I think it is just people checking it out and not sticking around. You need to keep adding people until the number that stick around reaches critical mass

🚨 Developer Community 🚨

If you want any online social space at all to achieve widespread adoption, you must target teenagers. This is an unfortunate fact of life.

Very few people past 30 ever change their purchasing habits or their lifestyle habits in a meaningful way. This is why people still use Facebook, sometimes people break habits but it’s very rare. People are literally locked in by their endocrinology.

Brand loyalty and learned patterns of behaviour are very real things. There are tangible biochemical reasons for it.

There is a reason the entire advertising industry has learnt from experience to target first time users.

If we want nostr to succeed then developers should really be targeting products and services for teenagers or people in their early 20’s. If you want to build a niche, you are of course free to do so, but if you want societal adoption you must surf demography.

All successful social platforms have surfed a cohort. To succeed at scale we really need to stop focusing on displacing Twitter and start focusing on post TikTok.

All the work to date on nostr apps has been extremely valuable, people have demonstrated ferocious pace of progress and speaking personally… I am blown away by a lot of the talent here.

A number of people have been able to self identify as incredible talent and many have observed this.

I see some of those same people now running out of road in terms of Ramen money. Collaborate, go further together.

The post TikTok window is now opening.

Target it with this open source technology!

There are so many new frameworks and protocols available now. So many excellent devs here are making great products but are targeting long saturated markets.

It’s also a noble mission, get the propaganda Dues Ex Machina’s tentacles off our kids.

Nostr should have a natural advantage, because when a client stops being cool as it's users age, a new client can spin up but everyone is still on the same protocol.

Is every household like this? #nostr on the toilet #plebchain

I think he loves the pedestal and will say whatever the people who put him there and pay him want him to say.

Forbes were by far the first outlet to post good material on Bitcoin, as early as 2015. They still publish paid shills of disinfomation when it counts, like a bull or bear market.

I guess it pays more to sell bad information so that others can bet against the crowd then it does to give sound advice. Seems to be the natural career progression of influencers.

#nostr fixes this with #zaps

By this point if consensus is reached that larger blocks are required, it will be a new fork and Bcashers will still be left holding a shitcoin

Same. I think I care too much about being right to openly discuss the idea. By the time I'm confident enough to share my thoughts I'm so far down the rabbit hole they can't follow.

I plan on making our garden a celebration of #bitcoin and #nostr. These ground orchids fit in nicely.

Agree. When I pay Bitcoin I think about what I expect Bitcoin to do in the next couple of years, and the price seems 10x more expensive. When I pay in fiat I don't worry about that and am had that the price hasn't increased due to inflation.

For example, nostr.wine subscription seems steep at 18000 sats, but I happily pay 3x that for Spotify.

If I could pay for a relay in fiat and a bit extra for some sats to use in zaps I wouldn't hesitate. That would be an ideal Bitcoin onboarder, because people would see first hand how sats are better for micropayments.

The Forbes article on the lightning network. Not just the content, but that Forbes published something that wasn't complete garbage

Is it safe to put your private key into an app like #plebstr ? It doesn't seem to activate my nos2x extension? Is the key only stored locally on the app or can it get leaked.

I made a video of a flood on Facebook once and someone from viralhog contactede about licencing them the video. It took me a couple of hours to fill out the paperwork around work. By that time there were new videos coming to light and I never got any money. A way to stack zaps where the original user gets a cut of the zaps and the media outlet or influencer gets a cut would be ideal. You could agree on the cut in order to get your post reshared.
