Welcome to #nostr! What kind of art do you do? #introductions

Welcome

#artstr

Welcome - love to see another artist here. 🎨

When you share your art, or any note, try using appropriate hashtags to help others find you. #art and #artstr are good general ones. You can even make up a hashtag for just your art - I use #rustypuppyart so someone can use that if they want to see all of my art on Nostr.

If you like it here and post a lot of notes, you can create a website from your notes using your Nostr account at https://npub.pro - my personal site is https://rustypuppy.npub.pro and I run monthly art challenges as nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m (https://www.nostrartstr.com - also an npub.pro site but with a dedicated domain).

Welcome to nostr! 🫂💜

It’s social 💬 meets freedom and payments.

If your favorite social app had a child 🐣 with CashApp and the baby ate a magic shroom 🍄 to gain new superpowers... that’s Nostr in a nutshell.

What sort of superpowers?

Glad you asked! How about...

Zaps and the power of lightning! ⚡

Got a like? Nice. Got zapped for a comment? Cha-ching!

Send money for content you enjoy with a single click 🤯🥰

Love a meme? Zzzzappp! ⚡

Learned something new? You guessed it, zap! 🤯

It's love in both directions 💜Share something of value? Boom! You get zapped back. 🥹

You’re gonna luv it 🥰

Or stick to likes 💜 - that's cool. Payments are totally optional.

It’s not a single website or an app...

Say what now?

Yeah, it’s all of it. Every app made on Nostr just makes the protocol grow bigger and stronger. Like a raging hulk.

Nostr is like the new internet that connects any app on any platform as long as it’s compatible with some very simple requirements.

It’s powerful 🚀

When a new app plugs into the protocol, it automatically gains access to

ALL OF THE USERS.

Forget building an audience. It’s already here! Just be yourself! 🔥

It’s an entrepreneur’s wet dream. Wait, am I allowed to say this? 😅

Nostr is a giant mythical octopus with huge tentacles, each capable of crushing multi-billion-dollar industries.

🎤 Music, 💋 adult, 💻 creator economy are industries that are only the tip of the iceberg.

Just the tip.

There’s just one catch...

Nostr needs you!

Yes you, handsome developer ⌨️, designer 🖱️, memer, couch potato 🥔, YouTuber, influencer, instagrammer (is that a word?), progressive, conservative, libertarian, mom, dad, son, daughter, hero, villain ...

Someone has to build the new empire.

... and enjoy the journey 😍

Will it be you?

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the boring stuff... censorship resistance, not controlled by any one company (open source), no emails to sign up, no overlords, no de-platforming like tiktok, no shoving ads down your throat like FB...

Some call it a paradigm shift, we just call it another day on Nostr 🤷

Oh, and we’ve got NIPs 😲

(Nostr Implementation Possibilities)

Git yer mind outta the gutter, fren! 🐸

That’s right, there’s more than one way to Nostr. In fact, the possibilities are only growing.

So, grab a client (app) and join the party! 🎉

There’s Damus for iOS, Amethyst for Android, Iris and Snort for web, and many others too!

Please keep in mind: we’re exploring a new digital frontier. Things can feel a little rough around the edges.

Hope this gives you a good basic understanding of nostr and we're all looking g forward to your posts in the future!
