ten years into the future:
nostr didn't make it, no one uses it, no relays exist
what killed it?
NIP Bloat.
- Implementation possibilities are specd with less and less consideration for each other.
- many overlap in functionality but none are removed or deprecated for “backwards compatibility”.
- Some old school devs pull weight and don’t wanna change.
- some younger devs have no patience for discussion and “patient” integration of “good” ideas.
- devs are burnt out with the “bureaucracy” of maintaining a swamp of standards.
- nips are treated as standalone “islands” serving single use cases.
- inconsistency and inoperability creep across clients and relays, as gate keepers “give up”.
- Users become disillusioned with “the dream” of decentralized cooperation, as nostr dies a slow death due to dwindling adoption.
