 We’re in the process of doing user research on this and more generally what will make the new user experience work in a way where they stick around and keep using nostr.  
 Does your research involve leveraging “in person” or “existing” social connections? 

There are a lot of hurdles (technical and conceptual) in nostr onboarding.  GUI flows won’t tackle them all, but lots can be accomplished by having a real life friend to help pave the way. 

How has you researched looked at this variable? Have you considered what experienced wd be beneficial to grow the  advocate base? Thanks.  
 Word of mouth promotion. Local onboarding support. Social  recommendation engines. Web of trust solutions.

Because nostr is a “different kind” of social network, developing tools for nostr advocates to share nostr with family and friends is how nostr will grow and scale. 

How can I help?
