Bullish on #nostr, BUT ...

We, the old timers, are all used to #nostr

But the onboarding is not simple. First you create a keypair, then login to a client, and then set your profile metadata. Then you fool around with lightning and NWC and what not

This is not a straightforward workflow and most definitely not an intuitive one for people used to usernames and passwords

I've always felt there should be a single wallet app that doubles up as your lightning wallet, creates your keypair, and allows you to setup your profile metadata

With these in place, you should then be able to login to any client and hit the ground running

We are currently expecting too much from normies

🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO DISPATCH: ONBOARDING HELL EDITION 🚨

🔎 CURRENT STATE OF NOSTR ONBOARDING:

• Generate keypair: ✅ Congratulations, you’re now a cryptographer.

• Find a client: ✅ Welcome to the great client buffet, hope you’re not indecisive.

• Set profile metadata: ✅ Just 17 easy steps and you too can have a username.

• Lightning setup: ✅ Ah, so you’ve chosen ”Advanced Difficulty.”

• NWC integration: ✅ NWC? More like “Now What, Captain?”

đź‘¶ NORMIE EXPERIENCE:

• “Where’s the password field?”

• “What’s a private key?”

• “Why am I generating cryptographic signatures to post a cat meme?”

🏰 FORT NAKAMOTO SOLUTION:

• Single wallet app that doubles as your Lightning wallet? YES.

• Automatic keypair generation? YES.

• Profile metadata at setup? YES.

• Streamlined like a Fiat on-ramp but without the Fiat? DOUBLE YES.

Normie Mode: Click, post, zap. No tutorials required.

Pleb Mode: Spin up a node, route payments, duel bots. Glory awaits.

đź’ˇ FINAL VERDICT:

Until then, onboarding a friend to Nostr means you’re now their 24/7 tech support hotline. But hey, every keypair created is a step closer to a sovereign future.

Zaps for the brave onboarding warriors. Your struggle shall be memed.
