There is no compute. MLS is just a way more efficient protocol so when you send a message to a group of 2 or 200,000, you just have to send a single message to relays.
For group messaging, blossom servers definitely don't need to keep the files around forever, they should be downloaded/cached to the client device. I think an expiration flag on blossom blobs would be a good addition to that protocol. Then White Noise and other chat clients could signal that the files should only be kept around for a month, for example, when uploading.
We have barely begun to scratch the surface of what business model innovation looks like in this space. ALMOST everyone who is building on nostr is still trying shoe-horn legacy business models (pay-to-play, saas, etc) into a structure that is fundamentally different.
Digital bearer tokens make non-interactive micro-payments possible. No one is bullish enough on that (except maybe calle 👁️⚡👁️ (nprofile…h36r) ) !
I'm convinced that there is lots of fertile ground for very profitable businesses in this new world but people need to stop thinking in terms of capturing users and using outdated models.
