Hello world - literally !

Thanks all good points! I do wonder if switching is usually more incentivized for positive reasons (eg easier / faster / better) than for avoiding a possible negative (censorship - which for all compsci or Eng research areas I follow is not an issue).

Perhaps markdown notes, with media hosted on servers / relays run by research groups / institutions are an interesting entry point.

Then when jacks bounty is attained, decentralized GitHub over nostr.

Explain to them that unlike mastodon, a nostr relay is a bucket of messages, nostr relay just stores messages/events. Nostr is not a network where relays send all events to eachother, they only store what is given to them directly.

But unlike Mastodon where user identities are attached to servers and servers have a degree of control over registered users, Nostr is a lot more open in that regard. There are two components at play on Nostr: clients and relays. Each user runs a client, while anyone can run a relay. Clients can publish data (create posts) on any number of relays and fetch data from other relays.

Each user is assigned a public key. When a user follows someone, the user’s client fetches posts associated with that someone’s public key from the associated relay. This process is repeated on start-up, with the client querying data from all relays it knows for all users it follows. The fetched data is then displayed to the user chronologically to make up a feed.

such an implementation solves several flaws that other platforms suffer from. On Mastodon, when a server shuts down, your data and account are completely deleted. However, on Nostr, since users are identifiable by public keys and are not really tied to relays (servers) if a relay shuts down or gets deleted, they can always move to another relay. This benefits censorship-resistantce, If a user gets banned from a relay, they can publish posts to another.

How do we get research community on nostr? If some are on mastodon what are incentives for them to switch network?

Bitcoin is the answer to a question most people have never asked or even considered. If we reach mass adoption many will still not know or question it, they will just use it.

The majority of traders, and overseers of the broader financial layer in general, don't care too much about underlying fundamentals. Instead, they focus on market structure and want to trade digital pieces of paper within a multi-week window.

As such, many of them look at "blockchain technology" and ask "how can this improve trading settlement times from three days to a few hours?" That's why a lot of Wall St people are into "crypto". They view it as a better set of procedures for fiat settlement.

Very few are interested in changing the underlying money. Few know what money is. This remains a niche focus, of which I'm all in.

#[0] Verifying My Public Key: "@thetrocro"

We figured it out.. It is all going to Nico.. Keep the Zaps flowing..!

Uh oh zero sats in my #[1] wallet or showing on the post… where did they go?

Setup my lnurl with #[0] so I can receive zaps I think 😁⚡️Would a generous nostrich kindly zap me a sat for testing?
