But thats just another proprietary Chrome clone? It looks like a honeypot for environmental activists, which like advertisement :)
nothing against tree planting though :D
They don't want freedom because they don't understand what it is
I'm trying nostr:npub1x5tpj06sw9d57ykhh0cr699d63vc805pjvcvrcged7530a3l492sdy55am, and it wants $9 for Sybil protection. That's probably fine, but when the main page says "Free To Use," it smells a little.. I would welcome more transparency
We live in a multi-blockchain world, and there is room for everyone. It's not about "beating" the other, but serving as mutual insurance. If one fails, we will have the other.
When I was a Bitcoiner, I always respected competitors such as LTC. because competition pushes you forward.
Now I am an Etherean and respect Bitcoin as competitor
blockchain agnostic nostr
That's right, the social sphere is complex, with extreme pressure toward centralization. I believe that many projects were created honestly, but their authors were weak.
That's absolutely fine. For me it makes sense to have something separate and specific for Nostr... but it should also be ready for the mass market, nostrconnect and frostr, it's all too complicated.
Logging in with an Ethereum account is great because you can keep your private key in Trezor or another hardware wallet, or leave it on a smart contract and handle it as multi-sig, etc. This is awesome invention
But you understand that "Ethereum wallet" or any other "wallet" just means a private key or signature... and it's almost the same as logging in with nsec, right?
etherium people aren't that nice, but ethereum people is ;)
The only thing that matters is node share, isn't it? According to the coindance, it stabilized around 21% and does not appear to be growing further... or why do you think its not over?
knots drama is still a thing?
Sometimes it feels more natural for me to write things in Czech and have them translated than to try to figure out how to say them in English
Sorry, but no. And I say that as an Ethereum person.
I just wouldn't confuse this with it being the fate of all Ethereum projects. This clearly doesn't make sense—but there are many areas where it does make sense, such as lending, decentralized exchanges, decentralized stablecoins, prediction markets, and many other use cases.
Someone tried to build an Ethereum-based Nostr client called Dostr.
Among the reasons it failed, IMHO, is why most Ethereum projects fail. It required that users already have an Ethereum wallet to connect in the first place. By tying your social graph to a blockchain, you immediately limit the potential size of your audience to only those who have already self-identified with that subgroup.
Nostr doesn’t use or need a blockchain to function. That’s an important point that the crypto people (I am using a much nicer word than I usually do) often overlook.

I completely agree. I have been and continue to be a long-time critic of Farcaster, Lens, and other similar efforts. The only place where blockchain is useful in this case is in a decentralized naming system such as ENS, or some kind of DID storage.
Thank you for those words! Building for your own community is awesome, but the ultimate power of tools such as Bitcoin, Nostr, or Ethereum is that they are for everyone ✨
