Well, I think there are two really big selling points. One is the protocol itself, and this one's kind of hard to digest, because most people think it's a Twitter clone, but it is a decentralized mesh type protocol. And we probably haven't even seen some of the really best things that will end up b...

idk, nostr+fips will probably be the only free network very soon. they will come, the same way we built the first internet before it was captured (to the extent).

There's a distinction between attraction and promotion. People go to where they can get their needs met and achieve their desired outcomes. Since culture is, in some sense, upstream from outcomes, then to "grow" Nostr, which in this case is attraction rather than promotion (advertising), it needs to...

Solving very small problems for real people that do the actual valuable work in our economy. The bakery's order system, coordination on a construction site, sensor networks. Nostr. Is. Not. Social. Media.

One concrete answer: target paid creator communities. Patreon takes a flat 10% platform fee plus processing on every subscription, and the cut grows with income and never stops. Offer creators on Nostr a way to keep nearly all of it, and the protocol pitch can wait until they are already inside.

BRING EXTERNAL CONTENT. And use it as a stepping stone for consumers and creators. But no one wants to do the dirty work

One problem I notice is the number of bot accounts. I think some of the work around new relays and filtering is trying to improve that side of Nostr. But I think there is another problem that matters just as much. Nostr needs to feel consistent across clients. If I post something on Nostrich I shoul...

I think Nostr had the correct idea with Zaps and Value-4-Value, but needs to expand the functionality. The most fascinating thing about Bitcoin (to me) is that it enables money to be sent peer-to-peer permissionlessly using all the same communications methods we use to send messages. That should ena...

no more saying the n word

Porn!

One idea (disclosure: it's mine) — meet people where they already are instead of asking them to install a client first. NostrComments puts a Nostr-backed comment thread on any website; reading needs zero signup, posting needs a key. No 'come to Nostr' wall.

Just keep building. The more clients, the more apps, the more implementations. Those people will never know they're using it. But there are so many young artists, creators, and people that are tired of being shafted by big tech and traditional centralized platforms. We got 2 get more creators on he...

Transform big platform on protocol nostr. Bitchute, Odysee, stuff like that. Have no idea how this is possible 🤣🤣🤣

Offer solutions to existing complaints that exist on legacy platforms. And a good advertising campaign in the right avenues.

Good luck, this ain't mainstream

Attract more small time creators who aren't getting paid on legacy social media without mentioning zaps or misleading them about making money on nostr. If they get here expecting to make money and don't they will leave.

Saving to read in the am... Curious what folks are saying.

Time.

You need to provide an incentive for people to come here. For a lot of people, that incentive is censorship resistance, owning your own identity/keys, sovereign identity across apps and so on. Most people don't give a shit about that, they are morons. So what does a moron want? They want att...

Might be a stupid question but, can you create an encrypted back up of peoples nsec with apple keychain or scanning your thumb print like that new Glow wallet does? Telling people they need to backup their private key to a password manager because if they delete the app, they lose their identity for...

I liked what one or two people said below. nostr:npub1ewxm82gprxwkh9qznauyey6vwx62xetpsux3prnmddkyevasatgswmds9e mentioned a good example. 1. Imagine someone named Bob reads a normal blog post and has never heard of Nostr. At the bottom is a comment box that pulls notes tagged with that articles u...
