There seems to be something with Nostr that I've seen through casual observation and then discussions among new people - that having a really small following results in disproportionately low engagement. (ie. half the followers means 1/4th the engagement or something similar)

In other words, it seems like the bootstrapping phase of this network for new people is worse than on traditional platforms. But I can't think of an obvious reason why this might be unless it's a consequence of not having cross-talk between relays.

Wondering if there might be a way to somehow amplify or ensure wide relay connections for those new to the platform, without amplifying bots and scams at the same time?

Maybe this is just sort of an inescapable reality of the tech, but mostly just thinking out loud. 🤔

The USA government does not have to do anything in secret.

They just take over the mine and let the miners stay where they are.

Where did you get the idea from that they have to "move" them and it has to be "secret"?

If everybody panic sell the news about it, the USA government would be happy...not sad.

The USA government could attack any PoW blockchain 365 days a year with the "nationalized" miners.
