Someone just told me that they will join Nostr when the network is big enough that they don’t have to interact with bitcoiners 😂

Farcaster (Nostr on Ethereum) is going to charge $5 per year for users.

To me, that is a fantastic price point. It reminds me of old school Whatsapp. The only question is *how do we get Nostr to work at that price point?*

The sooner encrypted notes become the norm, the sooner relays feel better about letting anyone/everyone use them.

Encryption is just more comfy overall. Roads would be shut down too if cars were all see-through

Oh the UI is the hard part?

None that I know of. But if it’s a best practice to use signers for browser apps, why isn’t it also a best practice for native apps?

Is there a reason that NIP-46 can’t work for native apps? All it is is messages, right? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/70ede5e67d3631b109dd16a811d236b4065eb44d/46.md

Apps wouldn’t need to bow out or merge if more was invested into libraries.

Could consolidate on a a few libraries rather than a few apps

What is a “wallet service” exactly? I would question that premise.

Yeah I could make a throwaway email, but I won’t because it’s very annoying to do so and I don’t think what I am getting in return is worth it.

I use Nostore on iOS for browser apps. If it is desktop browser, i just don’t use it

If your app works with Alby, it will work with Nostore too. But it could be that you haven’t tested the UI on mobile Safari. I started testing your app but i just don’t have enough BTC in my lightning wallet to get going with the test.

I think the market for people wanting to spin up a nostr server is just small right now because people don’t know exactly the benefits of doing such or *how* it should be used once they have it. Write to one and read from many? Write to many including your own?

If someone wants a nostr relay, I don’t think the friction of your signup is going to deter them

I use it on iOS for browser apps only. I wish I could use it for native apps as well.

Agreed. I also refuse to use Alby because they require an email. That is horrendous for a supposedly open ecosystem.

nostore works great. But it annoys me that I can’t use it to log in to other native apps.

Browser extension and native log in should be able to use the same remote login. Send a request to my app for everything. nostr:npub19pw5egjuhcsfsv42zkjtjs6nhpm69lnv8w2dacdyez7rvacrqnds6xjtwk

NIP-32 Labelling to mark answers is awesome!

The difference is that if my friend requests something be deleted, I *want* to fulfill that request. Not honoring my friends’ requests makes me feel like a perv

Now you just need a Nostr server built with Elixir. No sense in letting all that Elixir skill go to waste

The mistake of many decentralized networks is actively trying to remove context.

People should know exactly where they are talking, who can see it, etc. In fact they need to know. nostr:note1nljyrjyp2zjusaevwx8tw45u43lv2m9a29pux705schv6x8e9rfqsz9tlv

Discord as a platform works extremely well because all communication is very clearly within a context. And there are no exceptions.

Servers feel like physical clubs that you are members of. You meet people in clubs and get invited to other clubs. Everything is organic.

You can make your own club, but you also have DMs which is more like your own house. You can chat with someone in your house.

The fact that there are no exceptions to this system makes it comprehensible to the user.

nostr has difficulties with comprehensibility because it is full of exceptions and there is very little context that users can grok.

Seems like you could just put nostrdb directly in the browser like these people did with SQL. https://github.com/sql-js/sql.js

Is there a phone app that has a list of Lightning nodes in order of preference. So if yours is offline, it can fall back to a friend’s?
