I obviously agree about the importance of a good UX. But it cannot replace knowing and picking the right values (=features) in the first place.

A great UX should alleviate the pain that necessarily a new protocol introduce, and we should treat users with respect creating a dialogue around these values, don't just try to attract them with easy and appealing solutions. We win explaining what matters, why it matters, and offering good software that makes that obvious and enjoyable.

I agree. Privacy and decentralization is the reason why I chose to develop B2B software on top of Nostr.

My point is that if we want to win, we need to appeal to the regular user, and not just the forward looking user who is willing to put up with bad UX because of privacy gains.

Absolutely.

Nostr does not inherently have privacy. Why do people keep believing this myth?

Nostr is a cryptograhically confirmed public identity. It's almost the opposite of private.

You are right. I use gift wrapped events to add a layer of privacy. It’s not perfect but if relays only serve gift wrapped events to their intended recipient, it’s reasonably private
