Oddbean new post about login | logout I think the best way to make Nostr mainstream would be marketing it as a platform where you, the users, can make money. If only such a thing truly existed. 😂 But unfortunately: "Your Alby Hub is currently offline"
Just post porn. It's what made VHS win over Betamax, it made the internet popular etc etc.
NO. Although you are correct, I want to make the world better, not worse.
Completely, guess we'll have to accept non-sovereign options that are easier to onboard for those who are interested in #nostr. (Primal is currently my go to in terms of mindless onboarding) Feels like it's a stepping stone that will eventually lead them to their hub, but we don't want to make things overcomplicated for people/artists who simply want to try it out and discover the MAGIC of nostr.
Many users make notes like: Monetization on Nostr in 1 month Vs Monetization on X in 1 month. Generally they are users with few followers on X or who cannot pay for the subscription... it seems silly but I think it works, you are not going to get an influencer out of X like this because the monopoly and the algorithm favors them and therefore they probably earn more money than here but a significant part does not monetize and a few sats can help them survive on a day to day basis
NIP-60 adoption fixes this, your npub comes with an e-cash wallet that can send and receive zaps. We're 10 years early to the party.
