What I want is a Nostr that has Bitcoin woven into it naturally. Where your notes are just as sovereign as your zaps, and it's dead simple for non-technical people to be part of that relationship. I know there's a technical hurdle here, but that's all it is. It's just an engineering problem. We can build this. I truly believe we don't need compromises and we don't need trade offs.

L.F.G!
Preach!
And build :)
Biggest hurdle is getting non-KYC Bitcoin.
Claude build this. Make no mistakes.
"we don't need compromises and we don't need trade offs"
When it comes to Bitcoin, there entire field is made up of compromises and tradeoffs because it is the real world barging into cyberspace.
In the rest of the digital world, the sentiment is accurate. But calling it engineering is a stretch.

Maybe Claude chooses Ark?
Amen
I think part of what makes this community special is that you know those who are on it also had to put in the work to get here. I understand wanting to make it a bit simpler though. Always room for improvement 👍
this.
Maybe coinjoin or mixer or something like that by default. And even then, it’s iffy.
The trade off of self hosting your notes is every users phone fills up faster.
The trade off of external third party infrastructure/centralized servers is you rely on others to host your notes.
The trade off of self hosted infrastructure is that it needs to be maintained.
The only solution I see to this is some sort of hashing/compression algorithm distributed via torrents where every note generated has an output that’s shared across users in a WoT which might minimize space but still storage is the primary chokehold overall.
The only way we can fix this is we start a Nostr superman 5D crystal hardware server thingy like @Start9 @Umbrel ☂️ where realistically the compressed hashed torrented data generated by a WoT network wouldn’t realistic be filled up unless transhumanism/tree of life/fountain of youth/etc. is accomplished, and we live longer than 120+ years.
The problem with the wot/mesh/torrent hosting however is you’re hosting fractions of other users notes, which could be a problem for less active users that don’t post as many notes which means the people they follow take up space on their phone but I’m assuming this could be offset with some zapping mechanism, PoW, or a specialized client where users enter knowing the risks of using the opt in feature on the client.
I downloaded Linux the other day and tried to open a windows app. Yup. Non Technical People is an understatement 😃
It is a big challenge. Am very technical in my areas of expertise but struggled navigating my way around the lightning related stuff and other things. Can't imagine how hard it is for non-techies.
However, have created zero trust architecture using Nostr encryption so am more than happy with Nostr. Have also hooked up marketing software (don't worry, am not over spamming 🤣).
Maybe once have finished my automated trading project will look more into nostr.
Believe in (and appreciate!!!) you bud!
I would argue that @peachbitcoin is easier to use than signing up to an exchange.
