Nostr ecash could turn community compute into a shared AI credit system
sull · x · 2026-07-26
A thread argues that Nostr-enabled ecash “zaps” could become a useful way to sell shared compute. The idea is that a community could run one machine, expose an open model, and let members consume AI from the same hardware while settling usage through an e-cash mint or compute-credit database.
The post frames this as a practical way to make expensive open-model hardware accessible without each person buying and configuring their own setup.
