There is too much written about zaps and Bitcoin and too little about these things.

Can you (or others) share the links? I know probably just a little (about private messaging subprotocols mainly and outbox model). What's bluetooth offline inter-device protocol? Where can I learn more? I might write about it, that sounds interesting.

Also decentralized wiki - where I can learn about it?

Sorry I didn’t understand. Write where? To who? You mean documentation ?

ok 👍

i bookmarked this : groups subprotocols , community relays , the bunker ,multisig signer and so on .

It seems that we need a tech publication that actually cares about freedom tech. I love writing and tech. I'll look into it.

I am doing full-length reviews of #Nostr apps at www.nostr-reviews.com

I would consider adding a subsection for protocol developments and works-in-progress.

Just need more available time...

But an LLM would vastly speed up the process of producing content about these things. Just need manual editing for accuracy and to avoid generic statements.

Need to stop being lazy and finish the 3/4 written posts I have about nostr.

As much as anything, then need to see WHY Nostr is important/usefull.

I don’t disagree. It’s just that as a normie, those words re: new things to discuss, largely mean nothing to me. How long do you think until it reaches the general public? Or is that not necessary an aim

Where can we learn?

it's not so much the ability to write that's blocking this; it's access to high-quality information, ideally from the horse's mouth.

motivated writers can do digging around on a given topic but it's hard to know when you've found the vein or if you're missing unknown unknowns.

those doing the work are often too busy or too elusive to answer questions and if they are willing to do so, it's often for a podcast which - while entertaining - goes "undocumented" as a written artifact to be shared for purusal by those seeking information.

take a look at https://www.inkandswitch.com/

I have two words… “what’s nostr? “

word

#Nostr is technically difficult to the tune of 15 minutes of learning, this has evolutionarily eliminated 99.999999% of all #women and 99.9% of all #men from joining.

More than revealing how much more technically difficult Nostr could be, what nostr needs is an app/website/client even #HomerSimpson could be up and running on in under a minute.

1) Install Nostr

2) Quick and easy default setup

3) #Noting in under 1 minute with under 1 #IQ

I am curious about your and others feedback about this.

Eu estou muito interessado no seu protocolo git. Já existe alguma iniciativa de implementação!?

Yeah, there is so much happening on Nostr, but most of it stays within a small bubble. More people need to write, share, and showcase what’s being built. Even a simple post highlighting one project can help spread awareness. If we want adoption, we have to actually talk about what makes Nostr great.

Totally agree. Nostr is growing fast, but without better communication and documentation, many of its innovations risk staying niche. We need more content highlighting these initiatives—not just to inform those already here, but to attract those who don’t yet know what’s being built. I’m exploring some of these ideas myself and will try to contribute. Which projects do you think deserve the most immediate attention?

Is nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqypu8xwr40lp96ewdj2fef408wy70gd3carf9n6xu7hrnhq6whpgly925h0z or any other similar initiative funding some publications dedicated to the effort of "spreading" this out there?

One more thing I'd love to see are tools that allow publishers to quickly replicate their twitter / instagram / blog posts to Nostr. As it is not feasible to have Nostr integrated in their tool, an external tool go "grab and republish" could do the work.

“If you know how to write 3 words without AI”…huh??

nostr:npub1pf6lt6ugm8v64h4h3n2txu3280a3rnce5x0zz6zp8t8tceshvxkqgnwngm I realize the simple answer is “just do it…just start writing about these things!”

A few questions for those of us that may want to help in this fashion.

1. Are you looking exclusively for writing vs say another medium such as video, audio, or graphics?

2. Where is the ideal place for people to currently discover and learn about those items you mentioned (and I assume more that you didn’t) in order to distill and disseminate it to the masses?

3. Is what you are thinking as far as producing content around these topics, in your estimation, doing by someone that is non-techy / not a coder and/or deep in the weeds of Nostr development?

For example, while I coded BASIC in the 80’s and could make a mean circle in HTML 1…I’m focused on helping others in non-coding ways these days. But my experience as a former IT Director, PM, leading et cetera lends itself well to creating content that helps teach people. Yet even I have found it tough (not so smooth) to onboard myself to certain Nostr items. This comes with the territory of innovation for sure!

So my closing question in summation is: how can someone like myself get involved via my skills? Where do I need to get plugged into to help you with this?

Deal, but then can we change the name of the protocol from Nostr to Ostrich please? I want my headlines to be about the Ostrich protocol, not about the Nostr protocol.

Something about "Nostr" makes headlines containing it feel not so clickable. But a headline about the Ostrich protocol—now we're talking!

We can re-jig the acronym. Online stuff transmitted by relays... and then something I.C.H. I dunno.. Is Coming Home!

Ditch the gatekeepers.

I wrote hundreds of entries for the wiki and you broke it with asciidoc

When the number of NIP-53 wiki entries reached 1000, like 30% of them were mine, and some of those were even actually good

I agree. But maybe flying under the radar a little longer while we improve the eco-system/tools/network is a good thing?

My plan to contribute to nostr is to build a content discovery site where people don't need to understand nostr or it's terminology/concepts to get value from the network.

People googling questions about coffee, dadlife, photography would find great (non-gated) content and gradually be introduced to the network when they create their first account, want to reply or bookmark some content.

I believe this can bring in millions of users. Both StackOverflow and Quora have estimated over 10-30 million contributors (not readers). Converting a fraction of that traffic to Ostriches would be amazing (and one of my key goals)

There was a guy posting a nostr round-up, and posting it on nostr. I tried to encourage him to to post it to substack/twitter. Totally forgotten who it is now, but it's semi-regular and quite comprehensive.

( #asknostr anyone know who it is and can tag them please?)

I also reached out to freemediaheckyeah to include nostr stuff on their list, but would probably need pursuing

https://fmhy.net/

I think Nostr technology is going to be key to the work place in the future. Like learning microsoft OS and office in the 90s.

Before reading that last bit, I was thinking that this is the perfect AI job

What is the "git sub protocol"? Is that like "git hosting via Nostr" or something? That would be very cool.

You have already the apps on a website. You may need to add the other features as Gadgets to be added to clients even by the users themselves if you have an app market account for instance.

#nostr is moving so fast - I can't keep pace .. my wife ..no way ! 😭 ..

well I can definitely put three or more words together without AI, just not on any of those listed topics.

Do something.

Don’t be a lazyf

The biggest issue here is the disconnect between devs and marketers or people who can write and communicate these things. The people who can build aren’t the ones who can effectively communicate it to broader audiences, and the ones who can communicate it aren’t technical enough to understand what’s actually being built or have access to all that information. That gap means Nostr keeps getting pushed under the Bitcoin umbrella because that’s the easiest angle to sell, so everything falls back to zaps and Bitcoin instead of the broader potential.

There are huge influencers here who could help bridge that gap, but they aren’t pushing these ideas either. If we want Nostr to break out of the Bitcoin bubble which is needed, we need better coordination between devs, marketers, and those with reach and a platform outside of nostr. Unfortunately as nostr has no marketing team that has to be a community effort somehow. I mean I understand the sentiment of giving up huge legacy social media to stay true here but how the hell does that help adoption only posting here. The bubble needs popping.

What's a subprotocol?

Well, tech projects usually have websites where they present their projects. But Nostr project websites are quite autistic. Most fail to adequately describe the 'what, for whom, by whom,' so that even techies like me find themselves asking, 'what are they even selling?'

Shameless self-promotion: By the way, I test such websites for a few Sats to find out if and how well they achieve their goals.

https://mslmdvlpmnt.com/get-your-website-tested/

Is there a NOSTR specific news site that reports on all the developments with the technology? That site would be a must read

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 I can say it for my self.. it’s really difficult for newcommers to understand all the things that are going on. I’m a programmer, and I can totally understand the revo behind this ecosystem.

But I feel lost. specially where to search for these things that you listed.

Would be nice if someone make a recurrent NewsLetter about all Nostr trends… idk, maybe it already existis… but is just too difficult to know where to search

I started writing a newsletter called OnNostr on Substack to share what I can about Nostr in normieland.

Will try and cover more of these topics.
