Oddbean new post about login | logout i was talking to somebody very passionately about nostr today and they asked me if i was a programmer lol i guess it still sounds technically complex to most, i need to find better words that simplify everything for the lack of saying dumb it down even tho thatβs what i technically have to do even more so than im already doing which idk how but we gonna try
Just call it new internet.
Thatβs a nice ring to it π
Keypair and lightning is technically complex
thereβs so many good analogies to get the point across but idk if the problem is itβs too much all at once
Sell the benefits, not the features. Explain the problem it solves. Today, your posts are at the mercy of a central authority that can choose to amplify, shadow ban, censor, blockβ¦etc. There is no central authority on Nostr so your voice will be equal.
the complexity starts when they ask how it achieves that but yes spot on
Like any other sufficiently advanced technology. Itβs magic!
1000%
It's just like any of platform but you can't change your password, nobody is in charge and you get money Don't have to explain the specs to sell it πΈ
you right, the complexity only arises once they start asking βhowβ
But everyone will want to know why you can't change your password, how the money is sent, and how a something can work, without anyone being behind it.
If you're a Nostr power user, then you are a programmer, of sorts, actually.
It's a simple protocol which requires apps to put user privacy and security first. The opposite of Facebook etc
