 C makes nostr look most like „the one special & serious thing“ i like that one. 

The target group is almost everyone..

The need for nostr can be viewed from different perspectives 

At this stage it may be more appealing when it looks like it’s made by a smaller number of people, what it actually is, with the wish to be supported to fight for decentralization. It’s a call to create & to build together, an invitation for a new way to communicate with the wide world. More familiar, for those who are willing to participate to make the thing roll 🙌🏼
₿ is very appealing for that.

I think A may be more welcoming for subject or technical based information about nostr! 


If anyone would like to add something, let me hear! :)

Hmm. An idea popped from @franny perspective



@dtonon @fiatjaf @Linda 

What if there were a website “nostr is for ______ “ where the home page cycles between apps, profile pictures of the developers, and a few users + quotes + PFPs (similar to the njump.me landing page intro animation) https://image.nostr.build/b4bc7800d48df515e04538bde0ef3aedcaa2713030d38ec344dabb535e72e3b5.png

View 1/n “Nostr is for freedom maximalists” 
Jb55 PFP creator of Damus app
Enthusiastic damus supporter #1 PFP + quote “I love zaps”



View 2/n “Nostr is for anarchists” Rabble PFP + Nos app Enthusiastic Nos supporter #1 PFP + quote “I love my moderated community”


View 3/n “Nostr is for musician” Mike PFP + Tunestr app + enthusiastic mysician “value for value on nostr lets me escape from the app” etc

As opposed to a vague and broad protocol description, there are now concrete examples of real apps from real devs solving problems for real customers. There is one nostr. There are many apps, devs, and customers.
