Absolutely psychotic resolution though

Doesn’t nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a use that? Let this be a lesson to anyone not self-hosting their identity or using a service who they have vetted for reliability.

Glad I rolled my own.

It's honestly a shame that seeing anything remotely bitcoin-related is offputting to the HN crowd. Some of them even said stuff like "the protocol is cool but I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole because bitcoiners like it"

The comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38718544 are proof that we can't make "just apps" and have people use them without knowing that Nostr is a thing. Users must know.

And in fact I think it is much easier to teach people about Nostr than about why your damn app doesn't have email+password login and where is it storing things and how does moderation work without telling them about Nostr.

And when they finally understand the basics of Nostr they will suddenly understand everything about not only your app, but about all other Nostr clients.

It's honestly kind of disheartening. HN is the nerd crowd and if *they* have a bad reaction to this stuff how do we expect normies to even get close?
