Nostr Predictions for 2026: The Year Everything Clicks

1. 2026 Is the Year of the “Other Stuff” - We've been building for this. It's happening. It's finally happening.

2. Shakespeare Becomes the Default Way to Build - Okay, maybe not just Shakespeare, but AI-first is the default in 2026.

3. DMs Finally Work and What Comes Next - NIP-17 DMs on all major clients!

4. Mainstream Media Can No Longer Ignore Nostr - You may not care about mainstream media, but 8 billion other people do, and we're there in 2026.

Hey son I love you and I miss you. When are you coming home? What's wrong with your wallet? What time are you using and what app is giving you trouble?

I'm on Primal (desktop if that matters) and I'm trying to connect my Alby Hub via NWC. I was able to connect it to Stacker News and Zeus just fine via NWC, but when I paste the connect secret into Primal, it just says it's active, but it doesn't automatically resolve on the Alby Hub side like it did for Zeus and SN. It just keeps spinning saying it's taking longer. And it won't let me zap 😟

i don't use Alby Hub, but i just went into Primal Settings, Connected Wallets, and added my Cashu.me Wallet and it worked immediately. *shrug* I know that doesn't help... Why don't you just use the Alby Extension on desktop with your NWC node?

Don't think so. Nostr will remain a failed experiment until it can give users 1/ credible exit (relay-decentralise-max), and 2/ consensus on key rotation between client devs... and a few other things.

Jack Dorsey's unwillingness to promote nostr on Rogan etc. speaks volumes.

Where can I find where Jack was unwilling to promote Nostr on Rogan?

You won't find it. He hasn't been on Rogan since like 2019 🤣

That's what I thought too haha! Way before Jack started promoting Nostr on X/Twitter

It should. Idk why, but it sometimes stops working. I'll look into it tonight.

I fixed the problem, everything should work fine all the time (I hope) 😃

NIP-17 not sure. NIP-17 groups a security risk imo. One-to-one use case seems solid though.
