Nostr Web Client

The biggest problem with Nostr right now is that we aren’t breaking any rules.

The value and differentiator for decentralized networks is the “grey market.” BitTorrent taught us valuable lessons, and the most important is that something like Nostr will likely only get a huge network after we find something that people want, but aren’t allowed to have/access for whatever reason.

Consider what you think it might be… 🤔

Not that I support this, but I've sometimes wondered if nostr would be a good place for cybercriminals like those selling hacked data on Telegram

Good idea , but if something big happens we’ll all get dragged into it

I prefer ethically ambiguous grey markets. Sharing movies is the perfect one that the king BitTorrent provided as a model for us. Thats the type of thing we should aim for, imo.

You are right in kind, but not in direction. The whistleblower idea is a far better alignment.

As I said I don't actually like the idea of those types using nostr. I only wondered if they would given the anonymous / permissionless nature of it. Whistleblowing does sound like a good application.
