# Nostr Onboarding Questionnaire
Below are are results of the nostr onboarding questionnaire created by elsat in early November, 2024. Responses are from 22 nostr surivors/masochists. Results are *not* representative of people who never made it past onboarding, or remained on nostr.

## I. Did you onboard to nostr on your cellular network, on wifi?
14 Wifi; 7 cell; 2 both; 1 other

## II. What was the biggest pain point in onboarding to nostr?
**Discovery**
Discover interesting content and other people
Finding the right content. Discovery.
Loading/lacking data
figuring out how to find interesting people
Finding npubs

### Value Prop & Learning Curve
Knowing how it differs from tradsofiu
Learning the difference between the protocol and the app I needed to download and onboard through.
Choosing a client.
Trying to figure it out on my own.

### Key management
Private/pub key handling
That's definitely key management. How and where to store it to have it secure, still accessible for use with other apps in a secure way.
Getting my nsec in without pasting it

### Relay setup
Setting up relays, discover interesting users to follow, building your own feed
figuring out relays
Finding reliable relays to join.

### Wallet Setup
Setting up a lightning wallet
Lightning wallets for sending and receiving Zaps.

**Notifications**
Notifications [presumably missing notifications]

### Accessibility
Finding a very good accessible client for the computer (I'm blind).  Amethyst seems to be good on my Android device, but I avoid smartphones.

### Scary links
I tried to "onboard" (ie expose) friends to nostr by sending them links to interesting/funny notes here and there. But some of the default sharing links I use (Amethyst -> Njump) are so long that they always think it's some spam. (Primal has nicer web links)

### Customization
Figuring out profile setup, lots of unfamiliar fields

## III. What part of nostr "wow'd" you, and when did this happen?

### take your social graph with you; distribute your data
That all the data is already there if you use different clients and you take your social graph with you through completely different apps.
 seamless account a mobility of course ccount
easy switching between clients
Moving my social graph between clients. Happened in the first days of usage.
Cross over between different clients. Happened on a Tuesday.

### V4V, freedom, exclusive, and censored content
Freedom, some V4V and exclusive content, some censored content
The clear messaging why nostr was better than mastodon/ activitypub

### Flexibility, BYO Algorithm, Control
The insane flexibility.  Nostr is a textbook example of "worse is better".  So I think I was converted when I realized how much could be built with this, not just social media.  My "Aha!  This is more than just a Twitter clone" moment was when I stumbled on Oddbean.  Also there's this whole "bring your own algorithm" / "build your own algorithm" to the social media side of it.  And we're starting to see that work out in practice, with things like bitvora's algo-relay.
Complete control
A digital portable social identity that I can take with me from one app to another. December 2022.
Experiencing the interoperability when i tried Listr, spring '23 I think
Initially it was decentralization and censorship resistance. You can spin a simple backup relay, own your data truly, and rebroadcast everything to different relays.
Amethyst, adjusting the relays

### Access to devs
Devs working in real time on it visible - too cool

### Zaps
Zapping! Right away
Zapping
zaps! and also the small community
After [initial censorship resistance phase is over], the most wow part was zaps, still is.
Zaps for shitposting & being able to login into different apps with the same account

### Cordiality
Open respectful discussion among people who do not agree
Friendly discourse of users. Not toxic like other special media. First day.

A combo of Amethyst (phone), nostrudel (web), and algia (command line).  I'm a command-line junky.  I also am fond of Oddbean, because it's basically a hackernews style thing built on top of nostr.

## VI Have you experienced a failure in onboarding others to nostr? What exactly happened?

> 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.

### difficulty / friction

> Picking a client

> Yes. It's too technical. You need many tools to accomplish small tasks.

> Yes, tried primal on Android. It failed to accept any profile changes

> Not able to find other npubs when using search in several clients

### stale

> They got no new events, because they followed only a few users

> They didn’t become frequent users because I’m the only person they know in nostr.

> They lose interest in the network compared to traditional social networks. They were normies.

> Some found it strange that you follow a bunch of bitcoiners (seemingly) by default (Primal iirc)

> yes. non bitcoiners not interested in joining a small network of people just yet

### quotes

> I haven't tried to bring anyone to nostr. I am a bit scared to do so, because the place has a rep of being a Nazi bar and an extension of the Bitcoin cult. I do think that it is what you make of it, and I've tried to argue that point with friends. It's a protocol, nothing more. Don't wanna interact with Nazis and use Bitcoin? Nothing says you have to.

> They don't care

> I have not convinced anyone to use nostr

> Too hard for most folk.

> Not really.

> No. Never tried.

> No, onboarded two successfully.

> Yeah I generally suck at getting people to check out new stuff

## VII What, if anything, do you think confuses people during onboarding to nostr? Why? Have you observed this?

> Setting a optional username is confusing for many and also they don't know what a NIP-05 is (they are likely to just fill in their existing mail address)

> Finding some people. No progress of loading content or indication of time. Slight confusion where are DMs, home, etc, tabs basically

> The why. Its much easier now, I was way confused DEC 22

> Same on boarding is difficult to people on Nostur.

> There is no app in the App Store called “nostr”

> nips and relays

> We tell people that you don't need KYC to use Nostr and then ask them for KYC for Lightning wallets.

> No in-client intro to the "what" and "how" of it all. I haven't witnessed that, but I believe it could squash preconceived notions.

> Key management. Especially because there is no key rotation(recovery option in a traditional email/phone way), if it leaks, you are done.

> Safe keeping of your nsec. There are many ways to do it, all of them unfamiliar to most users.

> When you don't see data you are expecting, be it a profile picture, a follow notification, or a note. Remember people who want to try Damus/Primal/etc microblogging clients come from twitter - so cater for transition from Twitter. Gen z snapchat/tiktok users don't care about nostr, no way to relate

> Understanding how to filter for non-Bitcoin content.

> need for setting up relays to filter the spam waves, finding the interesting follows, and difficulties setting up usable (even custodial) wallets.

> Why would I want to use nostr?

> Relays / keys

## VIII What, if anything, do you think scares people away during onboarding to nostr? Why? Have you observed this?

> Not much, but probably nsec backups and transfers if they knew

> Dark web scary things

> Technical questions

> Personal responsibility for keeping nsec safe

> Intuitiveness.

> just not enough people on it for them (non bitcoiners)

> Technical complexity with either Lightning or relay management.

> Depending on client, slowness, difficult search, or feeling empty upon arrival.

> Again, keys.

> Bitcoin blah blah

> I don't know anybody IRL that even use x

> Their core influencers haven't adopted nostr yet.

## IX What one improvement would make onboarding to nostr easier?

> Explain it s not a platform and the current app you're using is replacable by other by (re)using your keypair

> Twitter bridge

> Honestly, from a technical standpoint, I found it pretty easy. Especially with Amethyst on the phone. So I'm not sure if I have an opinion here.

> Private key management to hide the complexity

> Little guide somewhere or a buddy to ask questions

> An intelligent assistant to setup relays

> Reach

> bringing wallet of satoshi back! or some similar easy custodial lightning wallet

> Better user and content discovery.

> Clients dedicated to onboarding, education, and key management instead of social stuff

> Key recovery/rotation option. How? Hell if I know. Smart people say Frost, something, something. XD

> More established signing mechanisms

> An easy GoTo FAQ How to add people; how to zap; etc.

> Do not try to connect to 89239823932 relays and make it decentralized when people only care about the first impression?

> More "other things" micro-apps, not do-everything whale apps

> More users

## X What, if anything, do you think should be addressed, or added to onboarding to nostr across most nostr apps? Why?

> A skippable small visual intro guide

> Content discovery

> A way to hide duplicates of the same post.

>  Better user and content discovery.

> Introductory level education, expecting a traditional social app experience then not seeing it

> Right now for me everything starts and ends with key management. Maybe a simple signing and profile edit app available across all platforms and devices with option paired with hardware signing device.

> An onboarding relay. Only accepts the first note for an npub (kinds 0, 1, 3). Maybe

> Easier relay selection.

> Make bunker actually work

> Staged roll out of owning your own keys to help them understand what that means

## XI Do you have any other observations, feedback, or commentary on onboarding to nostr?

> Yes, I think I'd say that most of my complaints are social / cultural, not technical. Then again, I've been online since 1993.

> People have gotten lazy and are used to being fed content for their interests. This doesn't happen easily on Nostr and needs improvement.

> An empty feed is better than a pre-determined one.

> We suck and there's no good reason why

> I have never gotten bunker to work

## XII What is your favorite onboarding experience to an app outside nostr?

> Telegram

> Onboarding to the fediverse was pretty good. Witness the fact that a lot of blind twitter moved there.

> They're all mostly the same, email, password, confirm. So any that i can use without signup is superior.

> Can't recall any that really stands out. But in terms of following users during the onboarding what music streaming apps do is really nice. You get presented with a list of artists and based on what artists you check to follow list adapts and shows you similar suggestions.

> None in particular, but I like when account creation is delayed as much as possible, I.e there is a public experience for you to try the product with no commitment

> Several I can't recall now. But we need to make it AT LEAST as good as Twitter because that's where our users come from

> old Twitter, circa 2019

> I prefer no onboarding needed

> I like "log in with" buttons but fuck those walled gardens

> Telegram

Finding a very good accessible client for the computer (I'm blind).  Amethyst seems to be good on my Android device, but I avoid smartphones.

### Scary links
I tried to "onboard" (ie expose) friends to nostr by sending them links to interesting/funny notes here and there. But some of the default sharing links I use (Amethyst -> Njump) are so long that they always think it's some spam. (Primal has nicer web links)

### Customization
Figuring out profile setup, lots of unfamiliar fields

## III. What part of nostr "wow'd" you, and when did this happen?

### take your social graph with you; distribute your data
That all the data is already there if you use different clients and you take your social graph with you through completely different apps.
 seamless account a mobility of course ccount
easy switching between clients
Moving my social graph between clients. Happened in the first days of usage.
Cross over between different clients. Happened on a Tuesday.

### V4V, freedom, exclusive, and censored content
Freedom, some V4V and exclusive content, some censored content
The clear messaging why nostr was better than mastodon/ activitypub

### Flexibility, BYO Algorithm, Control
The insane flexibility.  Nostr is a textbook example of "worse is better".  So I think I was converted when I realized how much could be built with this, not just social media.  My "Aha!  This is more than just a Twitter clone" moment was when I stumbled on Oddbean.  Also there's this whole "bring your own algorithm" / "build your own algorithm" to the social media side of it.  And we're starting to see that work out in practice, with things like bitvora's algo-relay.
Complete control
A digital portable social identity that I can take with me from one app to another. December 2022.
Experiencing the interoperability when i tried Listr, spring '23 I think
Initially it was decentralization and censorship resistance. You can spin a simple backup relay, own your data truly, and rebroadcast everything to different relays.
Amethyst, adjusting the relays

### Access to devs
Devs working in real time on it visible - too cool

### Zaps
Zapping! Right away
Zapping
zaps! and also the small community
After [initial censorship resistance phase is over], the most wow part was zaps, still is.
Zaps for shitposting & being able to login into different apps with the same account

### Cordiality
Open respectful discussion among people who do not agree
Friendly discourse of users. Not toxic like other special media. First day.

## V Which app

astral.ninja
Damus
Various
A combo of Amethyst (phone), nostrudel (web), and algia (command line).  I'm a command-line junky.  I also am fond of Oddbean, because it's basically a hackernews style thing built on top of nostr.  But see my complaint about Nazi bar / Temple of Satoshi.  Could not recommend to friends.  At some point, I intend to set up strfry and my own Oddbean instance targeted to anti-capitalists.
Damus
Primal
Amethyst
Created my keys with alby

Can't remember the actual name
Branle

## VI Have you experienced a failure in onboarding others to nostr? What exactly happened?

> 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.

### difficulty / friction

> Picking a client

> Yes. It's too technical. You need many tools to accomplish small tasks.

> Yes, tried primal on Android. It failed to accept any profile changes

> Not able to find other npubs when using search in several clients

### stale

> They got no new events, because they followed only a few users

> They didn’t become frequent users because I’m the only person they know in nostr.

> They lose interest in the network compared to traditional social networks. They were normies.

> Some found it strange that you follow a bunch of bitcoiners (seemingly) by default (Primal iirc)

> yes. non bitcoiners not interested in joining a small network of people just yet

### quotes

> I haven't tried to bring anyone to nostr. I am a bit scared to do so, because the place has a rep of being a Nazi bar and an extension of the Bitcoin cult. I do think that it is what you make of it, and I've tried to argue that point with friends. It's a protocol, nothing more. Don't wanna interact with Nazis and use Bitcoin? Nothing says you have to.

> They don't care

> I have not convinced anyone to use nostr

> Too hard for most folk.

> Not really.

> No. Never tried.

> No, onboarded two successfully.

> Yeah I generally suck at getting people to check out new stuff

## VII What, if anything, do you think confuses people during onboarding to nostr? Why? Have you observed this?

> Setting a optional username is confusing for many and also they don't know what a NIP-05 is (they are likely to just fill in their existing mail address)

> Finding some people. No progress of loading content or indication of time. Slight confusion where are DMs, home, etc, tabs basically

> The why. Its much easier now, I was way confused DEC 22

> Same on boarding is difficult to people on Nostur.

> There is no app in the App Store called “nostr”

> nips and relays

> We tell people that you don't need KYC to use Nostr and then ask them for KYC for Lightning wallets.

> No in-client intro to the "what" and "how" of it all. I haven't witnessed that, but I believe it could squash preconceived notions.

> Key management. Especially because there is no key rotation(recovery option in a traditional email/phone way), if it leaks, you are done.

> Safe keeping of your nsec. There are many ways to do it, all of them unfamiliar to most users.

> When you don't see data you are expecting, be it a profile picture, a follow notification, or a note. Remember people who want to try Damus/Primal/etc microblogging clients come from twitter - so cater for transition from Twitter. Gen z snapchat/tiktok users don't care about nostr, no way to relate

> Understanding how to filter for non-Bitcoin content.

> need for setting up relays to filter the spam waves, finding the interesting follows, and difficulties setting up usable (even custodial) wallets.

> Why would I want to use nostr?

> Relays / keys

## VIII What, if anything, do you think scares people away during onboarding to nostr? Why? Have you observed this?

> Not much, but probably nsec backups and transfers if they knew

> Dark web scary things

> Technical questions

> Personal responsibility for keeping nsec safe

> Intuitiveness.

> just not enough people on it for them (non bitcoiners)

> Technical complexity with either Lightning or relay management.

> Depending on client, slowness, difficult search, or feeling empty upon arrival.

> Again, keys.

> Bitcoin blah blah

> I don't know anybody IRL that even use x

> Their core influencers haven't adopted nostr yet.

## IX What one improvement would make onboarding to nostr easier?

> Explain it s not a platform and the current app you're using is replacable by other by (re)using your keypair

> Twitter bridge

> Honestly, from a technical standpoint, I found it pretty easy. Especially with Amethyst on the phone. So I'm not sure if I have an opinion here.

> Private key management to hide the complexity

> Little guide somewhere or a buddy to ask questions

> An intelligent assistant to setup relays

> Reach

> bringing wallet of satoshi back! or some similar easy custodial lightning wallet

> Better user and content discovery.

> Clients dedicated to onboarding, education, and key management instead of social stuff

> Key recovery/rotation option. How? Hell if I know. Smart people say Frost, something, something. XD

> More established signing mechanisms

> An easy GoTo FAQ How to add people; how to zap; etc.

> Do not try to connect to 89239823932 relays and make it decentralized when people only care about the first impression?

> More "other things" micro-apps, not do-everything whale apps

> More users

## X What, if anything, do you think should be addressed, or added to onboarding to nostr across most nostr apps? Why?

> A skippable small visual intro guide

> Content discovery

> A way to hide duplicates of the same post.

>  Better user and content discovery.

> Introductory level education, expecting a traditional social app experience then not seeing it

> Right now for me everything starts and ends with key management. Maybe a simple signing and profile edit app available across all platforms and devices with option paired with hardware signing device.

> An onboarding relay. Only accepts the first note for an npub (kinds 0, 1, 3). Maybe

> Easier relay selection.

> Make bunker actually work

> Staged roll out of owning your own keys to help them understand what that means

There is one nostr. There are many apps, devs, and customers.


You can still register for the beta-test of my signing card, using security certified chips. Expecting samples ready by late 2025 Q1.

It also uses a custom platform with security-by-design, compared to the development approach of most other signers.

No bullshit claims, no cutting corners,  no overpriced hardware.

Freedom of association on display!

Really enjoying the nip-05 timeline view put together by nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p and team in Ditto.pub.

It's a fresh timeline, and great to see a self-assembling/self-curating list of folk. Does not seem too difficult to implement from dev side either (i.e. only populate timeline with certain nip-05 domain).

Its poor form, despite all the shortcomings of bluesky.

Would rather have real world examples of how nostr is awesome, and how the experience cannot and does not exist anywhere else.


** lets me escape from the spotify musician hamster wheel/gulag


> he need for nostr can be viewed from different perspectives

At this stage it may be more appealing when it looks like it’s made by a smaller number of people, what it actually is, with the wish to be supported to fight for decentralization. It’s a call to create & to build together, an invitation for a new way to communicate with the wide world

Hmm. An idea popped from nostr:npub1995y964wmxl94crx3ksfley24szjr390skdd237ex9z7ttp5c9lqld8vtf perspective

What if there were a website “nostr is for ______ “ where the home page cycles between apps, profile pictures of the developers, and a few users + quotes + PFPs (similar to the njump.me landing page intro animation) https://image.nostr.build/b4bc7800d48df515e04538bde0ef3aedcaa2713030d38ec344dabb535e72e3b5.png

As opposed to a vague and broad protocol description, there are now concrete examples of real apps from real devs solving problems for real customers. There is one nostr. There are many apps, devs, and customers.

?

My comment is not about light mode or dark mode (I use both).

It’s about the poor contrast of light font text on a light background.


Fair. I dont think I’ve ever shared stand-alone njump dot me link to non-nostr folk. Usually it is njump / neventID123etc.


I dont see how it is not practically the same, under different owners 🤷♂


BS marketing is on fire.

Why are they jumping from corporate lap onto another?

BS marketers have earned their keep.


The open internet was not designed for centralized control. Take back control with Nostr.

I like this direction. If its possible to keep it succinct, and explicitly say how nostr benefits solve this problem 💪


This sounds like the farcaster - bluesky marketing department 😂


I agree with this assessment


2) I perpetually receive the njump dot me looks like a virus link from non-nostr friends I have shared the njump link with. They are afraid to open the link

5) I dont see it explained as one of the first things in the screenshot you shared. If anything, the two visible paragraphs are a somewhat vague sounding problem statement.

I am looking for the answer to “What is the benefit/benefits? “ in the first few lines.


I agree the ownership of identity part is key.

Scary: “crytographic public private keypairs”
Bit more normie friendly: “own your identity”


> It’s bad because you won’t own anything on a site with signup/login.

> At sign up, you are just requesting to be recorded in some company's database.

Sure, you and I and many on nostr understand this.

For the new to nostr normie login/signup is a standard pattern.


Really? If I see spam/low quality/ poorly executed or designed landing page I close a mobile page right away.

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is the last desktop user remaining anyway, and he knows mobile rules over desktop

1) Remove all instances of keyword “decentralization”. This is used by the VC funded crypto scammers at farcaster

2) “what is njump” - people feel that njump dot me is a virus website. There should be a clear explanation as one of first things seen if folk have the courage to open a njump link. E.g. “njump previews notes published on nostr” as a sub header

3) for the love of my eyes, please improve the contrast - light grey on white; grey on grey is difficult to see for me and others (I am not a boomer, and I struggle with low contrast designs across nostr and beyond). Ideally black font - white background

4) in discussion with nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9 I’ve come to appreciate the term own. “Own your identity”. “Take your friends with you” (your implies ownership of this relationship)

5) per convo with nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p current optics are there is free speech on twitter. Yes nostr has this, unlike twitter. That said nostr positioning should focus on nostr strength on taking your identity, friends, content with you in *hundreds/thousands* of nostr apps. This is a unique experience.

See nostr:npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua findings nostr:note1mrdgqx93vc8nv465e853nvex5qvkzassrysq4effd68kaxdc8wys64f57c


nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 point of exercise is to identify what works well, and what doesnt.

For instance, per nostr:npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua discovery “decentralized” keyword has been converted to snake oil by the VC fundsd crypto scammers.

Perhaps nostr should avoid this marketing at the very least on landing pages to stay as far as possible away from the scammers, and the scam funding VCs.

What benefit do you receive from the Gab landing page?


> The existence of “sign up” and “log in” buttons

Is this good? Bad? Ugly?

Why, or why not?


When I talk about Nostr to people who know nothing about it they are excited that you can:
- own your social graph and take it with you
- your feed is only who you follow, not ads or other recommendations. The ability to curate is key

For people who take the plunge and join the biggest complaint is:
- lack of diverse content. Even people who own Bitcoin are sick of hearing about it all the time.
 - - Paired with 2 above, new users bail almost instantly bc they don’t see content that is relevant to their interests.
- in market research and also from user research people see Twitter-like apps as a great way to get news. On Nostr they don’t see the news they are looking for. This is not always mainstream news it can be specific to a topic or region. On Nostr most of the news is RSS feeds that often overwhelm a timeline making it difficult to see other content.
- - to solve the above problem Nos created a news relay news.nos.social that only select journalists can post to. We have plans to update it in the next couple of weeks to add more news outlets and journalists. NOTE: anyone can read from this relay.


I ask in the context of improving nostr landing pages. Some non-nostr apps sometimes do things well. Nostr devs should learn from things that work well.

Any ammo store is libertarian 😃

I’ve heard of fenix ammo. Havent used them.


Bizarre seeing people give out advice to wait until you're 35, to get married and have kids.

Has anyone considered that mating is supposed to happen BEFORE your brain starts to atrophy, and your gonads shrivel up, as that's sort of the point? Like, we're mammals. We're designed to reproduce sexually and pair-bond, and that's supposed to coincide with peak health and fertility.
Everything after 25 is downhill.

Your ruler uses cm or inches - whatever your preference is.

All of a sudden the international society of ruler central planners decree that today’s cm/inches are 40% smaller than yesterday’s cm/inches.

Did your nephew grow 40% in height overnight?

This is fiat central planning in a nutshell. All economic calculation is persistently and periodically rugged.

There are network effect benefits for a single marketplace spec.

Current marketplace implementations on nostr use at least two separate specs, which is not ideal for marketplace vendors or buyers.

There’s something surreal about these videos that engages you in a way you’ve never felt. None were edited, produced, or paraded for mass viewing. In fact, many were likely uploaded by accident or with a misunderstanding that complete strangers could see it. YouTube automatically removes harmful or violent content, so what remains exists in a unique, almost paradoxical state: forbidden, yet harmless. Putting all this together, searching IMG_XXXX offers the most authentic social feed ever seen on the Internet- in video, no less!

Roman Sterlingov, the alleged operator of the Bitcoin mixer Bitcoin Fog, has just been sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.

The government is now seizing the little Bitcoin he has left (hint hint that's how your strategic bitcoin reserve gets built), while the Billions of Dollars he allegedly made operating Bitcoin Fog continue to remain unaccounted for.

Here's a primer on the wild story of his prosecution and why it shook the chain analysis space – full story coming when more info on the sentencing is available.

People are completely lost in a world that makes absolutely no sense. Our science has hit a brick wall, our technologies are spiraling out of control, and the quest for self-identity and meaning has been clouded by the advent of postmodernism and money printing.

We live in a system that relies on a transactional paper currency being rapidly devalued by overprinting. Once you realise that time, energy, and money must be in symbiosis with one another—and that money is a form of language between humans—you can see why people have lost all sense of logic.

Recommended interoperability practice is to convert any link outs generated in your app to e.g. nostr : neventID prior to publication.

Currently sixteen states have laws — usually ghost written by regional telecom monopolies — restrict or outright ban community broadband. Some of these laws are outright bans on community broadband, basically letting Comcast or AT&T veto your local infrastructure voting rights. Others erect elaborate, cumbersome restrictions on the financing and expansion of such networks and pretend that’s not a ban.

Théo argued that pollsters should use what are known as neighbor polls that ask respondents which candidates they expect their neighbors to support. The idea is that people might not want to reveal their own preferences, but will indirectly reveal them when asked to guess who their neighbors plan to vote for.

Théo cited a handful of publicly released polls conducted in September using the neighbor method alongside the traditional method. These polls showed Harris’s support was several percentage points lower when respondents were asked who their neighbors would vote for, compared with the result that came from directly asking which candidate they supported.

To Théo, this was evidence that pollsters were—once again—underestimating Trump’s support
