 this is great news. people don’t want to follow a bunch of people they don’t know and then have to figure out how to remove them. they just go elsewhere.

 The Voyage app's onboarding is the only client (I know of) that tried a different approach with hashtags /topic follows, rather than people follows.

The recommended follows on nostr are particularly offputting. They are either people from bitcointwitter who barely even post. Or people who are a tight clique here but perhaps offer little to no interest to someone new. 

But then again you assume everyone is social media-savvy enough to know that user recommendations on platforms are typically not the greatest offerings, anyway. 
 The influencer clique here is the worst. They follow each other and talk to each other, but don't interact much with the second class citizens adoring them in replies and zaps.  
 I know right? Some of them even have a bot that auto likes your replies. They're farming followers like it's twitter. Fucking influence peddlers. 
 I was 95% sure guy swann was using a bot like that, and seeing you say that pushed it to 100%.  
 Yeah I followed a couple of them when I first started. They don't ever even see what you say. That's fine, sometimes you just want to keep up with what people are saying. Automated replies though, and that with meaningless emojis... I've got too much self respect to dick ride people who measure me as a statistic. 
 This has always been the biggest hurdle. I’ve been pitching BTC since it was measured in parts of cents, and it’s all about headache involved in getting your hands on it, especially in the way everyone tells you to do: physical custody.

If we can make this a lot easier, that’s a real game changer. Otherwise, the space will continue to financialize and that’s bad for our political/economic ambitions as a movement. 
 subscribe to a bunch of people and then think about how to unsubscribe from them)) consistency at the highest level🤣 
 Come and bang me again 
 Ahah🤣 
 Right!!! Oops 😬 flux it … I don’t care anymore. Like old people don’t get it in.

Ima natural right … 
 Allow me to explain …
1. Obviously 🙄 I don’t count … ever 
2. Some just hit you differently 
3. For whatever reason I always felt the need to protect jack… but after this last year he’s apparently proven himself that he doesn’t need me 
4. Times more often than not … 
5x You see being sober isn’t awesome 😎 

Come and play with me … 😂😂😂
Okay ✅ THAT was fun 😂😂😂 
 Check fire 🔥 

Maybe he did need me to protect him spiritually or something. Who knows 😂

Like it or not, no longer matters. He’s grown into a man who rocks all the socks. 🧦 

Either way … it’s been an odd lifelong thing. It’s been good to release him. FINALLY YAY 🥳

 People should come to Nostr not for social media, but for other innovative features like games, zaps, or something unique that isn’t available anywhere else. 
 Is that what Damus does now?
@jb55 any details, please? 
 No we don’t do that 
 I joined Nostr because I wanted to learn more about Bitcoin. It's the most convenient platform for staying updated on the latest developments and general news.  
 wrong. both

payment infrastructure for devs is the blocker

the best UX is when people get paid 

( we need to fix this ) 
 VCs are broken 
NO infrastructure around the internet 

#nostr #bitcoin payment system sucks

i have the solution for Bitcoin payment infrastructure
@jack @jb55 let’s talk 
 we can’t onboard the mass if we don’t have this issue solved first  
 we were talking about it with @rabble 
 this is a small community. Yes it is

but all small communities belong to the earth

 @jack 

closing TBD was a great decision

#Nostr is the open-source protocol for global payments

( doesn't work but i have the solution )

i have developed the infrastructure that allows everyone to access and participate in the global economy

together we can establish #Bitcoin as the native currency for the Internet and we can move money much faster :)

let’s talk

To much going on  
 Its about time. Everyone has been so busy meming about how great nostr is, they failed yo notice that its literally the worst onboarding experience on the internet. 
 Why you dont zap comments? 😉☺️ 
 I’m new here, not going elsewhere, going to figure this new ecosystem out, guessing understanding how relays work is a big part of it… 
 indeed when i think of how to make currency realize the currency that is exchanged for currency is just artificial ( fake ) currency when currench is obtained / exchanged 
 👀 
 the interest graph concept used by tiktok and x foryou pages is very welcoming to newcommers 
 💯💯💯 
 I joined recently, and my first impressions was "wtf is this"?! By default I was following 100 bitcoin people, most of them looking like spammers. 
Luckily, one lady liked and zapped my post and it was a moment when I realized how powerful this protocol is. Especially for people like me who are normies as this community calls us, old school, not owning bitcoins...I embraced nostr and devoted a lot of time to unfollow many accounts I have nothing in common with. If nostr has a plan to make this mainstream, it needs to make onboarding more welcoming, but also find a way to render complex technical terms into simple and relatable language that avarege human being can understand. 
 yup, not the best onboarding experience
lots of unfollowing to do... 
 yeah exactly... need to remove the bloat from my Openvibe feed 
 🤞🏻
