They usually come on word of mouth (a friend inviting them to join) and usually drop into our chat to say hello and get the initial tips.

Ok. What about a random coming from Xitter because they don’t want to KYC over there?
They download Amethyst and then what? They’re gonna go to a key signer app and then come back to Amethyst and then get started?
Humm.. yeah I havent thought about this with Amber. We gotta figure it out. Usually they just create a new user on amethyst.
Random people coming from Twitter because of KYC has always been minimum. Every new user wave has been triggered by either influencers or word of mouth (what's app style).
Xitter is introducing KYC for monetised users (ie bluechecks) from July 1.
People over there aren’t happy and it’s getting worse in future with Gov regs across the West.
I’m creating something to help direct onboarding because per your point, if we can even get a handful of influencoors with big followings to join up we’ll see waves joining in short order when they encourage signups.
I think ideally new users create keypairs in client and move to key signers later when they want to connect with other nostr services.
Do you think there’s a more frictionless onboarding flow?
