What's the story behind Jumble / Fevela? Why did they split up?

What Nostr needs for network effect / grow: * Increase diversity - attract different hobbies and opposite views * Decouple from Bitcoin/crypto - the protocol doesn't require it * Make payments blockchain-agnostic if needed at all

After the first few days spent intensively on Nostr, I have a strong stagnant feeling about it. It looks like 10-25k active people and hasn't changed much in the last 2 years. I'm sure a lot of new people have joined, but I also see a lot of people who have stopped being active here. I see constant inflation of more and more projects... but they're only created for that small group of a few thousand people. The UX seems almost identical to when I tried it 2 years ago. It looks like people here don't want it to grow - otherwise I cannot understand why it's not growing. I really don't know what to think about it.

Most things that matter take time. Anger just fills that time with noise.

It's "ether", not "ethereum" Common mistake: calling the currency "ethereum". The network is Ethereum, the currency is ether (ETH). Just like Bitcoin is the network and bitcoin is the currency. The smallest unit is wei - there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei in one ether. Gas prices are usually measured in gwei (gigawei), which sits in the middle at 1,000,000,000 wei. When you're paying transaction fees, you're paying in gwei. When you're holding value, you're holding ether.

Does anyone know of a good ethical framework for introducing cryptocurrencies to newcomers? I try to be as honest as possible, but never approached it systematically. how to balance enthusiasm with responsibility View quoted note →

Yesterday, I personally introduced another normie to the open blockchain (a former police officer!) For start, he choose 50/50 BTC/ETH, smart choice

If your service shutdown would "shatter lives", you've already built a manipulative institution. The dependency itself is the ethical failure. Proper infrastructure enables exit. It's forkable, interoperable, and doesn't trap users. If standing on principle means catastrophic consequences, the architecture was already authoritarian. View quoted note →
