I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:

1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.

2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.

IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.

We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.

most people think email is bad because the only client they’ve ever used is gmail

Shitposting and spending time on #nostr isn’t a waste ! It's a decentralized gateway to self sovereignty that allows all of us to stay informed, connect with like-minded plebs, network, teach and learn!

You have sound peer-to-peer censorship resistant digital cash, if you can keep it.

It’s not much but it’s honest work.

While everyone was calling bitcoin a tulip bubble craze, the actual scam blowing up in front of everyone’s eyes was ESG.

A completely nonsensical investment strategy that made everyone believe they could make money by neglecting reliable energy and pushing diversity quotas.

This is how Twitter has been looking for me for a while now. I can't login. I've been trying to login every time someone shares a link to a tweet and I want to read the thing, but to no avail. I've already tried to clean up the cache and localStorage and so on. It's weird. Also I've never logged out, it just went into this broken state on its own.

It also does that annoying Google login popout that so many websites do today, so it might have be related to that.

But whatever, I'm just saying this because every time someone finds a small bug on any Nostr app they complain and say Nostr is a failure that will never be able to compete with giant corporations or something.

The 69 session is over 🥲

How old I am?
