If you don't, Nostr is a failure.

Not seeing any notifications whatsoever in the new screens. Is that normal? Does it only show new notifications?

Push notifications too?

KISS principle - “Keep it simple, stupid!”

There is no need for token, it just add complexity and slowdown development, because for to have nostr token, it need to be in core - NIP1. If it's not in NIP1 it's better to use anythink already existing because it's not forced.

Right now, implement Nostr protocol into existing social network as alternative API is hours or days max, with token, they need to do a lot more work.

Attack vector - there are also legal reasons. Look at LBRY project. They has been targeted by SEC.

Hm..

1 - because it doesn't need it

2 - because it works without it

3 - because there's bitcoin, but also 1 and 2

Other low level understanding reasons.. hm..

- Facebook/Twitter doesn't have a token or Blockchain, right? Same here.

Blockchains are public ledgers and exist to achieve global consensus on transaction ordering, and that matters when it comes to money but not when it comes to social network posts. Blockchains are also inefficient as databases, and would require relays to maintain a copy of all the events on the network in order to remain in global consensus, whereas with Nostr they only need to store the events associated with the users connected to them. The need for money ona social network, is a different question, and in that case Nostr uses the best money for the job, and also allows anyone to build/integrate support for other monies if they need to because the underlying communication protocol is not tied to any particular token/money. It’s a better way to do social networking.

It would be a little bit like asking why eBay or a local farmers market doesn’t have its own internal token. Simple, it’s not needed. Money already exists in many forms, and we’re not trying to recreate money here. We just plug money into these things where it makes sense to have money part of the experience. Non-money activities don’t need a ledger or token in order to occur.

The toxic answer is that their token would be a centralized shitcoin scam meant only to enrich its founders. 😁

Depends on how open-minded they are 💜

For open-minded people, explaining new concepts is usually sufficient.

For more closed-minded and stubborn people, asking interesting questions back to understand their stance and the origin of that take beforehand, as it’ll take some unlearning, before they can learn and get familiar with the new information.

I've been asked about why Nostr doesn't have a token countless times. ….Whats your best answer without being toxic as me?

Because it doesn’t need one?

How about telling them to zap you on nostr with magic 21k internet money, before you explain them! When the did, they already got the answer. #Bitcoin :D

We don’t see it as a necessity

What makes them want a token? 🤔
