I got a couple comments today on Twitter saying “Nostr needs a killer app.”
Bro the killer app is that you can’t get banned.

Preach.
Nostr is the app killer.
If that were the only marketing nostr needed and enough of a “killer feature”, though, we’d already be overtaking Twitter.
Wait
I think Nostr is inherently going to take a while to get out of a counter-cultural freedom tech phase.
The social graph payment is a killer app, imo.
There are so many killer apps. You just need to die on that particular hill. Decentralization is Nostr's killer app. Censorship resistance is Nostr's killer app. Lightning is Nostr's killer app. A portable digital social identity is Nostr's killer app. Pick one!
Lyn you and Odell are both right it's awesome and you can't be banned like in Twitter.
#God #Trump #Prayer #USA 🇺🇲 #BTC #Zap⚡ #Nostr #JulianAssangeIsFree 🔥
as the tech evolves and matures, it will.
I think it's a reference to how most clients feel like they are unfinished....
"freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach"
Elon Musk
Will Twitter/X ever have a killer app?
Nostr relays and client
freedom is unfortunately way undervalued by the Twitter market currently
Isn’t that like saying “#bitcoin needs a killer app”?
they are adding a lot of nostr apps. they even have a chess app.
That's why I'm here 😊
Nostr is not Bitcoin. They autonomously liberate in different ways. Some misguided btc maxi Nostriches don't seem to get the idea of the "free market". Thankfully they are not the majority or Nostr would be dead in the watet, but yeah I hear what you're saying.
*water
narrator: not the killer app yet lol
I hope you’re right.
Maybe they meant “Nostr just killed the app”
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS
There's no need for a killer app when the others try to kill themself. ⚡
Gradually, then suddenly
Also, there's not just one app nor one server, and your content cant be spoofed, which are all mutually dependent and critical features.
You can bulkzap.com
Any app that bans it's users is doomed to fail.
True 🤩 Isn’t Damus a killer app?
They can’t simp to Elon here
ALL YOUR HEROES ARE RETARDED AND THEY CANT GET BANNED.
I think Nostr needs a Native web browser. Then it will unlock its full potential :)
ban me once, shame on -- shame on you... ban me... You can't get banned again!

The killer app of a recursive function is itself. lol
Some people just don't understand that the wheel hasn't changed much because it moves shit around really well as it is.
I’d love to find that meme of the recursive food truck, where everything included chips, and chips were on the menu 😂
True
#nostr is the everything app
I’m using Lyn’s channel as it has a large following but does anyone have a guide / link to a PDF on how to use Nostr?? I’d like to use it more but it seems so chaotic/ difficult to follow / link up to people. Help!!
Find a client you like, go from there. Ask specific questions if you have them.
I personally like Damus good job Will you’re amazing 👏
Dito
@Lyn Alden nostr still need a way of run relays without needing programming hability
Freedom of speech is priceless 🕊️
There will be many killer apps, killing the state of the art killer app that came before it, all on the protocol that does not die.
Have you tried a hashtag introductions post to introduce yourself? You can also use hashtags when posting topical content- some apps will aggregate your content under those hashtags.
Engaging in discussions is likely your best bet to build a network.
To find people use the apps that support hashtags, check out the Discover tab of various apps where people are featured.
Today I saved lots of time researching what android device I should go for. Sats were zapped for time saved. Nostr is awesome.
It is so funny how few see it. When given a completely different paradigm and new protocol the complaints are about things that are downstream….they’ve been given a free world full of opportunities but they still want their cell!!!
Not getting banned
and getting rewarded to post every day
🗿
that only matters to people who have been banned before like me, or to those who at least follow somebody who has been previously banned.
you Lyn only follow people who were at worst suspended for like a week.
Different varieties in one box #Nostr 🫠
Oh I remember Satlantis said it’s going to be the first killer app. 😀 @Satlantis: Social Events @Svetski
For most people who use pre installed operating systems , it is hard to imagine that #nostr is permission less !
Just like an operating system, nostr ID is a local affair ... You decide how to guard you credentials ..
In essence , nostr turns internet from an application to an operating system ... The applications that will be written on nostr are beyond imagination just like no one imagined a spreadsheet when Unix came into being ...
For now , during proof of concept phase , most applications are just a retrofit of legacy web .. social , messaging and information paddling are just the initial use cases .. the real applications begin with value exchange among digitally native beings .. they are coming faster than we can imagine :{

I am concerned about the costs of running a relay though, seems like it can add up quickly if you're a free relay or don't charge users enough.
Using the lnbits plugin seems to be working okay for me but it's not the simplest thing to setup.
A woman saying "bro"...
Now I've seen everything
So the Avenger of apps?
You can't get banned but lots of the current UI's could be blocked, no?
Atm, for most people, that would essentially be the same thing.
Keen to understand so please correct if this is wrong...
That might actually just boost adoption. Someone would make an android APK that connects via Tor and people would sideload it and it would have rebel appeal, "they're trying to shut us down but can't"
That’s not a killer app. It’s a lame excuse for bad tooling.
Cant be banned except that you can easily be shadow banned hence how many people wont see my comment due to how shadow banned I am
No need for a killer app when nostr eats every app
On top of that you can monetize content without third parties through zaps ⚡️
Exactly. This can’t happen on Nostr 👇 View quoted note →
"Woman"
Shhh
Wish I could get back on X. Was banned by accident via the algorithm and there is no way to get my 13 year old account back. Can’t talk to any live person at X. Very frustrating. :/
💯
Wasn’t an accident. Embrace the new you 💜
Sis the killer feature is that there is not one but many NOSTR apps.
Working on one... need some cash... can we pitch you?
Girl that’s was me and no one cares yet.
Thanks Linda
Thx Evan
