I am writing a public article that is partially about Nostr.

What are some easy-to-miss Nostr details that would be worth mentioning? Audience will be a mix of bitcoiners and general macro/investing audience. Mostly I sm writing for the latter- people who may not have heard about it yet.

I already included a Nostr section in my latest private research report, and included a slide about Nostr in a guest lecture at Princeton last week. I am spinning up my research on it over time, with public articles and broader reach being the next phase.

What weโ€™ve learned over the past few years is that diversification of decentralized protocols creates a more secure world. Building a parallel economy to fiat with user-friendly, easy adoption interfaces is high priority. The ease of using Lightning on this platform, the paywithmoon.com ability ...

#[2] posted this on Twitter a few days ago. Once a developer working on a Nostr app told me the best thing about Nostr was that all the developers who once wished to write social networking but were unable to -- because they would never get enough network-effect for their apps to become mildly usef...

it's too early to conclude Nostr's applications today because they are all at nausual stage to serve as Twitter knockoff, notwithstanding it's the protocol itself fully potential to be a layer of future stack. It can be used perfectly as a global sensing system to support economy or disaster alert...

The low cost for anyone to run a relay using Umbrel is powerful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjNa1MKvdrs

Private relays, and selectable relay-sets, will be nice, so I can swim with the Reddit-like masses if I want, or I can pare back to a smaller universe with higher signal in both posts and replies

A few points: Social networks is but one application of nostr. โ€”โ€”- Applications transcend their domain: a social network app transparently / effortlessly moonlights as a marketplace app, a chat app, and anything in Nostr. โ€”โ€” Current implementations are all encumbered by the lack of smar...

Allow me to put my marketing wizard's hat on: NOSTR does not suppress posts that link externally. Your audience might appreciate you highlighting that if they are looking to build an audience, NOSTR is more valuable than Twitter if your goal is to then use this as a top of funnel to drive attenti...

Internet protocol connects machines and leads to the unprecedented continuous optimization of what is achievable by machine cooperation. Nostr protocol connects people and can lead to the unprecedented continuous optimization of what is achievable by human cooperation. Imagine that!

The message is the medium. Even in its twitter-clone phase, the fundamental nature of the open nostr protocol shapes the messages being relayed in a way that feels far more organic than the synthetic discourse across the captured legacy social platforms, that have twisted and distorted incentive mod...
