 I'm not usually against innovations, but mentally I had nostr on (my) good side of the story. It is true that there is a whole world out there and if they want to use nostr to exchange tokens, shells or pay with pictures of kittens I am not going to be the one to stop them. Anyway, I have the utmost respect for Monero and its community, of course.

 Nostr is going to introduce the kittencoin people to Lightning.

You don't evangelize by only preaching to the converted.

 the majority of cryptocurrency users DO NOT KNOW ABOUT LIGHTNING

really, they don't get it, some pretend they know but have never used it

and the moneros don't seem to understand that none of the hops in a payment route are blinded from the rest, it's at least as private as both parties in a bitcoin transaction using tor on both ends, the sending and the receiving

 I know they don't know. I hear them on podcasts complaining on and on about how Bitcoin is useless as a currency.
