I agree with Shawn. Here are my thoughts from regular person's perspective. I am here to connect and be social because I quit using FB because of their censorship policies. If my hubstr didn't walk me through all of the steps, I wouldn't have bothered. I am not a techie, nerd, or geek or whatever qualifications that you have to have to understand how all this works. I am just a girl that wants to share her life stories with other like-minded people, preferably people that I know in real life too. And I have a basic understanding of how nostr works so I know there can't be censorship, so I have a big appreciation for that. I just happen to be married to a Bitcoin junkie that is in to all of this stuff and could set it up for me. So until it becomes plug-n-play, it is going to be an uphill battle to get more people.
That’s the problem. People don’t care what Nostr is. They only care if they can follow their friends, family and favorite celebs. Until they can do that, no amount of onboarding effort will matter. And yes, of course that’s a chicken-and-egg problem.
And I hate to say it folks, but all the different clients makes it even more confusing. 99% of people just use the default web browser that comes with their device. They don’t even know what the app is called. Nor do they care.
When iOS and Android each come shipped with their own default Nostr app, and it’s just called something super generic like “Social”, then we’ll start the real adoption.
Or, ya know, we just convince Taylor Swift to move 100% to Nostr. That’d work too.
nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 you were asking for progressive non-bitcoiners to interview? Go after Taylor Swift.
