Well, haven’t seen a mass exodus from Twitter just yet, even though they are obviously about to seppuku.

I could see that but the barrier of entry it will create will cement it as a niche product and it’ll never scale to a critical mass.

But someone very smart will make a solid client that is user friendly first and foremost and keeps everything under the hood. 🤞

#twitter may be failing but #Nostr isn’t nearly ready for prime time consumption yet. Currently it’s a protocol that needs to find the right features to engage non-technical users.

gg USA, you about to get trounced.

#Damus users will now be known as Damsels.

Thanks for the insight!

Discovery of relays, explaining them to new users and then a pay wall are all major adoption blockers. It’s a low ceiling until that is simplified unfortunately. Any recommendation on relays?

2023-02-04 21:07:31

So much spam and little to no ability to filter or discover content. I know it’s early days but this is a hard sell to standard social media users. Prove me wrong!

RIP!

Yeah, if this can find traction it’ll be a revolutionary development and everyone involved will reap those rewards. Plus think how pissed Elon will be as his market share diminishes in his antiquated social network.

2023-02-03 06:56:53

Taxes are such a joke. They never teach you how to do them but if you don’t do them you’ll end up in jail. Stupid system.

Totally agree, it’s going to stop a lot of casual users from migrating due to confusion of the tech stack.

Thanks for buying my broken down Toyota Corolla, Elon. Check out my new car…

Wallets are free, just need a bit of bitcoin to put in one.

2023-02-02 23:02:04

Lotsa good design decisions were made with Nostr. 🤙 this was not one of them.

2023-02-02 22:56:24

Any #gamedev out there?
Feels like all #web3 atm.

No shame for the game bro.

You just did! 👏

2023-02-02 08:03:50

If I’m prioritizing features for Nostr on-boarding phase #[0]:
- Global feed filters
- Public key formats for sharing
- Import twtr contacts
- Nostr.build integration for profiles

I love Omnigraffle.

Hopefully the discovery element isn’t too challenging, I felt like that hampered Mastodon adoption. But used right, could be a game changer!

Button mash baby!!

2023-02-02 04:41:06

Seriously, need some filters until an algo can be built and tuned.

2023-02-02 04:38:59

How will people know which to pick? Seems like an element many will not grasp initially.

2023-02-02 04:34:39

Always

Go to nostr.build to upload, then link in profile or post.

Nostr.build then link in account edit

You can’t have a new social platform without cat pics, that’s the law. Ask #[0] if you don’t believe me. This is Nyx.

It’s early days! It’ll catch up to twtr in no time.

Someone smart will notice the opportunity and build it, guaranteed.

2023-02-02 03:53:21

Kinda hard to share npubs, that’ll have to improve.

2023-02-02 03:47:04

Hey #[0] has anyone started making a desktop #Nostr client yet?

2023-02-02 03:45:29

- reply

The web3 side is my concern when it comes to user experience as stuff like keys is not going to gel with casual adoption. But also hoping it solves a lot of the problems we have already encountered on the other platforms.

2023-02-02 03:35:20

- reply

It’s early days so the usability is still in its infancy, but I can see this becoming a solid platform one day.

Answer: what’s something you’re not doing right now?

2023-02-02 03:13:04

Damus is now in the top 10 apps in the US for iOS. That’s because of you FOMOing out and installing it before anyone else could. Good on you, you’re a pioneer now.

Hehe like I haven’t experienced the sweet taste of a Satoshi yet, cmon now.

2023-02-02 03:05:13

Agreed. We need to see more mass market applications not just crypto-friendly.

A classic of epic proportions.

2023-02-02 03:03:27

I like this platform better than both Mastodon and Post already. Sure it’s all crypto bros in the first wave. But is there a marketing strategy? How do you show the birds in cages there’s a viable alternative?

2023-02-02 02:51:46

I honestly believe Jack unloaded twtr on Elon because he knew it could never scale it being fully centralized and this is how he actually builds his dream. Creating it as a protocol makes the most sense to keeping it from being corrupted but only time will tell if it can find casual user adoption.

2023-02-02 02:21:54

- reply

Let’s hope not.

2023-02-01 20:50:11

Hmm, I’m kinda digging this design and no Elon embedded into all the content I’m forced to see. Win win.

Satoshi’s. It’s the depth level of a currency.
