I’m learning what makes this is platform so special is that it’s turgid with brilliant minds at the cutting edge. Developers — drop a comment for what you’re working on (and a simple explanation), and I’ll pick the most interesting and give them 150,000 sats. I’ll let this go for a few hours before choosing. Have to run for now. See you soon! Post away!

Why not give each idea 150,000 sats rather than picking the most interesting? At this point, they’re all most likely innovative ideas. For example, I want to create an app that rivals Amazon’s 3rd Party Marketplace that will allow sellers to sell their products without having to pay Amazon a per...

For me as an User #nostr can run by multiple clients and all our Data send into Relay and we control our Media. Also you get appreciate from real user who's send you the Sats (⚡) . And That's why I love hanging around here. Even still buggy sometimes but I kind a like it. 😬😬

Working on https://nostrsites.com It’s an open source nostr client that renders HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from nostr notes. Basically, your code remains decentralized on relays, and Nostr Sites just displays it like Habla displays longform markdown notes.

I want to make this very clear — this is not a @ZBD marketing stunt. No money has been exchanged between Zebedee and me. Not a single sat. This is all of my own volition.

Here’s something you’re going to have to chew on. One of the goals of decentralized protocols like nostr is to prevent any entity from gaining too much power over the flow of information. That includes all the big tech companies. Like Twitter, Google, and yes, Amazon. Deep down, many nostriches...

What is the biggest hurdle Nostr faces? It’s easy to look at things through rose-colored glasses — everyone here is a massive supporter simply by using it, so there’s an inherent bias. Curious how well some can play devil’s advocate…

One of the biggest issues is the inconsistent ways apps implement the protocol and it’s features. We need more developers building the best experiences for onboarding new users. Key management is also critical. nostr:npub1earna05hx6ax38r33h3atmecjzdu547m8suw87w70aw6mlyga4hsqcja5j addresses this ...

1. Privacy. Public-by-default needs to go away eventually. 2. Fracturing of the protocol. Permissionless is great, until no one is willing to adopt one another's standards and you lose interoperability. 3. Capture. Large relays and vertically-integrated clients are the lazy way to get good UX. But s...

Adoption will occurr insofar as the zap economy grows. If people aren't willing to put up their goods & services payable in zaps, &/or others aren't willing to pay for said goods & services, Nostr will stay with a niche user base focused on censorship resistance.

The biggest problem in my view will be dealing with undesired content. This includes both spam and illegal material. Since the protocol is permissionless, any relay can join the network. Any free-of-charge relay will be flooded with garbage, forcing people to use paid relays, which will be a turnoff...

Child sexual abuse material and child sexual exploitation. Create friction and restrict relays that host the content. The community can raise awareness and take a vocal stand against bad actors. Education and awareness can prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

Scalability. Imagine, every relay has to contain at least 90% of all user data, where theoretically each post can be as long as a book & there would be millions of users, each posting several long posts daily.
