I see what you did there.

Have you tried onboardstr? It allows you to create nsecs for people with a profile pic and followers.

We don't need "wide adoption." We just need a small minority to opt-out of bullshit pay.

He's selling selling services on here without a blue check or paying for ads.

I pay $28 a month for meetup and flockstr is already better. We(myself included) need to market it more).

Cal.com has a get Alby extention that allows people to schedule consulting for sats. It's amazing how many websites we can replace wuth nostr.

Just listened to nostr:nprofile1qqs8dzjwlrgdzltmgmmzg50l3jpr3hxv357hj03rjut5jsfm5ugtv9gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0n7gf45 's take on nostr with nostr:nprofile1qqs2auxkkgfgylem580xrztp8ek5sf83s86k0vfq2feuz6y4lkhskgcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0ks2l6t . His claim is that nostr is not at all censorship resistant because there is no incentive structure that supports each user having multiple relays.

The problem with this is that I think he is comparing relays to legacy social media services, which indeed have a very hard time creating a sustainable business model, just to keep their "single server" running. If nostr requires multiple servers, that makes the business model that much harder, because costs are much higher.

The difference is that relays have the luxury of being small. In theory it's extremely easy to run a community relay profitably, because you can run it on a $5 VPS and charge everyone $1/mo for access (or just don't even bother with a business model at this scale). This is fundamentally different from having to sustain a service that costs billions to run.

In a way, I think blastr is a schelling point for people who misunderstand nostr. It tries to force the many redundant relays to function as a single server by replicating content between them. Parker Lewis makes the opposite mistake, which is that of believing relays aren't sustainable when taken as a single unit. In that sense, I agree. But they aren't a single unit from either a data storage or business model perspective. And that's why nostr is decentralized.

Nice thought process. 🤙
