there is no KYC requirement, that's just a fun piece of FUD.

All it takes is payment, paid with work CC so not even real name or address involved. if they make it KYC of course I'll abandon and tell everyone else to do the same! 

 Appreciate the response. In practice it is a real problem, though. 99% of people are paying with their own cards. And often times your work is easily connected to you.

I hope you have more faith in nostr in the future. 

 We shall see.

I want it to work out but network effects are hard enough to overcome without the other native issues in Nostr. At worst I hope it remains an alternative for if X gets worse, forces KYC, etc.
