If 35k is accurate (in terms of unique npubs writing content) I wonder how many lurkers are actually using nostr, i think the creator to lurker ratio is usually around 80/20, so active users might be much larger? nostr:note1d6aehu8nfxchmdqny7v583xqv0vqd8y54epf3a9364dudx664c2qn4w4k9


Connections to damus might be one of the best gauges we have tbh


I can write a script that samples the number of active connections every couple minutes


Think it's more about 1k non-nonsense real active users.


I can write and deploy 100.000 bots for your script 😑


it doesn't matter cause all of social- and digital media will go to zero against nostr and everyone will get their npub at the time they deserve.

early days of Bitcoin all over again. Fing love it!


People are more lazy than frightened by centralizm.


But how many counted are bots? Lol


I’d hope so
35k is real rookie numbers and we really need to up our game if that’s the case.


Ratio is usually 99/1.

...with 9% of the 99% being reply guys, if the research is to be believed.

I don't lurk.


35k are "trusted" pubkeys i.e. pubkeys with verified NIP 5. So we already have more than 100k weekly active users.

I doubt ratio of lurkers here is anywhere close to that of Twitter, mostly bc of the paucity of content (besides bitcoin and Nostr related posts).


I have been lurking for over ~1.5 years before I created this npub and now intend to stay. I created 1 or 2 in the past as tests. But as of a few days ago, ya got me.


wow!


Writing content includes reactions, so I would say 80/20 might be closer than 99/1


I'm a massive lurker. trying to be better😅


I think amount of lurkers here is less than 80%


Nostr rewards writing


Hello!


I am a lurker


not anymore
