nostr gaming will be wild nostr:note1dxrg8r2rqfxpwuk9t8m4sw4ratdv7ledxlsr8ztwqln4l9rtnjsq9k5l4r

Idea: why dont we work with AI Chat (e.g. gpt4) to design a fun nostr first game that can go viral. It can take inspiration from other viral games such as zombies, mafia wars, farmville, adventure games, choose your own adventure. It can involve both human and non playing characters on nostr. Using NIP-98 you can log in to a full game environment with your nostr ID, or experience it casually on nostr. Instead of points you have zaps, tasks and quests where you can recieve sats. Data Vending Machines can be part of the game that you interact with and set up different work flows, solve puzzles, or to create new content. The game can also have mini games that you play together with others. The AI will come up with a design, which can be tweaked. After that we get the chatbot to code a prototype which we run on different servers.

How about something like dungeons and dragons? You get a permanent character linked to your npub that gains experience, equipment, backstory, etc.

How about a nostr tamagochi game

Thank you for your answer!

We just need to #Zap diverse content.

When all the zaps go to the Lyns and Jacks for their Bitcoin/Nostr content. It’s a feedback loop that that’s the content wanted here.

The more diverse content gets zapped, the more word of mouth spreads.

**We should find a content creator every week, and Zap the living hell out of their wallet.**

Instead of a #Zapathon we need #Creatoroftheweek.

It’s hard to do right now as there is not much geo-specific content right now.

Whether or not global is a default on/off I think it is critical for freedom of speech and emergencies that global can always be enabled.

Biggest complaints:

- Bitcoin echo chamber / not enough variety of content

- Difficult to use (my guess is these people have only tried it once 8 months ago lol..)

- Feeds not busy enough

- Toxic to web 3

My thoughts:

I bet we can solve a lot of these complaints just by asking people to select some topics to follow in onboarding and doing away with global entirely, or make it an optional thing. It seems global is responsible for turning people off because they see a bunch of spam / too much bitcoin content and or some other crap.

Topics solves some of this - they will see more focused content.

Better navigation UX can help - like browsing hashtags (see primal).

The network effects thing IS a challenge. Have to have users to create content and have to have content to attract users. Lists could help here. Even something as suggesting a list of RSS feeds that post on Tech news for example would be helpful. We already have RSS feeds for all sorts of stuff but they are difficult to surface.

Engaging with non-bitcoin content can help too (if you find it interesting, probably don’t want to force it).

Other than that I am not sure how to get more non-bitcoin users here other than creating a “safe space” for them where they don’t see that type of content at all. Whether that’s a bitcoin-free relay or a client that specifically mutes bitcoin terms via a pre-defined (user can still modify) mute list, or something else I can’t think of atm. nostr:note1j5cx3j3h7prnr46yyfa4akllsjach4qxhnzu0tu4pcgh3afcj0qs5rd0w8

Ngl i love having zaps back. Makes my limited time on Nostr more meaningful when I can pepper people with sats.

how is everyone feeling
