Good morning #nostr! We are so early

We held a focus group with friends and family last night on some new marketing videos explaining the idea of nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne and the app’s features.

This group barely understood Bitcoin let alone Nostr.

Some of their initial questions:

“How could social media even work without algorithm?”

“Who decides what I see?”

“How can I find new accounts?”

“What if I decide I don’t want to see something and then “it” never shows me that again?”

“How it could be fun without an algorithm deciding what shows?”

Fortunately, the focus group session ended with someone asking…

“So WE are the algorithm?”

To which nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr & I enthusiastically responded: YES!

A buy signal...we're still way early.

dooooope! i did a small nostr workshop recently too and am interested to know how many total people in the group? did you walk people though making keys and setting up a signer? were there more iphones, androids, or browser based users?

It was 9 people and we showed materials that explain nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne so very high level. Because we’re building an Attention Marketplace and new discovery features we focus on explaining those. The onboarding pain points we avoid bringing up. But we explain that Nostr is a decentralized protocol where people own their own social identity.

nostr needs an algorithm

We think we have designed an alternative to needing an algorithm on @nextblock. Stay tuned!

All very good questions ... for some we still need to find the answers.
