GM nostr šŸŒ‡

I’m seeing a need…

I just walked past a line of people waiting to get into some web3crypto event (yes, this early in the morning, no, I don’t know why šŸ˜‚).

I have stickers from nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 and nostr:npub1dpna3xwwddnhhzg9ycpvlcz2ze0jdwm2rf3eqd2lf9leaewtq7tqhw0ef2 in my wallet that I could give them.

But I DON’T have a nostr sticker or QR code to say, ā€œHey, we’re fixing the web without a scammy token or inefficient blockchain. Check it out.ā€

Is anyone making these already?

Should I print stickers or QR codes for Nostr.how, nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc ? Other ideas for a 10-second chat?

This is how I wake up #coffeechain

I doubt shaming these crypto devs about their scammy tokens will get them to the Nostr side.

The reason they build in web3 is to become rich, financially indepedent, lambo life etc. Their goal rarely is to build freedom tools.

To attract them, it would be more constructive to play their game a bit and somehow build better monetary incentives within Nostr for them to come.

I agree completely.

I try not to approach these chats from an antagonistic place, if I want to have any positive/useful impact. I’d rather the person want to have another conversation with me, than never want to see me again lol

My quote above was a bit tongue-in-cheek; when I actually talk to crypto folks about Nostr, I approach it from a place of (assumed) shared excitement about decentralized communication, building cool tech, etc… Even if their motivations are often more fiat-minded, I try to assume the best.

So really it would be (and has been) more like this:

ā€œHave you heard of nostr? It uses crypto to secure your identity and social graph, and integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin Lightning, so that people can build payments and exchange value, and it’s a very inspired community! Nostr is also completely open, so if someone wanted to build a nostr interface with other cryptocurrencies, they could, but we’re finding that Bitcoin works nicely for the money, and allows people to focus on building new awesome toolsā€.

Something like that 🫔
