As long as it stays decentralized and censorship resistant we will be good. No need to push it too hard, everyone getd NOSTR when they're ready. The glitches will be sorted out.
We unfortunately have 200 other problems to solve besides NIP-47, starting with Nostr content and the attitude towards non-bitcoiners, but this is a big one for sure. I don’t think most folks are ready to move to totally ephemeral pubkeys, and reusing nsecs across experimental, increasingly vibecoded clients is just... dangerous... Nostr really needs to get the basics done right. As a community, we have wasted so many opportunities to scale Nostr already.
I joined about a year and a half ago, during one of the many huge waves of people quitting Twitter. Since then we have lost at least three other opportunities to grow. The last one was the hype around nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0nw62p3’s deVine stuff. Every time one of the non-BTC Twitter experiments shows some promise, Nostr seems to crap its pants.
We really, really need to get the basics right for Nostr to have any chance. I don’t think lightning will keep striking the same place over and over again, and we may not get many more opportunities to make Nostr scale.

Far as I know, about $1m per month in grant funding is being spent on nostr. Maybe more.
If that money dries up before more users come on, that is a real problem.
Needs to be taking into account in your "when they're ready" analysis.
