Nostr Web Client

1. How does Nostr user experience compare with Twitter?

It’s both at parity and far more advanced. Zaps are far more advanced and a leapfrogging. As is logging in with a key pair. As is autopilot relay model in some clients.

2. What client(s) do you use?

Primarily Damus for iOS, gossip for desktop, and a variety of web clients (snort and coracle).

3. From what I’ve seen, current user base is highly concentrated among Bitcoiners. Thoughts on implications this has for user experience and network growth?

Bitcoiners tend to be pretty principled and focused on building tools to enable more self sovereignty, so I think it will turn out very well for individuals. But like Twitter, I think there are many other niches you aren’t seeing yet because you aren’t on those relays.

4. What do you think of Twitter blocking Substack links?

I don’t believe Twitter should block any links. Is this true?

5. Is Block building on/for NOSTR?

Yes.

Adding Lightning to Square payment terminals is the biggest real world impact you can have on Bitcoin right now.

Where is that at?

I don’t believe it’s the biggest impact I can have on bitcoin right now. It would be relatively small in the markets we are in. Biggest impact use case is remittance.

B2B or consumer remittance?

Consumer

Relatively small for Block’s markets now is relatively big for Bitcoin. Maybe you don’t see it as most important, how is progress in the last 3 months?
