would be impractical with traditional payment rails. No accounts, no credit cards, just sats.

Anyone else running Lightning-powered services?
