Nostr Web Client

Nostr's data is growing all the time. I feel more and more user interaction. Don't be confused by the statistics. If you need nostr, keep posting and keep zapping. #Nostr will be unstoppable. I will not stop using nostr because the statistics show that only a few people are active that day. And ignore the posts and #Zap ⚡️ of my friends who are really active. 🫂💜

Daily active users: 13,409.

Weekly active users: 32,039.

Total zaps: 3,059,134.

Daily note events posted: 688709.

People are always scared by wrong statistics. Just like being scared by the data of the Federal Reserve. There are often statistical errors in the data of nostr.band due to data lag. I don't know if it is because the data of all relays needs to be pulled for manual review every once in a while.

#[2] Do you know the reason for the lag in nostr.band's statistics

Awesome, #[4]. Thank you for your great work. 🫂

The previous drop in user activity scared the #nostr OGs. They almost gave up and left nostr 🤣

Yeah let's pretend it was a test for bullshitness

🤣 I didn't know you had such a good sense of humor.

🫂💜

hey bto. I tried to zap you several times but failed. I see you haven't received any zaps since May 11th. Is there something wrong with your wallet address?

The data here is inconsistent with the detailed statistics below. Maybe it needs to be updated.

Are there plans to show monthly active users and quarterly active users

brugeman 1y ago

I don't see an inconsistency. No such plans atm.

Maybe didn't update the data here.

zaps shown here: 2,883,372. Detailed data shows zaps: 3,059,134.

Maybe I misunderstood 👀

Indeed these numbers don't match, will take a look

A tiny, but robust niche. This is the way.

yup

The trend matters and linear growth is not enough. As KPI we need exponential growth or it will remain a drop in the bucket aka super ultra niche. If you are celebrating 3M zaps as if it was great news, you know little about adoption curves.

I have high hopes for nostr and zaps and especially the "other stuff" but these stats don't look too promising.

There is currently not enough that attracts the average internet user to join & stay. I am on Damus right now and I find my timeline to be much less entertaining than X or IG.

We need more than just bitcoin talk, probably algorithms as well.

If you need a smooth timeline, you can try Freerse.

Leo Wandersleb 1y ago

I avoid the "for you" tab on Xitter and IG I never wanted to use at all as yes, it's easy to feed a human with infinite amounts of stimuli but I don't want to be that human.

That said, nostr gets more engaging as you participate and add follows. Most clients by default show only your follows and as you start without follows ... that's dull ;)

“Social onboarding” will fix this.

Great work!

Leo Wandersleb 1y ago

I logged in with extension and clicked on "go to invite" and it linked me to https://nostrmeet.me/leo@nostr.info which gave me an internal server error.

OK. That was just poor timing on my part … breaking the live app when trying to get “link previews” working this am … sorry.

Should be fixed now:

https://nostrmeet.me/leo@nostr.info

Feeds are coming. I think this could change things somewhat. You can also currently follow hashtags on clients eg amethyst. Add mute words and phrases to remove bitcoin slogans for eg.

I think feeds will help a great deal. Seems like they're around the corner maybe?

The network effects and breadth of content needs to be improved.

I agree, but that is a far more complex problem lol. Could take years, could never happen, especially with twitter being somewhat more hands-off.

I don't think nostr-as-microblogging will ever be its most successful implementation. We are currently just using a dev chatroom for the wider nostr protocol lol. That's how I see it anyway.

This isn't even nostr's final form. As they say.

If nostr had a CEO and a board of directors, the board would agree with your KPI assessment criteria, and investors would withdraw funds to liquidate nostr and declare nostr dead.

Unfortunately, nostr is just a decentralized protocol. This loose collaboration requires you to like and use nostr. If you have a good idea that can improve KPIs, please build it. We are building it.

For decentralized protocols, slow is fast.

It may take a while …

I 💯 agree something needs to pop the lid of this … currently a bit of chicken and egg problem, but hopes are high. We might have also just not have the right building blocks yet … but i feel they are on the way .. small incremental improvement until lift off 🚀

🎯💯

Leo Wandersleb 1y ago

I share your optimism. We are building network effects with one app's data making other apps feasible. With people getting npubs make nostr integration for legacy apps meaningful but I would feel more secure about my hypothesis if the data would show some exponential growth.

Looking forward to your built products 🤙

Same we are just very early and adoption will probably follow a more burst 💥 model I think once and a while like something hits mainstream news about Nostr or something but we’ll see .. only time will tell if our optimism was naive, but I still am bullish 🚀

Nostr doesn’t need exponential growth, this is not a unicorn startup.

*cough*

Wait, then what were all those tokens I bought for!?

Brunswick 1y ago

Exponential growth leads to massive destruction. Sustained or parabolic growth is a mark of health.

Even negative growth is good. That way only the very few that have similar values remain.

CraigTheSpaceBum 1y ago

As long as 2 people use nostr. It's already won 🏆

We are so early. We only need 2.

Nice feel-good meme but I'm not here to build an ultra-niche product. I have much higher hopes. I hope we can replace platforms with protocols. Let's not just make Twitter obsolete but also Uber, AirBnB, MyHammer, Amazon, ...

Let a thousand apps flourish that connect people who want to offer something with people that have this something. No more Uber cornering the market with 50% fees. No more Amazon forcing sellers to not offer their products cheaper on their website where they don't have to pay Amazon a fee. No more MyHammer that goes by a different name in every city and I still don't know how to find a plumber. I want a fix and not feel cozy about the same 3 OG nostr clowns I've known since 2022 giving me a GM and a GN every day.

Currency of Distrust 1y ago

Exactly! Exponential growth is out of the VC playbook and leads to awful decisions in favor of growth at all costs.

Just a man 1y ago

Totally agree, Nostr just needs to keep building for what the current users want.

It just suffered a huge dip in active users though

There may be a lot of people active in places you don't notice.

It's still mostly Fediverse users now via relay.mostr.pub.

There was a slight bound back from a huge dip

Bring your frens

I haven't used this relay yet. I've used the Japanese relay before, and the Japanese user community is very active.

Maybe you can also follow some users in the Thai community. Very active community

The translation in the nostr apps is terrible. Makes it better off ignoring them

😂yeah. Then you're missing a third of nostr's users.

Freerse's translation of short sentences is OK. Long paragraphs of text don't translate well. I spent most of my time manually copying to Google Translate. Google Translate is also not as good as Gemini, I don't know why Google didn't incorporate Gwmini into Google Translate.

at first when i look at this image i wonder if the cat is dead... two years ago i had a cat die on me for the first time, not just disappear, and now it always comes back to me - i know that they often look completely static, and you look closer and you see their lungs expanding and shrinking but yeah... the little kitties such short and rough lives they live

Yup, be skeptical of metrics. If feedback and metrics don't match, trust the feedback-Bezos

Having ridden a shitcoiner community usercount chart just like this which turned out to only be 1% real players and 99% bots gaming the platform.. I’d keep my tinfoil hat on for another 4 years

Real people here carry sats

about 20,000x less monthly users than X, and some posts are still getting zapped 100,000 sats +.

The v4v economy is going to be wild.

I can't seem to zap you
