Looking for primal but for web basically. #asknostr #nostr #client npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Interesting one, and once the world will be free from censorship and risks that come from speaking - it won’t be necessary to hide right npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Thank you! And what is a mint for a user? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max this case will kill US reputation if they get him for speaking out hopefully it’ll drag till the elections or further and then with the new office I don’t think there will be a case left at all npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max bookmarked npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max sleek npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Can someone explain this in none dev way to understand what it unlocks for us - humans and users npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max definitely getting in with europe npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Asked my landlord today if it’s possible to pay with btc going forward: “Bitcoin? Not for me!” They’re from South Africa and got that apt in debt #bitcoin npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max non developer checking in 🫡 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max how primal is working but not damus? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max from levelsio on twitter? he's been sharing a lot of these recently, finally this stuff is getting public npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max They definitely are, but these names stay consistent and nostr is a recent thing while most of us are alive for a few decades now. So it makes it harder for people to find peers they know on nostr compared to facebook etc. This network effect may be slowing nostr down significantly and may be a blocker to adoption, unless we don't want more adoption npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Interesting thinking, but ideas come from people right, otherwise you could launch ChatGPT or any language LLM to spin up as many ideas you can handle right npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max in general, it feels kinda fake when you’re interacting with all these pseudonyms instead of people like on twitter Is it essential to hide our identities on nostr? Are we really in danger yet? Don’t think any government will go after us for sending a few sats back and forth npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max in trending it’s mostly memes, jack, dev updates etc npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max no no no man, just to follow people here who post regularly and on point npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Realizing it’s quite tedious to find people to follow on nostr, everyone is anonymous here, how do we network? Any lists of essential follows on nostr? #asknostr #nostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max what’s happening man npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Bought my first pizza today for bitcoin. Failed it lol, it was actual bitcoin which I only realized after I saw the 29k sats fee on my 40k sats order. Did we fail merchant education? It doesn’t make any sense to charge actual bitcoin for anything below €100-1000 right So most merchants don’t need bitcoin with the fees we’ve got rn #asknostr #merchants #bitcoin #madeira npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Ethereum has more visibility because it has more utility. Yes bitcoin is far superior when we look at our lifetime timeframe, but if you look for utility and solution for problems people have with money today - bitcoin is not the solution people have in mind and able to go with due to high costs, learning gap and bad UX npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Anyone here familiar with 0xdesigner? I’m thinking to do smth similar for BTC and Nostr, consistently #nostr #design #concept #vision npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max gm npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Are they claiming warpcast is decentralized? They’re not and it isn’t npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Bitcoin Atlantis coming to an end and I’m glad to make it here instead of a ETH Denver. Bitcoin is the best product out there to solve fiat money issues we’re having. But its lacking behind badly on accessibility, user experience, utility and adoption. I’ve heard and believe it as well that great products that are better than web2 and crypto alternatives should get people in for utility, it’s in everyone’s interests. There are some really great products coming out on nostr that I found out from the conference and already started looking deeper into. Next year for a Bitcoin Atlantis I can imagine a far bigger conference and with a lot more designers and products being showcased. Thanks everyone who made it possible and got me to be thinking about ways to push bitcoin utility as a cash system truly to the masses, globally and accessible Right now we don’t have anything close to that, Primal is the best app I’ve used so far on nostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Didn’t know about the hack sorry. Your email could’ve been scrapped from anywhere on web2 as well no? There’s a risk with every piece of personal information put online. But still there is a place for a client that asks for an email to increase adoption. No one outside nostr has any clue what npub means and I don’t think that’s an advantage. Private keys also being shared between any clients makes it a lot more riskier than having one place like a vault like wallet to sign you in for every nostr app using it or some form of abstraction to not be giving out full access to your profile for every client etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Well that’s one approach to build it, if he fails it’ll strengthen nostr right, if he succeeds - we’ll have to learn and adapt it to nostr, we win in all cases, why be negative with people and other founders especially over fucking email registration? look at how many users he’s got in the past month and how many nostr got look at how many bots are on nostr vs farcaster look at how many projects launched in a month on farcaster vs nostr people aren’t ready to go fully decentralized yet and they aren’t ready to switch to something that isn’t at least matching the UX of current mass market platforms being a designer myself, it’s very easy to beat UX of facebook or instagram, if we just copy it and remove ads - it’ll get people to switch already, we can already zap people too - that’d be a game changer farcaster gives you an option to buy its token with credit card, now imagine if you want to top up sats - what’s that process gonna look like if you don’t own any bitcoin which most people don’t? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max they have a small team of devs who work primarily on a client for farcaster npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max From bitcoin core talk and throughout the conference overall I keep hearing one thing: We need more designers, think more about UX, get more product people. Sometimes direct or indirect outlining issues designers could’ve pointed out easily. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max One example is if we’ve done an alternative search engine powered by nostr or some other protocol built specifically for search where user experience would be key and then using bitcoin there in a similar way nostr is using it. Now if we build a great brand for a search app, build it like a real product only without bureaucracy and having a centralized entity, program stakes and voting power? Can be anything but what’s new here and needs figuring out is a setup for a “company” of the future that belongs to the whole world so that we don’t have to worry about jurisdictions because we don’t have any on nostr or the internet right. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Like for a lightning wallet, all that a normal person needs to know is basically: - how to get lightning - how to receive - how to send/pay - maybe how to sell for fiat / how to buy for fiat - everything else is extra right, either for devs, node runners etc. merchants can have a separate use case, would’ve been dope to setup a marketing page targeting these 2 personas directly like uber has pages for drivers and passengers right npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Definitely up for it, rn I’m trying to make a living on web2/3 to not eat up too much of those hard earned sats. Once that’s solved we’re gonna push it further than its ever been ⚡️ Better resources/courses/education on nostr can be essential need here, what’s the best way to look into protocol etc, for a non developer? there must be a way like it wasn’t that hard for me to get how ETH L2s work and such and it’s best to learn in practice but when it’s all decentralized every mistake you do is critical in a way? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I’m going to look closer into designing something for nostr with founders on here eventually. There can be a centralized optional layer on top of decentralized rails too. Key thing here is that as web2 progresses further into UX which is already almost as far as it can be - nostr doesn’t stand a chance unless you’re a degen like me lol who’s going to get through all bugs and learn all the new things that are essential here right. While I haven’t been working on an app on nostr I can’t even get the whole context on the limitations etc, what do you think users will think? That’s a long discussion but it seems realistic for where we are, correct me if I’m wrong. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Makes sense, not undermining the incredible work done here, I get that it’s a lot harder than pushing a centralized thing and worth the effort. But as long as these limitations are here, there’s little designers can do and therefore there’s little reach of that technology leaps. I remember hearing something about Primal using caching service which is basically a centralized server no? To keep it running smoothly for UX, kind of a compromise? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max had us for a moment lol npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max making best UX and UI you’d enjoy using isn’t scam, and with comments like that are you producing anything of value for humanity? I’m advocating for a better humane design on all of bitcoin and nostr, bitcoin should be accessible to everyone and kinda cooler than ethereum stuff no? Why are we building it like houses in a cave instead of super modern glass on a shore that’s easy to access and get into (and definitely not scary to) Why aren’t we attracting best creative talent in and incentivizing to make bitcoin and nostr visually and from UX side spotless? Shitcoins can pay for it while the biggest cryptocurrency can’t? I know we’re doing it like people should come on their own, figure out what bitcoin is and eventually become maxi and push it further, maybe that’s a better way. I’m bullish though, Primal is great now and more coming, we’ll see if multiple clients concept will work, right now it seems like people are using whatever they find or is available on their platform, nothing works on all platforms equally well but we’ll get there. At least one example, for newcomers it can be a single go to app with rewards for completing learning bites etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I think there’s a lot we can learn from web3 (I know) projects. I love how they’re trying to escape the boring look of typical corporate giants, bootstrapping nature and there are some good ideas hiding behind all these airdrops and nfts - and it aligns in many ways with what we’re here for with bitcoin over time as bitcoin growths in terms of user adoption, ease of use and being an obvious go to solution for things other than money transfer, which is now getting far already with nostr - that’s where real growth and adoption happens. Check out this product built for ETH L2 for example hypersub.withfabric.xyz - it’s better than L2 alternatives in every way. This is how we should win people over, instead of telling them here is a link to 50 lightning wallets, some of them work on android only etc and then pick the one that works for you - but people need the basics - send and receive bitcoin, it’s that simple. I haven’t seen a wallet yet that’s intuitive, that’s probably the reason Primal built another one into the app. Now as I’m not a very active nostr user recently I still got like 3 places where I can have sats + a cashu thing We’d benefit from just collaborating on an open source single wallet we can point people to with intent to make it the simplest + can offer small incentives with a few sats at least to learn more about the underlying technology, on off ramps etc. Right now people install wallet of satoshi, primal or whatever but how to send actual sats to it? Big big question for people unfamiliar, unless someone else who already have it sends it. But since bitcoin is limited in supply and be more mainstream I’d expect on off ramps to be a bit less relevant over time. Ok wrapping up this long post haha just sharing thoughts after Day 1 of bitcoin atlantis #nostrdesign #atlantis https://m.primal.net/HgkK.jpg npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max would be nice to see a nostr client with channels or something even closer to reddit for easier discovery and separation of topics to talk about I’m spending some time on farcaster and I think that’s why I’m coming back It’s like having hundreds of communities vs only like one here in a single feed and based on your following alone #nostr #asknostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Interesting thing Jack mentioned also that there may or will be more decentralized protocols like nostr, hopefully we can even communicate cross protocol? also can be big if twitter connected to nostr and showed posts from it npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max no fiat is immune npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max to add another zero lmao npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max this is getting crazy npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I think we may be over explaining it in lots of cases npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Most people not realizing this yet npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Insane how far we’ve got, just reminded by Jack You can zap me in a tap and I can go down the street and have a dinner with these sats, literally, insane npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max lmao muted myself accidentally on primal npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max ONWARD IT IS npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max It’s crazy for a social media site to block people based on location vpn npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Norway putting their bags into BTC? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Channel has a curator or multiple, its own avatar and rules possibly, a bit like reddit npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Warpcast got channels, here it’s kind of a single feed only with option to be separated by hashtags it seems or within certain clients Then just attract the people who talk and share about other things Quite complex problem tbh npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What’s the advantage of using cashu instead of lightning? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max The tech seems pretty cool here, but explanation/marketing is so off Fine for an early version though Spending time on Farcaster I notice how quickly people bootstrap projects out there and they turn out to work really well from both marketing and tech Last month alone there are countless projects launched that are pretty awesome and make money for people. I think that what’s missing on nostr, zaps are cool but lightning has its issues and that the only currency we have with expensive on/off rails npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Yeah I meant as a user Cool thing that it’s already available to everyone on nostr Looks super technical tho, I’ve been having out full time on ETH space for the past weeks and it’s amazing how well they’ve got the user experience sorted npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Great intro on my opinion! What would be the steps to get this cashu setup? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I do web/product - dinosave.co / bento.me/mxd npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I’d bet more on the second npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max It’s a robbery basically npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max solid on my opinion, encountered maybe one bug over months dev community there seems to be super active, last Friday they released frames and today we already have a frame token, games playable in these frames and much more - such a simple feature pushed engagement to ATH I think it’s also because most people use warpcast from Dan, which makes him a great leader vs on nostr every client competes with each other on amount of bugs it has - on warpcast you just come in and engage with people npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max but they could be npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Instead of VCs it could be government or a community/fund who would help you financially to build your company and grow it With a community you’ll already have users, feedback loops etc. (similar to nouns) Government/community are more interested in making it better for the people rather than do a good business npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I think we need to support bootstrappers and give them more visibility and credit vs all these VC backed companies This week there is, for example, a popular app update for Amie and it gets lots of attention on Twitter It got $7 million for a calendar app SAAS lol. Issue also that VCs in majority want money out of you more than anything else so we end up seeing only success in how much startups earns and it’s often something B2B where a bigger corporation pays smaller company because they’ve got insane money in their accounts in the first place npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max No one can change the regulation, countless laws and taxes we’ve got, banks and finance. The ideas that would elevate us and change the world are pretty simple, bitcoin was founded because of that too But no one will allow you to do that because it’ll make a lot of people loose their monopolies and power npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I was excited to get ps5 but turned out they only have a few big titles and a lot of it is monsters or horror so I keep playing fifa lol like10 years ago + gta5 sometimes npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max whoa, I’ll think I’ll add bitcoin just in case too as a backup if someone wants to you ended up finding a way to get paid in bitcoin in the end haha, right? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Did you see anyone using it? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Launched my design subscription currenly on Base chain and using Credit cards. Is there anything similar on nostr or a payment provider using BTC/Lightning? Or is the only way nostr and bitcoin projects are progressing by funding directly to the people from opensats etc.? @npub1r0r…q9ac https://hypersub.withfabric.xyz/collection/amply-partner-miptrlhnajgg npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I’d be spending a lot more time on nostr if it had a good and reliable client on web like warpcast npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Imagine what would a more minimal snort look like + a rebrand #nostrdesign I'm currently playing with a few brands I find would benefit from a rebrand/redesign, projects where it'd add value (my bet). I'm launching a design subscription service soon and looking to add one or a few projects related to Bitcoin in the portfolio there. @npub1r0r…q9ac I haven't looked deep here but maybe there is a valuable project you know on top of your mind or you couldn't get to that I can rethink quickly? If anyone reading this needs rebrand/redesign help - let me know in the comments or DM. https://void.cat/d/BRUae2Ue26oapv34SACYun.webp npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Maybe network can be a cool, slightly faded pattern on the background? And on the front it can be a variation of N or anything else really - can iterate from there. I think with a pattern underneath it'd look and feel a lot better npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max That’s the indicator of why they’re failing. Must be hell internally, too slow and no innovation like all big companies except apple npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Found trending section very useful when something isn't working in the main one haha https://void.cat/d/3UuS83Zxw2ENopBPbYAZfe.webp npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Built a Framer website and a purchasable template in the last 3 days basically. https://sleekify.framer.website/ npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Anyone selects their country as US when shopping online to avoid paying VAT? How they can charge VAT for a product that’s not location based. These laws are too confusing for online transactions in fiat npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Something works sometimes now lol. To post this message I tried 5 times on Primal with 2 app restarts and now trying from snort on web lol npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max thanks! will post once ready 🫡 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max its all over the place in a way 😅 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max no, happy to, it's not public since a lot of work was private under agency. I'll be putting a simple personal site with what's public and smaller projects I did/working on. I'm sending you figma link in DM 🙌 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What happened to Snort? 😅 https://void.cat/d/4w3ynuASQ4CmFJ3gHP6XCN.webp
