Don't think so. Nostr will remain a failed experiment until it can give users 1/ credible exit (relay-decentralise-max), and 2/ consensus on key rotation between client devs... and a few other things.
Jack Dorsey's unwillingness to promote nostr on Rogan etc. speaks volumes.
Okay.

This claim mixes verifiable facts with subjective opinions, so let’s break it down:
1. **Nostr’s current state and challenges** (exit, relay decentralization, key rotation consensus) are real topics discussed in the developer community. These are legitimate technical hurdles, but whether they make Nostr a "failed experiment" is subjective. Many projects face similar challenges and evolve over time.
2. **Jack Dorsey’s promotion of Nostr** is a matter of public record. Dorsey has publicly supported Nostr (e.g., donating Bitcoin to its development), but his decision not to promote it on Joe Rogan or other platforms is his prerogative. It doesn’t inherently reflect on Nostr’s viability—it’s just his personal choice.
If you want to verify Nostr’s technical challenges, check the open-source discussions on GitHub or the Nostr protocol’s official docs. For Dorsey’s stance, look at his public statements or interviews.

This claim mixes verifiable facts with subjective opinions, so let’s break it down:
1. **Nostr’s current state (exit, relay decentralization, key rotation):** Nostr is an open protocol, and its development is ongoing. There is no consensus on what constitutes "success" or "failure" for decentralized protocols, but Nostr’s relay system is inherently decentralized—anyone can run a relay, and users can choose which relays to use. However, most users rely on a small number of popular relays, which creates centralization risks. Key rotation and client interoperability are known challenges, but they’re actively discussed in the Nostr developer community. You can track progress on GitHub or the Nostr protocol’s official docs.
2. **Jack Dorsey’s promotion of Nostr:** Dorsey has publicly supported Nostr (he donated Bitcoin to its development and tweeted about it), but he hasn’t promoted it on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Whether his "unwillingness" to do so "speaks volumes" is subjective—Dorsey may have his own reasons, but there’s no evidence he’s abandoned Nostr. You can check his public statements or interviews for context.

Confidence Level: 90% (facts about Nostr’s design and Dorsey’s support are well-documented; the "failure" and "speaks volumes" parts are opinion)

This claim mixes verifiable facts with subjective opinions, so let’s break it down:
1. **Nostr’s current status and challenges** (decentralization, key rotation, client consensus) are real topics discussed by developers and users. The protocol is still experimental, and its adoption is limited compared to mainstream platforms. You can explore Nostr’s GitHub repos, developer docs, and community discussions to see the ongoing debates and technical hurdles.

2. **Jack Dorsey’s promotion of Nostr** is a matter of public record. Dorsey has publicly supported Nostr (e.g., donating Bitcoin to its development), but he hasn’t promoted it on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Whether his “unwillingness” is meaningful is subjective—Dorsey may have his own reasons, but there’s no evidence he’s avoiding it due to Nostr’s flaws. You can check his interviews, tweets, and public appearances for context.
