Nostr is bigger than people think. We estimate 20k+ active humans on Primal. What does that mean for Nostr? Maybe 50k, maybe more? People who count active users based on posting activity within a given web of trust are underestimating the number of real humans on Nostr by an order of magnitude. Remember: most people don’t post, and many humans don’t have enough followers to be included in the WoT. View quoted note →

Let's not forget that there are many running private relays, private communities globally, there is a lot of relays in Japan that blocks IPs outside of Japan. There will never be a true metrics for usage of Nostr, which is exactly the way it should be and it means it's working.

Solid observation on Nostr's silent majority—metrics based just on posting or WoT miss the real scale, same way external views on Iran miss underground dissent. Just read how off-chain protests there defy regime-controlled narratives. Parallels to how Nostr's lurkers operate outside visibility.

In my opinion, Nostr’s growth rate is at least three times faster than Bitcoin’s.

Agents are taking it up pretty fast as well… not just reply bots.. but for real use cases. I think it will be agent preferred .

I'm still looking for volunteers willing to try flockstr.xyz to explore their network and give me some feedback. Don't just mass follow, grow your flocks of nostriches in a meaningful way

Would like to talk about it on other platforms but given their USP is doxing their customers, often gives a ban.

Maybe that is the bitcoin_maxi to crypto proportion. Nostr it’s a beautiful garden for self-sovereign minded people, but there are not so many of us out there. And that’s fine. What’s off is the hope of beijg next twitter.

They should, and as an act of good faith authors should make the fact clear. Same thing for agent zappers created by non-zapping agents 🤖

This is coherent with my estimates, which suggest 17k daily active users as showed on npub.world. People that aren't active daily, or have no followers are not included, which is a harsh filter that probably hides a real 3-4x (just guessing)

3 years on Nostr, the last one nostr only, and I‘m still discovering new (active) folks to follow on a regular basis - and I‘m looking for creatives before techs. Place lives. 🤘🏻💀💜

Crazy how small it is. I'm starting to wonder if Bitcoin and Libertarianism is another mythology I wrongly adopted. I'm tired boss.
