For a mass wave, either censorship on other platforms or some drama/celebs come over.
Discussion
Nobody cares about censorship, unfortunately.
It would have to be notable figures making their way here organically.
Celebs won’t come over until the onboarding and account creation is simpler and more understandable. Need design help. Then it’s features like zaps, but probably has to be a built in wallet so it’s fast and seemless.
The gamification of zaps among status-driven celebs is going to be insane.
That’s all just a mater of time. Also, celebs may not want to come till their audiences are here.
Now the first thing, censorship of groups may easily drive the next wave.
What about a library for mobile Nostr apps to delegate automatic invoice payment to the user's preferred LN wallet?
- Nostr app registers with LN app (exchanges keys)
- Nostr app requests LN app to pay invoice.
Implementing LN wallet features is a lot of overhead for a Nostr Client, and it may even harm the overall user experience.
If I can send a request to CashApp to automatically pay in the background, that is a huge burden lifted. Also opens up further use cases for things like podcasting 2.0, etc.
Since there is user interaction to zap (or boost), the requesting app has the foreground in Android. Sending an Intent to the user's preferred LN wallet means Android allows plenty of time to make the network request to pay the invoice, and I even bet you could spin up a Tor Daemon if user is self hosting.
It definitely needs service design/UX skills to create a better user experience. Blockchain tech is still developer driven therefore solution centered. We need to understand and validate the problem to find the right solution. Featurites lures;)
The creation of a new keypair (aka account) is only 1 click in most apps, how could it be further improved?
Btw, do you think it is a good idea to call it “account” if it is not centrally managed?
keypair management, finding contacts and people i know, etc. and yeah, account may not be right word.
Agree, finding contacts is an issue.
My experience is that people don’t like too many new things, so any new term should be introduced with caution. But keypairs or pub/sec-key is an important one.
what do you think of snort's onboarding? https://snort.social/new
I think for the moment nostr is not the right place for non-bicoin enthusiasts. I don't understand 90% of the discussions 🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t know absolutely anything about bitcoin before signing up. Users here here are so helpful with questions. I also post on here like I did on Twitter, about anything and everything
I personally enjoy how nostr creates a place free from celebrity idolization, community is more important than fame, that’s been something missing from the internet for a long long time.
Celebrity idolization was a problem since we had kings and queens. Would be nice to solve it one day 🙃
Why? All humans are the same, we need a North Star (not that celebrities are. They’re horrible false idols.)
You are the north star. That’s all you need. Look for God, if you ready. But you won’t find one among humans 🙏🏻

Lest keep account creation like it is then. I enjoyed the process myself.
I only want celebrities who can understand Nostr right now.

#[5] can help. A call to arms #nostrdesign
Yeah I still haven’t figured out how to connect a Bitcoin Lightning wallet yet. I’m sure it’s not too hard but just one of those things I gotta get around to. Better UI will definitely help someone like me.
I think FIDO Passkeys could be a solution Nostr could leverage to have a extremely simple UX around private key management

Agreed. Some thoughts and visuals on building a nice onboarding experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3BuIzA15HY
Just keep making it better.
For everyone to migrate it has to be 10x better, this is quite achievable.
But Twitter with 1m MAU users and Twitter with 250m MAU are indistinguishable for the user.
