 Primal selling sats directly in the app was a win. Idc how anyone feels about KYC, etc… it was a win. 

There are a few things that still need ironing out, but I can see how this makes Nostr newbie friendly.

 Absolutely. It solves the issue of need several apps to send zaps if you're a complete noob.

 Agreed. Maybe it’s not cool to not run a lightning node. But for fuckssake, I already run 2 btc nodes and 2 miners. I do not have time to sysadmin more boxes

 Yep. I just made a small purchase for that exact reason. I have learned how to do it myself, but atm my time is at a high premium and I honestly have things planned for the stuff I already run (relay, etc) that aren’t getting done. 

Being able to refill my zapper in two taps was a win.

 If it were to incorporate content dvm feeds or something like it instead of populated follows, it would be awesome for suggesting to non-bitcoiners. I'm excited where it goes next.

 I agree. Recommendations are the one thing I ignore anywhere I go on Nostr, so I haven’t noticed the quality of them much. I’d love to know if I’m blackisted. 😂

Yeah, it doesn’t do much yet, but what it does, it does well.

 😂 I don't think they're poor quality at all, just very topic oriented. I understand It's hard to populate a feed when everyone well known has the same main thing they're known for.

 It’s a chicken and egg problem and always will be. How do we get non-btc content on Nostr? We need non-btc people to join and post. What will make non-btc people join Nostr and stay? Non-btc content. 😂

Once we figure out the paradox or it solves itself, everything will be awesome.

 Lol yeah... one of a few reasons I rarely post about btc. It's really too bad I don't have nor do I want a shtick. Despite telling myself I'm going to fade out eventually, I'm on multiple times a day. I'm just too captivated by life to narrow my activities down to one thing that could be considered "content" 😂🤣

 Your shtick in my mind from now on will be “not having a shtick.” 😂

I’ve tried. I’m a blogger at heart, but blogs on here really get minimal interaction, so I only do it when my heart just needs to write.

Writing from the heart is always the best. I've enjoyed what you've shared & will definitely read more when/if the time comes.

 You don’t need non-btc content to get non-btc people on a social network. Social networks have 1% of creators, 10% of commentators and 89% of consumers. 

Incentivize creators to join nostr and get non-btc content and non-btc people. Unfortunately, nostr has nothing to offer to creators and general point of the core of nostr community is “we don’t need it, nostr already won because its a protocol”
