I think we're agreeing. This is much more in line with an extended nostr eco system. Remove the relay part, and allow logging in with nsec identity is essentially the bridge to the wider web, for which the TAM is 1000x bigger. Relays end up being a small part of that.
Discussion
Phrasing it another way. nost is far bigger than nostR. But nost itself is basically the web + taproot.
thank you for explaining.
what is Nost?... I haven't heard of that
Nost is something I just made up : Notes and other Stuff
It's much bigger than NostR which depends on relays
And adds an important element of taproot and schnorr to the web. What you could call an nsec too. This has a much larger total addressable market than the relay part.
I knew fiatjaf for many years before nostr. I kept saying to him that the data must be transport agnostic. Either by luck or design, it is in nostr. That's the path that will let it scale to a far bigger market, though most have not yet realized this. I think Lyn has.
thank you, Melvin. I'm trying to wrap my head around Nostr, and I love the idea of "Nost" as being and even bigger circle underlying the "Nostr" circle.
so i'm basically excited about this explanation from someone that
NSECs are a sort of "value-less" digital estate living on Nostr similar to how UTXOs are digital property on bitcoin network
So i'm reading you and Lyn to figure out what comes next, what that means for market, and where value accrues.
Everything online is 1's and 0's. It's all valueless until we, as humans, assign value to it.
