I hear you. I want nostr to be embedded in our entire civilization too.

But for now in nostr's adoption cycle, we're more likely to confuse or turn people off ("gross, another crypto grift") than convert them.

I think its perfectly reasonable to have a valuable product that people adopt and love and purple pill the shit out of them in the developer docs when they're ready sold and curious to learn more.

GM sir.

I hear what you’re saying but how many bad product marketing pages has things like “written in Go” or some other programming language/implementation detail some nerd thought was relevant but didn’t affect the product?

Buzz didn’t need to use nostr. The marketing page listing benefits and features would be the same regardless if it were a nostr relay or a some REST server.

But nostr is cool, and I think they should find a way to make it more enticing like “infinitely extendable” showing off how a whole open ecosystem of tools and agents can use the data generated by buzz.

Idk bad example I’m not a marketer but basically if you put nostr on the marketing page you should tie it to a use case the average customer genuinely cares about.

People don’t need to know about nostr on the marketing page unless it provides a clear unique benefit around a job-to-be-done. But definitely on developer docs.

I see this as a win regardless

I tried to zap you but I couldn’t get an invoice

running a node is great. i recommend everyone run one.

but you do it to protect yourself, not enforce policy on others.

Convincing plebs node running is virtuous to boost sales…

How much bitcoin does your node receive and verify on your behalf?

in college I named all my serializers "derulo"

Definitely better with words. We're still hashing every TX twice lol
