Too much crypto bitcoin talk has always been the #1 issue reported
How about we collectively figure out what turns off the IT crowd when they hear about Nostr, so that we could create a resource that addresses these concerns properly?
Here is how we could do it.
There is a public Google Sheet (link at the end).
Anyone can go to HN, PH, Reddit etc, find mentions of Nostr, find meaningful criticism/concerns expressed, "parse" them, and add a row to the table - one per comment/reply/note. And don't forget to leave your npub in each row.
I will pay 500 sats per row to the npubs of contributors, if anyone wants to join me and sponsor this - just reply to this note.
Lmk if you have a better idea of how to do this.

That's coming from people who tried it, I am more interested in those who hear about nostr as a tech and have doubts whether it's worth trying
Why does that matter. How will you convince them to try it? They have to try it to make an assessment, no?
Someone looking at nostr as Twitter alternative has to check out the content etc and doesn't care about internals.
Some IT person looking at nostr as a new tech cares about internals much more than short note topics. IMO
Yeah but don’t they test it in the process? I imagine the people diving straight into GitHub and forming their conclusions on that is a small number compared to all the other hanging fruit we can address.
Anyway, curious what technical issues they point out. Let’s see.
