Nostr Web Client

Nostr is a protocol for the internet and everyone. It's way bigger than "social media". Right now the current network is full of bitcoiners because really they're the ones building decentralized things. Anyone can develop a client that has payments using another currency, btw.

If you want to talk about other things, just do it and you'll find like minded people. 🙂 We're all here to build community and a better internet.

I've got to ask, why the negativity toward Bitcoin? Decentralized sensorship resistant payments are required when building a decentralized network, and Bitcoin fits that well.

Yes. I understand it is a protocol intended to be more than just a social network. Bitcoiners are not the only people building decentralized things.

I think that a social network for notes sharing should be totally decoupled from any currency or payment system. In my opinion it should be just a place to discuss and share content.

I don't have any particular issue against bitcoin. I just think it is very very far away to be the thing that is going cause an important change in the world to make it a better place for all.

As you use it I think it will make more sense and the possibilities require money to be apart of the mix. Decentralized money is needed for a decentralized internet. Very few altcoin projects are truly decentralized money and most of them don't have much going on.

It kinda also ties into the Value 4 Value (https://value4value.info/) system (Nostr/Podcasting 2.0/Etc.). If you find value from something, you can send some value to get more of what you like.

Just a small sample of projects going on with Nostr integration that are not twitter clone/social focused (although all sorta leads back to social through sharing):

Market: https://plebeian.market

Nostr Streaming: https://zap.streaming

Recipes: https://nostr.cooking

Data Storage: https://nostr.build

Games: https://www.thndr.games

Anyway, I'll stop bothering you on this topic. Haha. Have a good night. 😃
