 Censorship resistance is not a main selling point, would not prioritize it. Focus on the social graph portability with no permission (even tho we know they are essentially the same thing) 
 I would not focus immediately on the negative. State how awesome nostr is

Then below use questions such as "have you ever had x/ig/tiktok removed a comment you made?" (Or any similar questions any normie can relate to)...and then present the nostr solution more fleshed out

 I understand the 1 btc = 1 btc meme but isn't it a bit hypocritical?

Isn't it conveying the idea that the price does not matter?

I find it hard to believe a significant increase in purchasing power for someone's goods and services makes no difference 
 I'm talking about the purchasing power 1 btc gives you, not how much energy it took 
 Why do we connect/publish to so many relays?

It seems like an absolute waste of bandwidth, storage, processing when probably no one here is being censored.

Not a good tradeoff in my view: it directly leads to worse UX, which directly leads to less adoption.

#asknostr 
 Why 3-5? I'm arguing for one relay per user, and probably out of a set of popular ones. When you aggregate relays in an outbox model, you want to connect to as few as possible. The more relays the worse UX. This is how we lose.

An interesting alternative is to have relays that work as aggregators like filter.nostr.wine  
 Outbox will make this problem even worse 
 *potentially 
 Sure. I am referring to relays to write notes to 
 How is it supposed to work, outbox? 
 True but I still don't see how connecting to a ton of smaller relays from a client will result in user experience matching/exceeding centralized services. My hunch is this will have to be solved server side and with trust 
 Awesome! And yes, totally agree 
 Interesting 
 If you’re a man who’s struggling with low self esteem let me tell you going to therapy isn’... 
 Partially true. Life is more nuanced.

Low self esteem can manifest in different ways, and talking is essential in the thinking process. Why do you think we value free speech so much?

So many times we hide low self esteem by "doing" things as a way of escaping instead of facing the fears right on. For that you need to understand patterns of the mind, your self and your shadow.

So the actual good advice is: yes, totally go do things in the physical  world *and* consider talking to a good therapist.

 By far the most likely.

NIP-01 should force clients to expose REQs through a regular HTTP endpoint (in addition to websockets) where to fall back on.

I implemented that on relay.zap.store. 20 lines of code.

 Sounds like relay connection issues?

 On the topic of painful nostr: nostrudel is impossible to use with a single paid nostr.wine relay. It constantly loses the auth and it's not easy to reconnect.

Recommendations for open source MacOS clients that work well with auth? (desktop or web) 
 Appreciate it, thanks! 
 Poor experience trying to onboard newbs to nostr during the conference (mostly on iOS which I do not use), around 10-12 people.

Granted the cell coverage was not great and not sure I remember everything that went wrong, but users were generally confused with loading/lacking data.

Create a profile, then I tried to follow them but could not find them from Amethyst. So scanned QR code, which is a non-obvious step. Then their profile showed just the npub but no info or pfp, some commented on that. Followed them but they didn't receive a notification for that on Damus, this confused most. And then what? Post a note? (I was recommending #introductions ).

While you wait for all this to load, tap, retry... between laughs you need to come up with conversation and try to somewhat defend nostr, tell them we're early and bugs will be fixed etc.

On Primal follows do appear but feeds don't load. And it autofollows a bunch of random people - some liked it some didn;t. They posted a note and I wanted to like/zap it but I could not see that note on my client either, even though I'm connected to major relays (could be nostr.wine's fault, but I tried with the zap.store account as well). I saw one guy KYC himself 3 times with the wallet because when he switched to his email client to get the code and the app kept resetting the screen.

Lucky that the majority of people were eager and did their best to try.

Since some of these were after Jordi's talk where he offered several clients to download, it was not always my choice/recommendation on which client to download - they just came with it.

I know we do our best but guys... it's bad.

This reminds me of getting a newb to open a LN channel and get liquidity. Painful. If we have to centralize more to better onramps, so be it.
