Creating prompts is becoming a very valuable skill, but it's hard to monetize.

The moment you expose the prompt/template for others to fork, it leaks value.

Crypto has the potential to enforce monetization + provenance for creators to earn through a variety of means.

Do you envision a hidden prompt that specifies it's value/action, then a user can pay, add specific details, then submit for response? 

I could see a LOW cost and a wallet integration that can simply deduct let's say 5 cents for using a particular prompt. 

Or you could go the Youtube monetization route and let the platform distribute funds to prompt creators depending on usage.

I’d love to see more novel monetization strategies emerge, but the hardest part is onboarding users. 

Big models already have that advantage and can A/B test and smaller companies can find gaps. 

I’d personally like a pay per use model on the platform, make it cheap and easy for a user to start. Maybe a $10/m subscription, then each time these use a prompt part of the credit is distributed to the creator. 

With provenance tracking or some kind of verification, you get everything you want. 

Ultimately you want creativity of prompts to run wild and don’t want to hinder nuanced similar prompts. 

I pay for OpenAI right now, $20 is well worth what I can do with this. 

To have a library of easily searchable powerful prompts that I don’t have to manage and store myself would be great. 

I think the art will be in how the platform guides you to the prompt you want.

Yeah, I think there are definitely a few ways:
 1) privacy-preserving via TEEs to hide the prompt template 
 2) the youtube path, which could be done without crypto and just use crypto as a payments solution (and may be what OpenAI's social network looks like)
3) Some way to track provenance on a blockchain via an NFT then users can fork it and some portion of revenue flows back to users 

Still a bit fuzzy on the winning approach for rn.
