Nostr hasn't attracted enough users because it's way too complicated.
I can't even begin to express how far nostr is over the complication threshold that prevents general adoption. That threshold is so far in the rearview mirror you can't even see it anymore.
A socks5 proxy is a simple feature, sure, of course. BUT integrating it reliably, securely, and maintaining it across a diverse ecosystem of clients and relays is a massive complexity cost. That's the issue.
I dunno, nostr has totally lost its simple beginnings. It's all bolting on this, and strapping on that, and glueing on this and duct-taping on that.
And the user numbers reflect that. This is not what people want.
