I think of success of nostr in terms of it reaching people and catching their imagination in a significant number. And so far it hasn't really done that. I don't think anyone's really tried tbh.

I define success as "less than 100% of the people I say Nostr to in real life don't say 'What is Nostr?'"
Not quite there yet 😂
I don't see nostr as a product either btw, but let's just say nostr remained at this level of usage, would you call it successful? I'm not even thinking in terms of twitter or bliesky-sozwd usage. I think it does need to attract and inspire more people tho.
Irl or online. Basically no one on twitter knows what nostr is.
Because it is a protocol, no one is even going to really know what Nostr even is when that breakout app occurs. What we’ve already seen for Bitchat and Nymchat users. Most have never even heard of Nostr beforehand.
(I don't count bitcointwitter as people)

Nothing was good enough to try. It still isn't, but we can slowly see it getting there.
Bitchat might be the exception here, I think it is possible that has reached a significant amount of people, as a brand at least.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think unlike atprotocol and Bluesky, I think nostr is probably bigger as a brand of protocol than the nostr clients.
Yeah I think so, bitchat had/has viral potential maybe. It seemed to resonate with people. But it is also not the sort of thing people want to use a lot. Which is fine, but it seems difficult to reach a network effect tho.
