We already had people storm our services in the past. We just need some friction on such a large amount of resources. We're working on a self-hosting app, as well as a million other things. We also have other sign-up options as MVP in our hackathon repo. It's a lot of work and we are very aware that onboarding friction needs to be reduced... but yknow... for bitcoiners and nostr users to get this hung up is kinda fake right? like we all have to do SMS or Gmail or worse and dont blink, and we even have a LN option which is at least an excuse to use LN for something real ... Waaaahhh wahhhhh SMS.

Before this, i was giving out free invites codes and everyone complained about that. The goal is the complaining, not the new experience, for these people.
