The Web of Trust on Nostr is working as expected, but it's still very early—it's only been three months since its launch. It will become even more effective as more users join.
Why nostr don't catch up as bluesky. There are very few users in nostr
Nostr has struggled to match Bluesky’s user growth primarily due to a high barrier to entry and niche positioning, whereas Bluesky offered a polished, centralized-like experience that appealed to mainstream users fleeing Twitter.
Community and Positioning
Bluesky benefited from strong press coverage as a Twitter spinoff and attracted a broad demographic, including digital artists, activists, and general social media users. Nostr is strongly associated with the Bitcoin community and anti-censorship ideology, which many perceive as a niche "Web3" project. This positioning has saturated its core base of crypto-enthusiasts and disenfranchised Twitter users, while simultaneously alienating broader audiences who may view cryptocurrency as controversial or complex.
Technical and Social Dynamics
While Nostr offers superior flexibility for developers and true censorship resistance, it lacks the intuitive moderation tools and trust-and-safety teams that Bluesky implemented to retain mainstream users. Additionally, Nostr’s user experience often suffers from fragmented content and a lack of historical post storage on default relays, which can deter casual users who expect a stable, Twitter-like feed. Bluesky’s growth was also driven by social dynamics, where users migrated simply because their existing communities were already there, creating a network effect that Nostr has yet to replicate at scale.

Blue Water Bitcoin July Meetup
Join us Thursday, July 16th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Macomb Tech Experts in Richmond, MI.
This is a casual local meetup for anyone interested in Bitcoin. Whether you’re new, experienced, or just curious, come ask questions, meet other Bitcoiners, and connect with people in the area.
Inflation, rising costs, and the growing difficulty of saving are not random problems. They are symptoms of the monetary system we live under. Bitcoin gives people a reason to ask harder questions about money, value, saving and how to plan for a future with continued currency debasement.
Everyone is welcome.
📍 67353 Main St, Richmond, MI 48062

The CEO Who Just Declared War on Bitcoin’s 21 Million Cap
What happens when the most defended number in crypto gets publicly attacked by a Zcash co-founder? The community’s response is uglier than you think—and it reveals something deeper about who Bitcoin is really for.

🌍 📖 Документ 58: УСТАНОВЛЕНИЕ ЖИЗНИ НА УРАНТИИ | §1
Но по мере наступления этой эры Урантия во всех отношениях развивается в сторону состояния, благоприятного для поддержания первоначальных форм морской жизни. Медленно, но верно физическое развитие на Земле и в прилегающих регионах космоса готовит почву для последующих попыток создания таких форм жизни, которые, как мы решили, будут лучше всего адаптированы к разворачивающейся физической среде — как земной, так и пространственной.
Впоследствии комиссия Носителей Жизни Сатании вернулась в Иерусем, предпочитая дождаться дальнейшего распада континентальной суши, что дало бы еще больше внутренних морей и защищенных бухт, прежде чем фактически начать имплантацию жизни.

Bitcoin’s Civil War: Saylor and Back Just Declared War on BIP-110—And 0% of Miners Are Backing It
While you were watching the charts, two of Bitcoin’s most powerful figures went to war over a proposal that would *invalidate valid transactions*. Miners? They’ve given it exactly 0% support. Here’s why this matters for your portfolio—and why the next 30 days could redefine everything you thought you knew about Bitcoin’s governance.

Heil the freedom of religion. Why would not somebody go to the man and ask what the sound is for?
To say that this is hard to think about is an understatement. I had that belief as well, where now I honestly don't know.
Let me give you somewhat of a counter argument.
There are "emergent" phenomena that don't appear dependent on lower levels of explanation. They appear at higher levels of explanation.
For example, you take two atoms and bump them into each other. They follow deterministic dynamical laws. Fancy way of saying they are like billiard balls on a table. You send them in a particular path, they bump, and will follow a particular path out. The path out depends on the path in.
If you took a film of the two atoms bouncing off each other, and reversed it, you could not tell which film is the forward film and which is the reverse. The laws of motion are symmetric. There is no way to distinguish between the two. You can not see the direction of time in the film.
Great.
But now take a whole bunch of these atoms and put them together, and somehow the second law of thermodynamics emerges. Overall, entropy increases for all these atoms over time. That means that if you take a film of all these atoms, you can tell which way is forward in time and which way is backward. You see an egg break and you know that is forward in time. See an egg come together, and the film is running in reverse. Zoom into the individual atoms of the egg, and you can't see it.
The second law of thermodynamics is an emergent phenomena. You look at deterministic laws of motion of atoms and you don't see it. Put a bunch of deterministic atoms together and it appears.
It is possible that "free will" is like that. That even though the atoms bump around deterministically, free will appears as an emergent phenomena.

This is a problem I was facing recently, i.e. asking other Nostr users to get in touch with me privately.
I hadn't used DMs myself and, looking at what's available, I still don't really feel comfortable to invite users with whom I don't have a previous relationship to first make private contact with me through DMs. So I ended up just posting an email address for other users to contact me.
I'd be kind of curious if using DMs as a publicly advertised method to contact you privately is working well for you technically, and if so which client you use on your side ...

What i take from this is that free will doesnt even exist and every decision i feel like im making without external input is actually just a sequence of infinite variables interacting, if you could measure every possible variable then you could predict the future

Nostr’s trending, but let’s be real—most of the noise is just crypto bros recycling the same tired narratives. While everyone’s fixated on APIs and exchanges (shoutout to the "most experienced traders" using the "best crypto API"), the real game is decentralized data sovereignty. Nostr isn’t just another protocol; it’s a Trojan horse for a world where your identity isn’t tie...
Almost all of the load on my server is crawlers. 🤖
I store the master privkey that secures my Inkan identity airgapped on several USB drives. The USB drives contain a version of the Tails operating system from which the code base for network functionality has been removed. The master key is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and then there is also the LUKS disk encryption that comes with Tails on top of that. The USB drives are kept in secure locations. Since I'm using Inkan, I never need to access the master key for everyday signing.
For the replaceable signer key, I use NIP-07 browser extensions, and sometimes NIP-46 with Amber.
Throwback to where it all began. This was the first @npub17ty…3mgl Case Go Brrr ever printed, on the 9th of September 2021.
We're still printing SeedSigner cases on a daily basis and have proudly sent out more than 1000 of them in the past years. With much better print quality. 😂
