Before bringing millions of users we have to bring the small group of nerds and enthusiasts that would naturally be interested in what we're doing just so they can help build it.

I’m here !

We love you

Yessssss This is why we are here 🫑

Sounds like a good path forward.

we are early, too early. #growNOSTR

Fiatjaf,

I have been wanting to inject nostr-centric news and developments into the Bitcoin And . . . podcast. Are there any spaces I can enter that makes it easier to find out what kinds of things are going on in nostr development?

I don't know of any. I think you can listen to the TGFN and NoSolutions podcasts, the Bitcoin.Review and Citadel Dispatch episodes about Nostr, the Rabble, jb55 and Pablo talks in past conferences and invite these people to your podcast, that might be a good start. I guess some of the topics I mentioned above are only in mind so it's my job to talk about them (although I have written about them in Nostr notes and articles that were read by very few in the past), but most of the others you can get from these sources. Maybe read past notes and articles and follow nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr, nostr:npub1useke4f9maul5nf67dj0m9sq6jcsmnjzzk4ycvldwl4qss35fvgqjdk5ks, nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9, nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c, nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg, nostr:npub1v3tgrwwsv7c6xckyhm5dmluc05jxd4yeqhpxew87chn0kua0tjzqc6yvjh, nostr:npub1w9llyw8c3qnn7h27u3msjlet8xyjz5phdycr5rz335r2j5hj5a0qvs3tur and others I'm forgetting. There is also a NIP-29 group for NIP-29 on the 0xchat relay that should have some discussion too, but not enough, it's somewhat dead.

It's a big project.

NostrReport was too frequent, and talked too much about what people were doing and saying on Nostr. We need a thing that is just about the technology and open possibilities, another, completely unrelated, about the gossip and stuff like that.

Maybe (although I did like that), but they did at least cover most of the development happening

is there anything you don't like?

I logged back into my Facebook just to show people how easy it is to use.

I think the choice of different apps intimates people.

Anyone got recommendations for a merchant client that works on Android? I really wanna start selling seeds on here

You don't need a merchant client, you can just sell seeds

nostr:npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 sells blanket and stuff the old fashioned way on here

I'm so amused you say it's the old fashioned way πŸ˜†

The ancient methods carry on in the new world πŸ€™

the purest form of commerce!

afaik there's no android specific merchant client. you can look at shopstr or plebian market.

or you can do it the "old fashioned" πŸ˜† way like I do.

I am doing ma part πŸ˜…

πŸ’― trying as hard as i can

Couldn't agree more

this is my first comment using nostr.

only just recently was i naturally led to this project and over the last few days i've been reading through the nips.

considering using it for my app

Newcomers weren't supposed to see our dirty laundry here. You were supposed to arrive and find a clean house and happy people.

Just kidding. Since you're here may I ask what has gotten you interested on Nostr and why aren't you cheering for our mortal enemy, Bluesky, instead?

bluesky is dope, but their dev docs are really not as easily digested as nips are, imho

you must be retarded if you think bkuesjy is dope

haha, well the warm welcome is happy enough for me πŸ™‚

funny enough i don't use social media much despite building a decently successful one. i have nothing against twitter/x, instagram, bluesky, whatever -- my main purpose of using these is the value of the content, not the security, data privacy, or protocol underlying them.

i stumbled into nostr cuz i'm currently building/playing around with the idea of a niche chat app that prioritizes it's specific purpose/values and security is kind of an afterthought.

i looked into matrix/federated stuff but it's pretty complex and has its drawbacks.

the simplicity of nostr protocol is most attractive to me. and the idea that it could be used to create a better, decentralized signal is awesome.

i'm not crazy about crypto, but decentralization is cool, and web3 style login is awesome.

I find it amusing that you're judging Nostr by the quality of the current content and still staying here given that you're not from the Bitcoin bubble, but thank you for making me believe that was possible.

I'm just hoping that you stay more and build something cool with all the simplicity.

It's not _that_ simple though, the apparent simplicity hides many complexities the moment you leave the "naΓ―ve mode", which is to hardcode some static relays and work from there (a stage that many Nostr apps haven't left yet), but even with complex relay selection that can't be abstracted away I don't think it's too complicated either.

It has always be so, just like bitcoin and linux before that.

Thank fuck for the small groups of nerds and enthusiasts ... someone has to do it and no one else knows how to ...

What next dude

i sent you an email

did you get it ?

right

The only true value add net positive technologies out there seem to be built this way. Thankful for the nerds!
