Nostr Web Client

Thoughts or ideas on how to create a strong network effect on Nostr?

1) Zaps ⚡️ seem perfect for content creators so more creators should come. Creates a bitcoin circular economy.

2) UX and performance keeps improving so will probably feel like using your favourite social media channels in no time

3) Barrier to entry seems to be an issue for some users who have never used Lightning, users who are new to private key management, so some education is required.

4) Identity of Nostr, Bitcoiners and Nostrich is an appealing. Creates excitement and curiosity. Hope for better more free world. Increasing your sovereignty online.

5) Probably the only place where you can say what you wish without fear of ban.

I am just rambling now but love to hear others thoughts. How normal plebs can help grow the network effect nostr to be the size of Facebook for example?

@Damus needs its own LN wallet, that would make onboarding easier.

Sovereign Matt 2y ago

That would be a cool feature.

I wonder if all clients will eventually offer their own LN wallet to help onboard new users.

Makes sense

ski 2y ago

Yes, I think this would be perfect. Current has done this and zapping is all done in app.

Sovereign Matt 2y ago

Block hes spam

may i also add:

6) privacy first- focused education for people who fear political persecution irl; best privacy practices for Nostr first for talking; then Bitcoin/Ln

Sovereign Matt 2y ago

I do love privacy.

I dont think most people care. At least none of my friends care about privacy. They all taking selfies daily and posting their location of where they are live. I dont think this appeals to norms. I may be wrong.

matata 2y ago

ah not a normie focused point no, important nonetheless

I do care for privacy.

Zaps ⚡️ also introduce revolutionary possibilities for the advertisers. They can now zap people selectively, attaching brief notes, e.g. web urls, call to action etc.

StackSats.IO 2y ago

Some believe there will be no advertising on nostr, even though these direct relationships are now possible in a way they never were before..

Tony 2y ago

I’d say there will be no “traditional” advertising as thanks to Nostr every user is the CEO of his own social media.

I could potentially set a minimum Zap amount to put a price on the ability of people to “spam” me with notes.

The possibilities are unimaginable…

cryptowolf 2y ago

we are all advertisers on #nostr. thats the beauty of it...

Tony 2y ago

Thanks to Nostr Bitcoin marketing team is now strongr than ever ⚡️

cryptowolf 2y ago

I'm an entrepreneur. I get sats for my notes.

nobody 2y ago

The Nostr CEO and Board are doing great things.

StackSats.IO 2y ago

There will be all kinds of advertising here, forms which we haven’t seen before as well as traditional types.

That choice that you mention means I can choose an ad-funded “free” experience, or I can pay to avoid ads, or I can even roll my own - everyone has different needs and wants, being able to make those decisions yourself is a massive improvement on the fiat world where you can have it any colour you want so long as it’s black.

Tony 2y ago

So true
