look i understand monetization is important as a business but nostr has been around for a few years now and current users expect that a client's basic features are free - that's kind of the point of nostr, that you own your identity. putting special features like the yakipro behind a subscription makes fine business sense but if someone wants to just log in and read messages and post a note they aren't going to stick around at $12/m (even for us american users that's a high price, i can't imagine global community can afford that). just look at folks like @FLASH who put in hard work to post and try to earn an income on nostr and who've put out their earnings publicly. no one is making that kind of money from posting on nostr. a lot of nostr users are bitcoiners too and seeing all this monetization talk in app around fiat rather than sound money is another turnoff. then there's the whole issue of the frost/pomegranate Google login which imo is a terrible idea. it was tried years ago with nsecapp and failed miserably. i personally lost keys to an account from it. the whole idea seems easy for a new user but is insanely technically complex and so easy to rug because it has the weakness of a "trusted" third party baked in and you end up in a situation where you never own your pubkey. see @alp great article on this:

end of the day, i love the new features! they are excellent enhancements and much needed in the nostr ecosystem. but it think the business model is going to turn OG nostr users to other clients and that's the sad part for me as someone who as championed Yakihonne for nearly 2 years - i don't feel like i can recommend it to new users for onboarding anymore. 😭
