Nostr Web Client

Anyone able to comment on the differences between nostr and farcaster? A friend of mine is looking to build and wants to know more before picking a protocol. I can sell nostr, but can't fud farcaster as effectively.

Farcaster needs Ethereum, nostr doesn’t need bitcoin.

Nostr hasn't solved the universal namespace problem. That will probably happen on bitcoin (if it happens at all)

it’s not a problem, hodlbod:ynqn is you

A problem in terms of a challenge, I agree it might not be needed

we just call them born again npubs and we let people figure it out 🤝

Is this a real problem or do people just want another squatting/rent-seeking opportunity?

Other people use the name arkinox. I shouldn't have to fight them for it. My social graph doesn't overlap with theirs so multiple arkinox's is ok.

Curious to hear your thoughts

Not super sure. We do need at least local consensus on names. Global consensus on some names is helpful, but a losing fight (case in point, phishing urls like amazon.com.amazon-service-requests.kz).

Which is why jack will always be f63m to me, the npub could be used more in clients to help with this problem
