Interesante, hoy de 2027 nuevos usuarios solo 30 usan LN address en sus perfiles.
¿Por qué? 😕
Discussion
Maybe it's a late metric? People may take more than a day to figure out how to create LN address and put it on their nostr account
Maybe it's true. But in the total number of users the trend is the same.
You're right. I think the real user is the one with LN address. Which means nostr growth stagnated right now.
I believe those other user accounts without LN address are either
1. Spam accounts
2. User trying nostr for a bit but then decided to just go back to traditional social media
3. Bot accounts. I see quite a number of bot accounts posting feeds from RSS
Nostr probably can only tap niche users at the moment. Most people doesn't care/know about lightning, privacy, censorship, etc. So they won't see any added value that nostr provide compared to the social media they currently use
This is very true, the large masses of users put the playful distraction generated by other RS first.
The Internet needs something like #nostr but not everyone is aware of that yet.
🤷🏻♂️

That graph really represents the ark of innovators & enthusiasts. We are not yet even into the early adopters. We are likely a group mostly into Bitcoin, tech & finance.
I was a part of the early days of: MySpace, Twitter, Vine &
Instagram etc. and it all felt the same. Although MySpace felt like a giant party from the earliest.
Nostr is still in beta. This is clearly a foundation & test bed for something MUCH bigger.
Devs will make adjustments and some week in the future a celebrity or influencer will spark a comment about Nostr & there will be an immediate flood of 2m+ new users. Everything will break, WOS will break... it will be a shit show. Then it will get fixed, hardened and we a move into the early adopters & then the pragmatists.
That future sounds interesting. But first we have to fix several things such as the costs of operating a relay on a global scale, no one has yet made a decentralized network profitable.
Can you imagine that a celebrity pushes millions of users in this lie all at once?

Ya know what just accrued to me... I had forgotten about banking fees. I forgot the banks used to charge me service fees to have accounts open. That they used to charge me for checks and ATM withdrawals.
Do you remember that?
Then all those fees went to $0.
Zero got normalized. Banks went deeper into fractional lending to generate profit... & here we are.
Maybe all those nominal fees were not so bad after all.
The only viable one I would say is for content creator to also make his own paid relay.
In a way the paid relay is the way for users to be able to see premium content and interact with the content creator too.
So content creator do need to spend cost of relay. But they will make a profit the more subscriber they have to their relay due to their content.
Kind of like patreon relay.
And the content creator also can work with advertiser to post ad notes on their relay if they want to make their relay free of charge to the followers.
Not sure if it make sense technically though.
