Thank you for the great article! I found it very interesting, so I wanted to leave a comment.

1.Nostr is a tool, not a revolution

I completely agree with this. As you mentioned, Nostr has mostly become a place where people just talk about how great Nostr is. Despite its supposed greatness, there are fewer than 1,000 active Japanese users.

2.Nostr doesn’t solve the multiple social accounts problem

This was a very interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered before. I agree that one key is tied to one social graph. In Japan, it seems that offline interactions among Nostr users are actively taking place. In such cases, services that allow login via Nostr (such as scheduling tools) are being used. This seems to support your argument.

3.Nostr is not for censorship resistance

I don’t fully agree with this. I believe Nostr was created for censorship resistance. However, I don’t think its true value is maximized as just a Twitter clone. I believe Nostr’s killer app will be something related to freedom of speech.

4.Grants come with a price

I think the fundamental problem is that decentralized systems are not profitable. This was also pointed out in the case of Mastodon. I can’t think of any alternative to relying on OpenSats...

In the end, I think the real issue is that Nostr’s killer product has yet to be created. I really respect and support your efforts to build something meaningful.
