It needs to solve a problem for adoption.
At the moment Twitter adequately solves the problem that current Noster apps are seeking to solve. Gab/Parlour are in the sidelines.
Also, Nostr is not sufficiently decentralised. Key rotation is not adequately implemented, and a lot of people don't want AI to be let loose on their data.
Nostr clients should TOR route all traffic by default. Wider adoption is a pipe-dream until this happens.
The Fountain podcast app is corrupt bullshit
It's NOT "Powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network"
It's a custodial bank account, closed source app, hosted on Amazon, with Gmail verification, letting you insert an RSS feed to one government domain.
Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday,
Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer,
With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: https://github.com/fountain-fm
You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account.
Look at this bullshit:
"Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam."
In Summary:
--Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account.
--Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files
--Insert Private Nostr key into closed source
--Heavy integration with Big Tech
--Surveillance of who is listening
--Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain
You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control.
Agreed. Never installed it because I couldn't find the source.
Online fitness/coaching services, with payment in bitcoin on the Lightning network, is going to be one of the first killer use cases.

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoiners really suck at catalysing adoption. Need to fix that asap.
The Jade mod is a nice idea because it's secure core, open source, robust, and obtainable through a relatively trustworthy supply chain. Should be able to manage generation of HD key chains without difficulty.
Russian Nostr:
Make Money Off Telegram's CEO being Jailed!?
I must say this first:
I promote the USE of cryptocurrency, and less so gambling on price.
However,
it's a struggle to get people to give a shit about freedom tech.
So,
With this extreme pessimism in mind, I pitch this amazing social network as an investment.
Bastyon is dubbed the "Russian Nostr",
Unlike Nostr, which is easily banned by Russian & Chinese authorities because it uses websockets to relays with known government domainsโฆ Bastyon nodes use torrents for files which functions completely independent of government DNS and works on nodes with constantly changing IPs.
Given the effectiveness at Bastyonโs proven ability to penetrate government firewalls in China and Russia, we can essentially guarantee that Bastyon will beat out Farcaster, Nostr, and Lens for the RUSSIAN MARKET when many Russians wonโt or canโt even access the competition. In fact, even many US Big Tech companies are completely shut out of Russia. Even if just 1 or 2% of Telegramโs userbase moves over to posting on Bastyon, the coin would have to dramatically increase to even allow them to post daily.
Let's dive in to this trend:

Nice idea. Have you ever heard of Reticulum? The app 'Sideband' is worth playing with.
Also need a hardware note signing device. The Blockstream Jade open source hardware should be sufficient. It has a screen and camera and enough programmability to support HD keygen.
Key leakages are a big big big problem. Keyrotation are a priority afaic.
Plot twist... bro starts a billion dollar bitcoin company, gets jacked, and helps implement Satoshi's vision.
Facebook/Meta is a deep state cut-out. Always has been.

Yooow Uncle,
I'm still en-route but would be dope if you could add Marketplaces :)
How long did it take for them to start coming back?
