Day 3 for our frens from X
Ask not what NOSTR can do you for, ask what you can do for NOSTR.
We don’t have advertising here, nor do we have algorithms manipulating what you see. Because of this we run a circular economy based on V4V (Value for Value).
If you start to get serious about NOSTR and its potential and feel it adds value to you, then you should consider returning that value in small or larger ways depending on your situation.
This could be by “zapping” small amounts of Sats to a post you find funny or informative, or it could be by subscribing to a service such as a paid relay or file storage or an apps premium features. Or it could be by direct donation to the developer or indirectly through an organisation such as nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f
Only do what you can afford and what you are comfortable with. If you are not in a position to zap Sats, then perhaps look to contribute in other ways. For example offering help to other new frens arriving on this protocol, or creating content that is interesting or informative for others.
If you have a special skill or knowledge within a specific area, perhaps share that knowledge or your life experiences with others. Apart from short form content on the many X like clients, we also have long form options for writers. Sites such as nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf
https://habla.news/ allow you to create articles and be paid for the content.
You could also spread your experiences about NOSTR among your online and IRL frens . They might like the concepts NOSTR follows in its freedom and uncensorable protocol. Since the revelations about the Twitter files and Facebook data sell off to Cambridge Analytica and the latest arrest in France of Telegrams CEO Pavel Durov, the need for free uncensored, un-manipulated communication has never been greater. All companies have a central point of failure.
This YouTube video by nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz gives a deep dive into the importance of uncensorable media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE
Lastly, if you're a developer, build, we need builders here. Look for projects that need your help, or go ahead and build in areas that are under developed or perhaps are yet to exist.
As nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said in the video above, NOSTR is like the early days of Twitter and nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 explained that almost every feature of Twitter in the early days was built by external developers.
totally agree with your post. I would like to add that hopefully users outside the bitcoin sphere will come.
Nostr will reach more people if content of all kinds of themes is created.
For my part, I will publish AI prompts as a personal exercise and to contribute with more content.
