As far as i see it you are complaining the web is never going to take off because you are required to type in h t t p : / / W W W dot, in front of every website url you want to visit.
Normal people, are doing everyday things, that are far more complex than understanding location.
What? Are 'normal users' confused you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and to the bakery to buy bread? And there are all these different bakeries, how is a normal person supposed to know and understand which one he should go to, and then there are the opening times. And then sometimes, the shop is closed for some reason, and then the user is just supposed to go to a different shop?????
Shopping is never going to take off, its too confusing for normal people, you cant expect them to understand all these things.
Sending letters? Are you crazy??? How many stamps do i need? Where do i put them?? The adress, i need to write that down? How do i even know the adress of the person i want to send a letter. And i have to put the letter in the correct box? This is insaine, no normal users is ever going to send letters, the postoffice is out of touch!!!
Seriously, relax, in the grand scheme of things, all we are doing here (be that bitcoin and now Nostr, both residing in this new crypto paradigm), is a new way of doing things. But there is nothing about this stuff that makes it impossible for the everyday person to build comprehension. I am not projecting, i am just further allong and see how its not much different in terms of complexity of systems we were completely accustomed to in the past.
Stretch your timelines friend, this a process over generations, i.e. decades not years. And the way you are screaming makes me think you are on a months timeline.

"over generations" .... Nostr isn't even quantum resistant. Shor's destroys nostr in it's entirety. Not even Grover's and quadratic speedup but the lowest hanging Shor's fruit. Every public key is public! The lower bound for Shor's is 1,700 logical qbits. We're at 24 now, possibly 48. Within 1 generation we will be at the lower bound, if not within 10 years. (If not within 5 years.)
Time to hard fork and start over. A lot of good stuff can be ported over. But this Nostr we have now, there is no chance for it on a technical level, to say nothing of user adoption and all that.
This is 2025. You just cannot build a new protocol on a Shor's un-hardened curve with all the public keys happily public and zero scope for curve migration, it's insanity.
