You seem like a bot but I'll give an explanation anyway. I just wanted a vanity npub, simple as that 😄
I also want to test how many times I need to repost this to reach complete visibility
What do you mean? npubs are bech32 encoded representations of public keys and you sign serialized Nostr events with your secret key. Others can verify that a note is signed by you because the signature matches your public key.
There weren't any really and I'd guess it was by design. But we knew what we needed to do. nostr:nprofile1qqsth3eu4eq4qtw667jpzfvxmjh5gg5pp4s25j6hccmue5d8g6c8s3qpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv0v6v8t file storage was a crucial requirement to make this work over Nostr.
GitHub and GitLab are mature yes but what happens when they don't work for you anymore? It's all one company. That's what we're trying to solve. The beauty of it is that existing projects don't need to migrate, they can just cover their backs by pushing to GitHub and Nestr. Much like the current X influencers could (and probably should) cover their backs by establishing a Nostr presence for when they get deplatformed.
Oh yeah and then there's this project that you can use right now but it's only patches on Nostr. A bit different approach than what most devs are probably used to. We're aiming for a more complete solution with UX as close to GitHub as possible which has taken a lot more time. Especially the underlying scionic merkle tree storage system.
You make some good points there. I personally think the same way but I don't see Nestr as a backup since tracking issues over Nostr is more resilient than tracking them on a centralized platform. And I'm not expecting bitcoin core to jump on straight after launch 😄 that would be ridiculous given how slow core MUST go. And that goes for many other big projects as well like you said.
Here's my attempt to answer these questions:
Nostr is multiple apps and platforms that interoperate together. There are Twitter-like apps, Reddit-like apps and there will be any kind of app you can imagine.
The developer team of each individual Nostr app controls that specific app. You can take control of the content you create but if you choose not to, the data is stored on someone else's devices. Often volunteers who want Nostr to grow and succeed in creating a better internet that is not controlled by a few big corporations. You can be blocked by individual users but you cannot get deplatformed from Nostr. Ever.
Each Nostr app has a way to create a Nostr identity. Once you have created one, you can copy your secret key that was created for you to a login on a different Nostr app. You can modify your profile name of your Nostr identity on any profile page on any Nostr app. Creating a Nostr identity doesn't require you to provide any personal information and you won't be required to do so ever in the future.

Good question 😂 Don't trust, verify. The r/nostr community seems to suggest Amethyst, Damus, Primal and Snort to new users so I guess the Reddit-style client hasn't released yet. The point is to emphasize that Nostr isn't limited to just one use case.
The first introductory info page on Nostr that tries to explain Nostr to someone who has not heard a single thing about it should not mention JSON, TCP/IP, HTTP, `Event` or even the word protocol.
The three most basic questions that need answering are:
Is Nostr an app?
Who controls this?
How do I create an account?

OR, the plausible deniability of VPNs actually works and it's much harder for nation states to go after VPN providers that act as a proxy to literally any website.
How many dreams are too many?

Doesn't even require you to change platforms. It makes sure your code stays available even if someone doesn't like it.
Honestly this is the killer feature right here.

I respect Pavel Durov for not complying with the requests to hand over Telegram users' private data to authorities, but no one should be using Telegram due to the lack of end-to-end encryption by default and especially in group chats.
Don't use Telegram.
He has produced some stellar content in the past but I hear he ventured off to shitcoinery. There hasn't been any good content since. I don't see what good he would do on Nostr. If you start a-shitcoining at such a late stage in your bitcoin journey I don't know what to say...
He is? Wonder why I don't see anyone sharing his more recent videos anywhere.
Good to know I had the wrong impression on the shitcoin issue. Writing a technical book on a shitcoin is definitely not the same level of scammy behaviour than shilling one.
We went with the name Nestr because nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxy6t5vdhkjmnsv9exktnrdaksz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekh2arfdeuhwctvd3jhgtnrdaks9hhj2c has been adamant on RHR and Citadel Dispatch that all Nostr apps should have "str" in them.

Stellar. Getting some real #Nostriga fomo from these streams. Feels like the foundation of Nostr is really materializing. Let's make this thing happen! ✊ Freedom tech is hope.
