Kollider founder #[0]​ is now active on Nostr. Give him a follow and let us both know what you’d like to see us build!

Moment of appreciation for Nostr. Still blows my mind when I use it. A decentralized open communications protocol that’s forming a symbiotic relationship with Bitcoin. Built by a grassroots community, no tokens or VCs involved. Wild.

My biggest persistent problem with Nostr these days is that I’ll follow someone, and then randomly later I won’t be following them. Anyone have insights into how to fix this?

Are any paid relays operating on a pay-per-use model? Or is everything now based on a one-time admission fee?

The thing that excites me most about the future of Nostr is the algorithm market. Never before have social algorithms been subject to market forces. Either you like Twitter, IG, etc’s algorithm or you have to leave. Nostr will allow people to pick and choose. Want content sorted by likes? Sorted by zaps? Filtered through a web of trust? Unfiltered and raw? You can have any and all of that. And I can’t wait to see the user experiences it produces.

Is anyone interested in joining a small, high-signal Nostr group chat on Telegram? I’m putting one together. DM me and let me know.

KEEP NOSTR WEIRD! (for now) Right now, Nostr *should* be niche. There are too many things to figure out, UX hurdles to cross, etc before any attempt should be made to mass onboard users. I’ve already seen the churn amongst people I know and have recommended it to. For now, Nostr is for builders and early adopters. But eventually…

Is Zion doing anything that can't be done better with Nostr?

My biggest UX issue with Nostr right now is that I’ll follow someone, and then later on I’ll see I’m no longer following them. I’ve upgraded all my relays, and it happens even when I’m on the same clients. Any ideas #[0] #[1] ?

The grassroots movement around Nostr is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The sheer amount of brilliant people working for free, contributing ideas and code to make this protocol better. I’m in awe.

What are the most performant paid relays? I’ll happily pay up.
