Using Nostr for content creation/publishing is currently like a musician playing to an empty auditorium that is only halfway constructed, still has exposed wiring, and no food vending or functional bathrooms. The only audience are a couple of your friends, the construction workers, a few homeless people who camped out, and a handful of curious lookie-loos who pop their heads in from time to time. It really requires dedication to the vision of what Nostr could potentially become to devote substantial time here. Grateful for those who do so.


It's kind of a cool way to just try on a hat and see if it fits without exposing a potentially terrible idea to the whole world.


Already got way more cool collaborations and Sats #zap earnings than any ‘social’ media did for me ✍ Just Keep Creating 🤙 https://i.nostr.build/nlwE.png


Great analogy. Now someone help me put up this dry wall


I don’t quite understand the empty auditorium analogy. There’s a lot of thriving creators here.


Not sure I'd agree about the "thriving" part 😅 but I agree there are some good creators here. The analogy is simply that there isn't much of an audience here. That's ok in the short term. It won't be in the long term.


But...regardless the music is spectacular!


I play chess on chess.com. I wrote there that the site should implement lightning payments so you can tip good players / streamers. Almost everyone wrote, “but crypto fees are so high”. People don’t know anything about LN or #Nostr. Long long way to go


Hell yea brother 🔥🫡


Idk. I’ve no expectations about this place. It is powered by people, different in a sense that they may share the same goals and interests. However, wherever   people congregate it just becomes predictable.

I’m here to share but mostly to observe dumpster fires.

I LOVE ‘EM 🤣


Just like #bitcoin back in the day. Enjoy the small scale while it lasts.


Well, thanks for all the compliments, I feel flattered 🤭


lfg🤙


Onward 🫡


respect.


Did you call me homeless?


You're right, but depending on who you're talking to, its:
1. A place to communicate freely, regardless of the number of people.
2. They truly believe in its potential, and are being active on it (and some producing content on it) in preparation for those that'll come and be the source of content that they seek (which makes them have the opportunity of a first-mover winner).

And probably some other points.

With that said, people of point 1 and 2 (and other points) will stick with nostr and gather people to it, and will stay because the influencer is here, and a chain reaction will come from it.


I've been playing that club my whole life 😂


I am hopeful for the chain reaction. Nostr is rife with potential. 💜🫡


Well i see you’re following over 100 people now so that’s nice


Give me time, fellow nobody. It’s hard enough following 10 and keep up. Curating is like art. It’s hard.


Are you somebody if you follow nobody or are you nobody if you follow nobody?


Two words my friend.
Trust nobody.


*Looks at profile, sees majority of what they talk about is Bitcoin..*
That checks out.


It echoes in here. They will come but it’s gotta be over time.


I’m just the nobody who wandered in off the street to check it out. Waiting for something to happen. Being a part of what’s already happening.


Who we talking about?


his name and artwork didn't give that away for u?
checks out.

L as in lol hehe


Nobody knows


Life is a fine balance to far left or right and you box yourself in.

Follow who gets your brain moving

Not keep you brain dead 🫂

Not about numbers unless you cappin for #Nostr 🤣


Joe, you follow 28 people! No wonder it echoes


I’m not talking about from follows. I’m talking about the feed of posts. A couple thousand people in there and it’s usually just a few different conversations. Variety will come.


I’m okay with that. 😁 Never giving up. 💜

Here are the so-called 'few but good'.
I have more admirers of art here, than on all the social networks I have had to date.

Amazing 🤣🤣🤣


I'm making this my new banner pic lol 😂


Just as soon as Damus allows me to save profile changes again 🤣🤣


Well the homeless people zap you sats here. They figure you need it more than they do.


lol 😂


I stumbled onto Nostr a 2 years or so ago. i’m the old lady who bought 3 whole Bitcoin in 2016  & sold em, yeah. I yse to watch the news😑. Been on the peripheral til 2021. Vewy overwhelming for someone coming from Twitter thinking I knew web3. I know a little more now but still fumble. I have Damus & Now I am on Primal some,  just getting my feet wet. It’s a huge learning curve for some of us and people have always been welcoming here. I keep coming back. I’m on Lens mostly and sometimes DeSo. Being in a “ warehouse” of building tech with bugs and crashes, it takes someone who believes in decentralization & the principles that come with that. Most people don’t know what Testflight or beta is!!? I had to learn. I knew nothing. Right now, I am leaving so many people behind by their choice due to they would rather X than ostrich. I realize I created Onboard60 not to onboard other senior citizens but to onboard myself. The intensive dyor, curriculum I created, the conferences I went to thinking it was to get others my age here too. It’s shattering, sadly.


Is this thing on


As a musician, this metaphor is a little to visceral 😅 I think there's opportunity here, but still working on how to cultivate that.


We’re here for it! https://image.nostr.build/9e261f2350509720100445af8bba0a9da1c0615b26a9dc8cf890033e2f9e3e46.jpg

i like how your dog has an arrow at the back of his head, that's pretty unusual.

quite funny how it folds its tail down so much ... little dogs often are like that tho


She ain’t got no tail lol


she looks like some kind of daschund/collie blend


She is a corgie, just kind of a small and not too chonkie one.

I been waited for this moment to start posting cute pet pics on this account. https://image.nostr.build/721dee1dac26f49c5b2624497d3a33e19b736f82581371399ae4c9495c46c470.jpg


in it for the lolz


social media is only the early use case.

Ed Sheeran tells a story to packed audiences about one of the songs he still plays live how he played for years to the backs of people's heads.


that sounds about right. I check in every few weeks to see if I can actually browse and post


Also more other things are coming but indeed the BIT stands for #bitcoin :) what would you love to see more?


Here NO #bitcoin art. The process of life 👶🕺🧡💃💸☠ #artstr

And thank you for mention it. Next month I will focus again more on random, less bitcoin only art. There is so much to draw about in life.  #art #plebchain https://i.nostr.build/nlYn.jpg


Great analogy! Reminds me of a guy talking a bout bitcoin to an almost empty audience many years ago....


I yam who I yam

I think we should start working to find creators who are joining and support them. Help make lists of creators, send them zap's, repost their content, promote them to new users. Let's welcome and support creators. The way to get Nostr to have content beyond bitcoin is to support other stuff, embrace the diversity. And yes, show them we've got a financial model with lightning payments so they can directly get paid. The zaps are important, but we need to zap folks for posting all sorts of things.


still early. ......

Id be here more often if I didn't keep breaking my dev key server 5 times a week. But I am grateful for creatives who share their notes with me.


This one, I love.


Will come more of this in March. Working on new ‘general’ art in Spain 🏝✍

Who you calling homeless, bub?


It will be interesting to see who, and how many show up, when it’s fully built. I’ll be honest, they’ll probably piss me off.

Yes.


Right here learning, too!


Hardly. This 5000% more fun than twatter or masturbationdon

You guys are awesome!


This place is perfect... I came here to dick around and converse with characters like Deeznuts.  Right now is the peak ladies and gentlemen.


Usar o Nostr para criação de conteúdo e publicações atualmente é como ser um músico tocando em um auditório vazio que ainda não terminou de ser construído. os fios estão expostos, não há praça de alimentação e os banheiros não funcionam apropriadamente. As únicas pessoas que assistem ao show são poucos amigos, os peões da obra, uns mendigos que se encostam por ali e um punhado de curiosos que aparecem pra dar um peido de vez em quando. É preciso ter visão clara do que o Nostr pode se tornar para investir tempo criando pir aqui. Agradeço aos que assim fazem.

There may not be much of an audience here.

Hell, I’d describe this place as downright quiet nowadays.

That being said, you do compose some tremendous symphonies and your notes are one of the reasons I keep logging in. 🤙 🫡


Repost my stuff! I could use some subscribers on my nostr:npub1creatr06r4vr7rzx22f4kawdfj82yt09vw5rqw0kan8sr43h608s3dfeh6 haha


only is youre fame hungry.


I started doing #CreatrSunday 3 weeks ago where I highlight a handful of artists and creatives every week to try and promote their work! #artstr


Thanks man 🔥🫂🫡 I appreciate seeing you on here so much still. It has been really quiet recently. A little discouraging at times, honestly, because I really do believe Nostr has so much potential, and you don't necessarily see that at first when you start using it. But once it clicks for you, it's mind blowing. It enables people to be people, and cuts through all the bullshit that exists everywhere else. I'm not going anywhere and just hope more people keep trying it and can see its potential.


I was wondering this as well, it has been very quiet on here.
There’s a lot of people that haven’t posted in a while, not sure what’s going on.
I do hope they come back.


Ebbs and flows. Looking forward to returns as well. Sometimes quiet can be a good thing. Hoping so here.


Twitter is a cess pool of 💩. I opened an account to keep up with the CW court case but I don’t know if I can stay on there. The people are so awful


Only time will tell I guess, hope you are right Zach 💜


People there love the algorithms.


so I usually DCA but haven't had the opportunity to Put money into my account for about 3.5 months due to financial issues. so I have a 3.5 month Gap on my portfolio.

is it still okay to put 200 bucks in ?

my average buy price is 29K

is it still okay to buy Bitcoin?

Yea there are a lot of people I follow who were fairly active before, but haven't been now for a while. I think people will just naturally spend their time where they find others they want to spend time with, or more generally where they find content/activity they like. I believe as nostr continues to make it easier for people to create/publish content, as well as to find and connect with the content/creators they like, then it will naturally draw more people to use it, and then I becomes a domino effect. For now though it seems like a lot of people would rather keep going back to other networks. I think it will keep improving though.

Is there a central nostr directory or landing page we can list all the NPUBs and keep adding to it. I say this cos we will keep mentioning and only a few who ask see it. Rather than sending anyone and everyone the landing page and let them shop for the people of interest themselves to curate their nostr experience


I have a YouTube channel with almost 11,000 subscribers and they have paid me about $14 a month in ad revenue for the exact same videos I share on NOSTR with only 2k followers.

NOSTR zaps on the other hand have made me an average of $30 a month, and it's all in sound money.

What platform is more rewarding for creators 💪?


From: nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20


nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20 this is a good story / testimonial. I know nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy has also had more success on wavlake than on spotify.

We should help the creators we have be successful and use their experience to learn and make the ecosystem better.


ok


Having a client with video/media emphasis would be great. Sort of like the Media tab in twitter profiles.


I hope so too!


Luckily we're also #bitcoiners so we're prepared for DELAYED gratification 😂

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.

The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.

To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.

The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.

I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

Please save me.

As long as they are the right creators. Keep Bitcoin from being degenerate


You think differently about the EU and such places banning X once you start posting on Nostr. It's kind of like how it would probably actually be good for bitcoin if States went hard after exchanges because it would make hodlers less KYC'd. Both would likely suck in the short term though.

Clearly Nostr is the better choice for all involved. Congratulations to you for your videos.

That's awesome 🙌 Nostr enables so much in the way of real value exchange. It has improved and will continue to improve. Better tools for publishing. Better discoverability and filtering for users. Better metrics. These will go a long way for creators. I'm optimistic.


This may work for you?

Appreciate the shoutout! We want to offer patreon-like functionality within a nostr relay. We made a custom file host that allows for this level of access control to pair with it.

It’s a bit rough around the edges but the goal was for it to work in your existing nostr client by just adding a relay.

If anyone wants to try the Creatr side of things please DM me! Still invite only while we sort out any remaining issues.

are there any other non-Bitcoin first communities out there on Nostr?


A nostr native solution would be lists but they are not supported in all clients yet.

Should see my Spotify and wavlake stats side by side


Eso es porque tu contenido encaja en el público mayoritario de nostr ,si tus vídeos fueran de cocina ( es solo a manera de ejemplo) no tendrias ni un zap ⚡;


love it. it's great to continue to hear these stories. it continues to solidify the notion that we understand and appreciate proof of work and value for value more than any other community on the internet.


Feel better 💐


I noticed the same thing with twitter, but people mever count the monthly fee.

Qui n'arrivent pas à se situer dans cet environnement je vous avoue très chaotique où l'on peine à se repérer heureusement qu'il y ait de plus en plus des outils des modes d'emplois qui se créent de plus en plus afin qu'on s'y repère. Suis dedans en observation depuis plusieurs mois, demeure dans la curiosité, ai le sentiment c'est plus organisé au niveau des Bitcoiners pour le reste les utilisateurs font un mixage plus *libre * des outils de MZ, tout en demeurant sur l'en-soi qui peut être dérangeant sur le volet personnel, voire ubuesque, créant quelque fois des moments up & down qu'on partage en vase close,il y a aussi  un peu de X twiiter  sans cette  substance propre à Twitter en termes d'actualités, d'apports de connaissances indispensables dans nos sociétés actuelles, certaines thématiques sur certaines notes me semblent tabous ou sans échos chez certains qui se suivent, sainte horreur du terme flowers, qui a des effets sur l'individu.. Forcément par règle de bienséance on devrait peut-être les masquer cela permettait d'éviter des cercles dans lequels on finit par user d'emojis, les échanges peinent à s'appofondir entre pairs et on y gagnerait entre nous m'est avis.. Il y a des notes qui dérangent et sur lesquels on passe no comment puisque cela démontre autre chose chez l'individu sans interprétation d'aucune.. J'aurais aimé oser faire des feedbacks en termes de réparties..il y a encore à faire je salue les créateurs, peut-être je m'y mettrais sur le volet bien-être en ligne  voire certains maux véhiculés dans l'analyse de certaines notes. Aux clients de ne pas biaiser le comportement de l'utilisateur ni par des boosts ni par des zaps ce qui ne ferait qu'alimenter le circuit de la récompense chez des influenceurs ou simples nostriches..

Me concernant je recherche certains nostriches avec lesquelles nous pourrions échanger afin de pouvoir apoirter notre regard sur des problèmatiques d'ordre psychocial voire socioprofessionnel  ( risques de vulnérabilités sociales  handicap, mal logement, travail, chômage, santé, prévention des risques sociofessiionnel)... Nos divers décalages horaires sont aussi un des soucis) bien à vous tous..


Puis certains utilisateurs nostriches découvrent également des choses, des personnes méconnues dans leurs cercles avec un aspect *proximité virtuelle* qu'on retrouve peu dans certains réseaux sociaux


Je viens de noter cela avant d'avoir lu votre note... Ce serait trop


Quant nos. social, rabble il me semble que pour l'instant c'est  juste disponible sur ios de fait  vous aurez peut-être moins de feedbacks de multiples utilisateurs d'Android.. J 'ai tenté me semble être pour ios... Je ne peux me mettre d' installer l'apps sur mes téléphones qui sont tous Android.. N'y a t-il pas de possibilité sur nostr que vous puissiez créer des apps qui soient compatibles pour tous les supports puisque vous risquez de faire un double boulot comme nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr que cela doit être epuisant à court ou  moyen terme !?


Yes. And non-profits too. Nostr is potentially an awesome fundraising tool. I asked EFF to join, hopefully they will.


And it goes up over time


Really enjoy your videos on here


v4v has been incredible for me and my bands. New friends, new discoveries, new  music podcasts, some of the mates are even finally learning about bitcoin and nostr now that they have a few earned sats. They leapfrogged buying and went to straight to earning. No more churning, it's time for learning.

The change is real and it is happening right here in Nostr land.

I love hearing about people succeeding!


This is such a good comment. As a creator myself I was so surprised when I got onto Nostr the lack of things (outside of BTC) that I could find that engaged my interests. I guess this really means I start cross-posting my own content here to help fill out the world.


Hey, I post to nostr:npub1ew4qeq576v3vz4gukeseknqghx3x4jtlld8ftys9amrca6f3xfzsrm8jpd every Sunday! Please check it out!


I'm new to nostr and never really gotten a handle on all this Crypto stuff. I did some years ago earn enough on Steem to get some Amazon Gift Cards. Which I found really great. But could someone please do a video, guide or something that explains it step-by-step how to earn here in simplest way? Thanks.


I’m sure some folks will pop up with explainer videos and tutorials on how to setup lightning wallets so you can receive and send zaps of satoshis (microbitcoin) on Nostr. In my mind, the easiest way to do it is using the primal.net apps.


Hey man, thanks for the response. I'll take a look at Primal then :)
