Oddbean new post about login | logout The fact that they can pull those numbers at all says all you need to know about their "decentralization". Unfortunately, most people don't actually want to fix the root cause, they just want a slightly nicer dictator. @rabble I'm curious, what do you think is bringing in all those users? Is it really just "discovery"?
Also this lol... DeCeNtRaLiZeD https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/b96448d227801ff4319256ae704f0b117ceb81d44e3b5396e3e96235f9dc4bfd.webp
in my opinion, i think Nostr has heavier concentration on development and lesser on user acquisition efforts in mind. The latter doesn't have to high expense or ads purchase related - at early stages its all about on segmenting users and narrow focus on reaching out to them. I think there are many missed opportunities on Nostr - lots of content (that is not bitcoin related) but its not a match to users who would have found it interesting. Also not always maximising content outputs.
That's a good call out. From looking at the data on stats.nostr.band, my take is that we've found very strong product market fit in our small starter segment. In my opinion, this is actually far more important than getting big growth at this point. We need to build out A LOT of basic infra before we'll be ready for large numbers of users flowing in. I guess I just point it out because a lot of people seem to be chomping at the bit to get big user numbers and attract more "normie" users, which I certainly wouldn't be pushing for quite yet.
Waitlist. That’s how a lot of these unknown startups grow. They make people ask around for invite codes. Clubhouse did the same.
