Nostr-ites: "We want to develop an open protocol that the whole world can utilize to oppose censorship, and oppression"

First Bitcoin Cash Nostr User: "Hello 😁"

Nostr-ites: "No, not like that, only permissionless, uncensored protocols for people who pump our bags 😔"

I'm waiting for a nostr client that works with metamask or phantom. it will be really funny

Honestly I can’t believe there isn’t a metamask nostr client yet

Most Bitcoiners are against B-Cash for legit reasons. Do what you want, but I advise you look into why they are so opposed to the use of B-Cash, and why it is not only entirely unnecessary, but also spearheaded by people with no discipline or respect for the tradeoffs involved. It might surprise you.

I used to be a crypto person. Now I'm a bitcoin only person. It's not mere closed-mindedness.

My point was at least in the case of Nostr.

Nostr can't be an open permissionless system that can gain traction if the network effects are designed for Bitcoiners only.

I simply used BCH as they're probably the most disliked group of people by BTC.

Mastodon, and Bluesky gain traction because they're more focused on a broader audience.

Hmm it's an interesting point. Well, are people able to get coin-agnostic or altcoin specific NIPs added to the NIP repo?

I hope so, it would be an interesting development.

If nostr is truly decentralized, there can be versions of it like this, whether or not it is added to the repo most people use for NIP specs. And nostr is truly decentralized. Ergo, someone can develop altcoin zaps for nostr. Whether or not it can be added to the main repo is simply then, assuming that nostr with altcoin zaps is defined as part of real nostr, the determining factor of whether the main NIP repo is the one true NIP repo.

Permissionless describes the protocol—no one can stop another user from using it to promote their scams. But no one can stop us from calling them out either.

I just think Nostr should encourage the crypto community at large to join because I think right now a lot of people are turned away from it since it can be an echo chamber at times.

Fiatjaf didnt create nostr for bitcoiners.

If you build it see what happens šŸ¤™šŸ½

I don’t want scammers and their fucking airdrops here. Happy with not ā€œgaining traction with a broader audienceā€ if that’s what it means.

But having more people be free from censorship, and oppression is better.

It's fair to assume protocols, relays, and instances will find solutions to spam/scams.

Bitcoiners already have toxic maximalism. šŸ˜

I'm not a fan of Bitcoin Cash, but if all the Bitcoin cash folks flooded Nostr I would applaud it. If people are going to discuss various currencies and battle it out, it should be done here.
