It should be simpler.
Quick thoughts from a (relative) normie evangelizing #Nostr on day 1 of #TOKEN2049 in Singapore:
- Of the dozen folks I’ve spoken to, 2 had heard of Nostr before, 3 realized they had heard of Nostr but didn’t realize it until I started describing it, and 7 had never heard of it
- I didn’t have the time (and the people I talked to didn’t have the patience) to onboard in the hallways at the event; it has to be faster and easier (I know, this isn’t news)
- The “a-ha” moment came when I showed people my profile and feed on nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch and then immediately opened nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and showed them all the same stuff was there, but the two clients offer different user experiences and features
Discussion
Email is a good analogy. If you say, "I use Proton, you use Google, someone else self-hosts or uses Yahoo," these are clients, but we can all communicate because email is a protocol. Nostr is like email; it's a protocol. Check out this client... etc.
