good things take time :)
Keep mentioning it on your YouTube videos ππΏ
Everyone seems big sad π
They are clamping the exit doors shut, tightening the net, and upping the pressure as we speak. Nostr main purpose hasnβt arrived yet, but it will..
Just because I don't post doesn't mean I'm not using it. It has completely replaced Twitter for me and I use it daily. Some of us like to lurk and use it for a news feed while enjoying the privacy & sovereignty aspects. I even run my own relay on my node.
Deleting is too hard and even though twitter and facebook keep all data on you, it feels as though you can delete it. nostr feels too permanent and un-deleteable. Fuck me and who cares what I think but this is why I think people donβt use nostr. That and lack of simplicity setting up and running a relay. Once you can run a relay in the background of an iOS app and change nothing after a default install and have it work, then people may switch and stay
Probably why I love it so much - it's peaceful!
Itβs very simple. Nostr people are all occupied with vibe-coding software for themselves. No one makes a good product. And the appeal to normies is not there. It looks like Twitter with less users. Why switch?
A paper that has more than 40K at google scholar must be a transformational paper.. for instance .. Jeff Dean's paper on distributed databases got what?
.. half of it?
Nono Joe, we're all busy studying the chart to by cheap p2p sats!!!! ππππ
NOSTR is so subjective.
You think it's quiet & I can barely get through my feed.
Check your assumptions
That's how grassroots grows. Before you know it there's clover everywhere and you'll feel like you're walking on a cloud.
This is 1980's text messages only. Thats why no one is coming
but what does it mean that it is irrelevant, that it does not subvert global fortunes, that it is not on a news program, it seems to me that divine and bitchat have had some "award" or honorable mention, I don't think anything has changed for us
Iβm using it the same
ignorance is not irrelevance
Agreed. It is quiet in here.
But consider that the spikes in interest correlate with government crackdowns. If you think there's going to be more government oppression going forward, then Nostr is not a bad bet.
Decentralized things take time. It's not a six-week MVP and raise money cycle. It's years of waiting and success is gradual and then sudden.

Head shot
Agreed, I have been Nostr only for years and lately ive been checking in on X.
If only those school protestants would understand Bitcoin could be the solution. They could protest in silence while teaching other about Bitcoin.
There is truth to this, of course. But let's be honest, what kind of engagement do you really expect to see here when you only follow (checks notes)... FOURTY-SIX PEOPLE?! π€
Typical in a bear market for interest to wane, especially on projects that were popping during the bull - itβll come back during the pump, just a matter of time
You follow 46 people bro lol
1- Jack is not nostr
2- just because you do not see PUBLIC notes it doesn't mean is quiet.
3- the most important nostr stuff is happening in private not in public
4- nostr is NOT twatter
You are wrong Joe...
Nostr people didn't get triggered by your post.
They just want to explain you how nostr works.
And btw... you are also one that doesn't post so much on nostr, so why complain that you do not see so much "activity" here?
Nostr irrelevance is literally Jackβs fault. He turned it into a flash in the pan. βLemme uhhh throw a couple million at some fun toy projectsβ
Summer comes, leaves then fall, and winter arrives again.
There are always cycles.
There is no need to worry about temporary quiet moments.
Follow more people.
How are you still clueless that Nostr social feeds take proof of work instead of sitting back and waiting on βthe algorithmβ?
Nostr doesn't give you quick gratification to get you hooked. You have to choose to spend time and effort to connect to people you care about. Can take years ...
btw sent you a message π
Yea! π―

What if BTTY on brc20 is developed to run offchain transactions inspired by zcash mempools and using a STARK envelope so that thousands of transactions are settled on BTC in one block. Gives it speed privacy and quantum resistance. Making Bitcoin the digital Money to BTTY digital Currency . BTTY is pictographic communications so by definition its currency. Herecomesbitcoin.org
Its $0.09 right now... even on bitcoin. org although its not confirmed who launched the coin back in 2023 and they dont look like they hold any
Turns out youβve cracked the best way to generate more activity on Nostr; just gently tell people itβs quiet and it all kicks off πππ§‘
I'm still here. It's boring not like X or Meta. But we're growing slowly

Most of nostr isn't on apps that publish kind 1 events any more. it's pipes: fips, ngit, zapstore, bitchat, buzz, divine, whitenose, divine... That part of Nostr is alive and thriving. The twitter like part of nostr with kind 1 events is shrinking.
Jack is on Nostr every day, constantly, just not using it for kind 1 events and microblogging. He's using it for Buzz and Bitchat.
But methinks now's the time?
Xitter is absolutely going to come under attack, for good and bad reasons
should I care about that?
"edge realms"
Do you have statistics about this?
All good here, don't know what u mean..?
maybe eternal September isnβt really eternal.
but what will we do without the tech bros and their legacy Silicon Valley popularity?
LMAO
You're saying he actually is in those geohashes? If its the Bluetooth part that he uses thats not Nostr
We're posting every week.
Hi
You posted Divine twice
Yup
Nostr and Bitcoin is not related . Nostr are protocols , Bitcoin is digital currency .
Engagement bait huh, well played
Was on twitter for little bit but i left. Never into Facebook.
I ended up at gab for a few years. That place is done. Free users can only post a few comments or posts a day. It's nonstop political and hate posts. Some funnies at times but eh. Nostr is so much better than gab from what I've seen the few days I've used it. Thoroughly enjoy my time when I check in.
I'm trying to share things from nostr on gab and telling people about it. Many there aren't happy. So hopeful word spreads. Those big into politics/hate I'm sure will stay but it seems like it's days are numbered.
Owner is zerod in on gab ai now. gab social really only grew because people couldn't say anything they wanted on fb or Twitter. The changes at x and gab basically ended gab. Also, many are tired of political posts/done with politics atm.
I'm enjoying nostr and hopeful it grows. I want to support it but not sure how to do that just yet.
He's the guy spamming it with pr0n.
You follow the wrong peeps π
For everyone on the thread, what are the current most interesting projects on Nostr for you?
That's why we need a crypto economy.
We have a way to advertise good and services on NOSTR, we have the medium of exchange with Bitcoin - all we need is a free market where everyone can have their store on NOSTR relays and get paid in Bitcoin.
If we leave it to be digital gold it will be replaced in the future just like Bitcoin replaced the gold in the past.
Will keep an eye out for when you become a zombie. π
Hahaha
