I am experimenting with some simplified messaging for #nostr #safebox. This is what I’ve landed on so far:

‘Move value. Prove facts. Your way.”

I am trying to stay away from words that turn people’s brains off immediately- ‘decentralized’, ‘freedom’, ‘censorship-resistant’ - not that I don’t want to use them, but I don’t want to be the guy alone in the corner at parties. I also want to stay away from words like ‘payment’ and ‘verifiable’ because for most people, this is impenetrable techno-jargon.

Anyway, I’d love feedback!

Good direction. I always suggest zooming in on problems to solve, jobs to be done—in the customer's words. For example, who wakes up and says I need to move value and prove facts today? It instantly reframes it. They key is to identify the most pronounced pain or job for the largest segment of...

I’d just use common words to explain what it does. What problem does it solve? “Have you ever … wasn’t that a pain? Safebox fixes that by…”

Sorry, but until today I haven't found out what your tool is about. I have seen a lot of your posts here and even listened to a full podcast episode with you. Maybe it's just me? 🤔

In my opinion, «prove facts» is a little unclear, especially for your average person. Why would I need to prove facts? Are they not facts? How can they be proved? Says a lot in two words though, so not sure how I would improve it.
