We have money. How do we buy users with money?

Telegram creator threw money out of a window.

Well, for 5,000$ a month you can pull down 1,000,000 Twitter posts. That's 33,000 posts a day , about 1/3 the daily posts nostr has now (according to nostr.band 80k). So you pull these down, create keys for em, and setup some grouchy AI bots to reply sporadically to anyone that replies to the mirrored posts. So, for 15,000$/mo you could double the amount of daily nostr posts with all kinds of content that would diversify the topics significantly. Anyway, that's what other platforms do to bootstrap, they make fake content and/or pull it from an existing platform to seem like there's lots of users until the bootstrapping phase is complete.

More non-social apps using nostr as backend?

Buying people with money has become easier then anytime before in history.... INFLUENCERS 😆 + People are set in stone with the username and password mentality. Maybe long nSec string scares them away 🤷. Giving people one click login will absolutely give them a better experience but it will still require initial set up I guess. + More local nostr meetups and not just one big unconference far far away every few months. Local gatherings might make a big impact.

I would rather see a $15,000/mo airdrop to all Nostriches with a valid NIP-05.

Use that money to inform unaware users, tell the story of why they need nostr, and why we build

Maybe a Bitclout scheme on top of Nostr will go a long way.

Spend it on those models that post pictures of themselves in their underwear, those seem to get plenty of engagement. Nvm, the simps seem to be picking up that bill already.

Short: Zapertising Long: I used to work in digital marketing and growth as both a marketer and a programmer. The user acquisition cost is very high for traditional centralized platform/website/softwares. In one of my job, a paid user cost us 3000 USD to get. Meaning, if this person don't spend 3000+, the company lost money. That's why many Silicon Valley style companies lose more money with more users before they reach monopoly and they have to squeeze money back from users at that point. Because we separate the cost of client development, relay development and relay operation, it will be much cheaper to do digital marketing here. For example, I can develop a advertisement platform on top of Nostr without paying the whole cost of the network, therefore I can charge clients (sellers of goods) much less and/or give ad watcher cash back from sellers' advertisement budget. Now we have achived an impossible triangle in fiat world: 1. Lower cost for advertiser (ad distributor) 2. Lower cost for sellers 3. Get money to watch ads instead of pay money to block ads. I believe this is a great way to get more users and I am actually working on getting some VCs interested in this plan. If we can use VC money to grow Nostr, it believe it's a net win.

I love that we're talking about growth hacking a protocol

As much as I dislike the growth hacking originated from Facebook, it's indeed effective.

Ugh. Fine. I'll submit a request marketing plan and attempt to travel all over to various events and conferences promoting Nostr.

Create merchandise, which looks weird, but in a "cool" way. Limit its supply to a very low amount for no reason. Make it super expensive for no reason. This is the perfect recipe for making a brand, that seems so exclusive & "cool" that people want to join it. This is based on the idea around how sneaker & other clothing brands are doing it. It's also similar to NFTs. Create some shit, make it weirdly limited & exaggeratingly expensive & suddenly its artifical as well as senseless exclusivity draws people in.

$5. PayPal did it and Coinbase did it. That's 17k sats.

6000 users per btc.

Those were KYCd users to reduce abuse. Keeping KYC out of the equation means limited zapping or some proof of work. We could send satograms giving everyone with a lud16 lightning address identity set in their profile sats periodically.

Just wait for hyperbitcoinization.

You don’t. You buy them with your heart and soul.

Shit ! I wanted to write “you gaine them”, my synapses need some rest.

I agree 💯% i hve been working/creating/helping some projects like Amethyst & yana nostr clients with my design, and, i have recived just a few zaps, nothing compare with my normal clients that pay my bils on fiat, so, i just do it for pleasur and to help. So, i trust in the future, and i know with some MKT campaighs all nostr projects can Benefict. Hope like some people Invest in good projects like this One

Ironically, it's probably my fault for striking the negative note 😂 View quoted note →

We could pay for them to delete accounts! Proof of Exodus.
