Naming is fundamental to usability. If you give something a

name that is hard to understand you can severely impact usability AND adoption.

GN #NOSTR another pic from Ghent, Belgium. Lovely town.

I like Damus and Primal in fact Primal is my favorite and I use it a lot, but I like to try different clients (Nostr is in its early development stages) and nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 and nostr:npub1gujeqakgt7fyp6zjggxhyy7ft623qtcaay5lkc8n8gkry4cvnrzqd3f67z from ditto.pub are great!

Help me understand this.

If I don’t like a group of people (let’s say drug dealers) do things I don’t like (sell drugs to kids)

Are you saying #bitcoin was specifically designed for them?

Or because #btc is agnostic and arguably universal, it is therefore amoral (as a property of being a medium of exchange, aka “money”) and thus by default it is for them TOO…not just “me” (and my non-drug dealing friends) :)

Think what he meant is that anyone can use it and there’s nothing one can do about it.

I like to take photographs when I travel. Some photos are planned some are spontaneous. Will try to publish regularly and tell a little story behind them. This one was at Praia da Armação south of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. BTW at that time I didn’t know I was talking a selfie :)

No prisons, no limits.

It doesn't make sense to put a jpg or a blog post behind a paywall. If it's good, it will be available for free in no time. Someone will right-click save the thing, or take a screenshot, and send it around or republish it. Trying to fight that is stupid. Putting chunks of data behind prisons is stupid.

All data can be reproduced at zero marginal cost, leading to infinite supply. That's why market prices are ridiculous for blog posts, and why it's equally ridiculous to try to sell a single blog post. What you CAN sell is access to an exclusive club or community, as well as access to the author. That's what all Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans have figured out. But make no mistake: they're not selling JPGs. They might sell early-access (in the case of OnlyFans) which is fair, but it's not selling a JPG as you would sell an apple. Early access because if the stuff is any good, it will be available for free to anyone everywhere.

Here's the thing: people love to support other people, so let them. No limits. The success of Patreon and Substack does not come from paywalls, but from the inherent willingness of people to support others. Lean into that. Let people give without limits.

Social signaling is important. Community is incredibly important too. Do that right, and we can 100x the whole space just like a switch from $50 per game to free-to-play 100x'd the gaming industry, selling cosmetics and social status only.

Computers are copying machines. Information yearns to be free. People want to support the stuff they love, and they're willing to pay for it. Not all people, but ~4% of them. And that is enough.

You just reminded me of Aaron Swartz. https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductee/aaron-swartz/
