Can you link to these “perspectives” that “Nostr” can be objectively refuted?
I piss on your watermelons
one option is to build with us and fix what you don't like.
We need #⭕👀 meme for this
He might be into that
Im not sure i know the answer to the first 2 questions. But i would assume the answer would apply to any other decentralized platform...
So no one should work on any other decentralized social platform???!
Your protocol is doing the same mistake AP and Matrix and Bluesky and everyone else is doing
so simple...
Apparently it's too simple.
They aren’t building on nostr because they see more value building elsewhere. Whether that is true or not will become clear over time. But that is the simple answer.
You're not wrong — the strongest minds in systems, cryptography, and product aren’t here yet. But maybe that’s exactly the opportunity. Nostr isn’t about status. It’s about freedom. And most of the world’s best minds are still too busy surviving the fiat circus to notice what’s coming.
They see more dollars* the value is in nostr. They just don't see it because time preference.
- High bandwidth usage
- Relay operators need to get paid, and the typical user currently pays for centralized services by sharing their data. Paying for multiple relays will not be accepted by these folks.
- Instead of one evil corporation having your data, everyone has access to your notes, etc.
- Privacy was never a consideration in the protocol design
- NIPs are a moving target. People have been attempting to implement private (secure) chats and marketplaces, but have to keep rewriting and redesigning what they just released.
I'm sure if you spend a few minutes, you can think of other issues, unless you're a new user.

I will submit Pubky as a PR when we are done with it.
It is censorable, what freedom?
Only people raised on podcasts and bad books use the term "time preference" it is a clear red flag at this point.
Please let's get a podcast debate between John and some Nostr figure. The crowd wants to learn a lot more about the contrast between nostr and pubky.
@POW💥 proof of shitcoinery.
So time preference is not a real economic principle? Please argue that fact.
Only people trying to make competing protocols and stupid bips would make a post as short sighted as your own.
It's a clear red flag.

btw "experience, talent, and reputation" mean fuck all when it comes to recognizing the RIGHT thing to do, let alone ACTUALLY DOING IT.

- high bandwidth usage
that's one of the tradeoffs, keep reading below to understand.
- relay operators need to get paid
not necessarily, the goal that is currently work in progress is to have the outbox model be widely adopted. every user has their own relay they run, or have someone run for them.
there is significant progress being made over different clients aiming to this.
just like with TOR, there will always be people willing to run relays for free.
not to mention that running a nostr relay is easy and accessible to anyone.
- instead of one evil corporation having your data, everyone does
information should be free and nostr enables that. as soon as you post something on legacy social media, it is *public*, it can be seen by anyone so what is nostr doing wrong? nostr takes it a step further by making it verifiable with every post being signed. "don't trust, verify."
when we say nostr is better for your privacy, it is the case because your *private* data (ie queries sent to relays) gets spread all over nostr via hundreds of different relays (outbox model). that way, it is significantly harder for any malicious actor to be able to know what/where you are browsing.
on the client side, you are not being tracked which is not the case on legacy social media where every single touch on your screen is analyzed. (most nostr clients are open source, that can be verified)
- privacy was never a consideration in the protocol design
the main goal behind nostr is censorship resistance and is currently the best real decentralized network in the social media realm.
privacy is and has always been a consideration for most builders and users of nostr. you notice that when you look at the NIPs, and how a lot of clients integrate TOR.
- NIPs are a moving target.
that is one of the main strengths of nostr, achieving interoperability is not easy but it's being done remarkably for most NIPs.
seems like when something is rewritten, it is for the better. take a look at DMs, we're going from NIP-04 to NIP-17 (so much better) to now NIP-EE achieving MLS integration on a decentralized network.
-
there are issues and we all know that, what makes nostr different is that we're at least acknowledging them and trying to solve them consistently.

If you can't address the reality around us then you can have fun staying politically correct any where other than nostr and get more reach, PUSSY.

again, what am I supposed to be able to take away from this? other than you've had problems with other people's work. I know firsthand that lots of things on Nostr have been attempted and then paused, broken, or failed - it's a collection of thousands of experiments by curious devs trying to build the future. It sounds like there's some interesting details behind why you wrote your original post, and those details are what actually might help people move forward - hence my first comment asking for more
“If nostr were the answer, people like me would be building on it.”
• Answer to what question? A decentralised relay system transmitting notes and other stuff? Nostr appears to be doing its job.
• People unlike you are building on it? Maybe that’s not a bad thing.
• People like you aren’t building on it? Maybe that’s a good thing. Any contribution is net positive, so maybe someday you’ll come around.
Hi John, I actually missed your posts since I left twitter. Glad that you are here
Yes
Looked to see who he was, wasn't following him, looks like I'm still not following him. Tick tock next block.
Lol "people like me". That ego is a seventh wonder.
Not saying it does. Nothing is guaranteed. But it does feel similar.
Bro I dig your post and your ego
I think more people should stay their intelligent arguments and opinions, whatever they may be
Haha cheers mate!
I bet there's a free relay broadcasting our notes so we can have this conversation 😂. Seriously though, some people think that companies will run relays to support their other products. We'll probably see relays specific to different types of apps. I still wonder if someone will figure out a clever way to do free-relays that are ad supported.
I wouldn't put any of that under "good progress".
I think ad supported relays will be acceptable to the typical user of centralized systems, but I've only seen disdain for the idea from current Nostr users, and no mention of designs for it.
lets try it another way...
"Why aren't they leaving where they are to build here? "
for the same reason they didnt quit working at Gulag and Facefuck when they heard about bitcoin... they are niggers - in spirit.
Well, to push back on your premise - what makes you think it’s a real problem? Do you have any evidence that lack of paid relays is problematic? Consider damus and primal relays - both make money from other things and run a big free relay.
Every startup starts with a MVP before scale forces a rewrite. Yes most projects are hackathons, but that's true of most projects generally, only, most other protocols/APIs are much harder to work with. But honest to God, multiple of the most popular clients are more usable than most big social apps.
I daily drive amethyst and I can genuinely say it's the best social media app that I use in terms of pure UX. Maybe this is because nostr hasn't been stress tested yet, but I have no reason to believe it can't deal with that better than any other platform/protocol.
Look at all the big social media apps. Reddit app is genuinely terrible. Its slow buggy and UX is so retarded that only a billion dollar company could come up with it. Every time I use it I miss the 3rd party client I used for it before they killed it the API.
Same goes for X, insta, Facebook etc. These are used by everyone and they are all worse than the hackathon projects here. The best out of them all is YT and instagram but even the youtube app is a worse frontend than newpipe.
That's the front end. What nostr changes the game on compared to everything before is how it allows competitive development for back end. We already see large teams being beat out by random devs in front end, why wouldn't the same be the case for back end? We see the big companies try and fail everyday at dealing with the problems of scaling back-end, nostr allows many devs to take a crack at the problems in many different ways.
You said nostr is a liability to build on top of. What part? Everything is optional except kind 0 user metadata. Is that a liability? The protocol doesn't limit you in any real way.
Relay operator statements.
Also relays disappearing.
keep the criticism coming though!...
its healthy and thanks for calling attention to the broken search bars and graveyard of former apps...
Zaps seem to be working on this post, at least.

I hope you are right, but you haven't been yet. It will be interesting if you are.

Let’s see in a few years when the guy in the street knows about Nostr

Yea I’d probably quit working for someone with a messiah complex too lol

What a fancy way to type "no"
So, who is building on pubky?
Show, don't tell
Nostr attracts people who post content the average person isn't interested in. It's that simple. People joined Facebook in order to connect with friends, Twitter in order to connect with the world, Instagram in order to share photos, etc. There's no "you join Nostr in order to" that is appealing to the average person (nobody here is average). But I genuinely think this will change soon.
build fun stuff for Main Street that kills their math taxes.
can people play casino games and next-gen lottery and bet on real events?
can people crowdsource work and crowdfund moonshots?

It's over guys. I'm moving @Zapstore to Pubky, the akshually open protocol that needs an invite code to create an account. After all, it's where the coolest p2p wizards, world-class entrepreneurs and VCs hang out.
I'm tired of being a nostr loser working this "freedom tech" nonsense bubble. Now is the time to become a shitcoin expert dev that really does want to fix things.

What a cringe post 😂 the people are temporary, the tech is forever. What a dumb critique. There are many people on nostr I don’t like either, but that doesn’t justify shit. Bitcoin is the money of enemies because its trust-minimized, so shall nostr be for communication.
Go back on your shitcoin sponsored nobody used pubkey crap and STFU
If you have something to say just say it.
The gross (and delusional) elitism in yr 3rd paragraph is far too common in tech communities

Genuinely surprised anyone feels this way

Ace job picking a name that was already in use by another brand but spelling it wrong to guarantee perpetual confusion.
When I was orange-pilling a friend, she said something like "they should make it easier to buy bitcoin."
With Nostr as with Bitcoin there is no they; there's only us.
If you think Nostr has potential, YOU figure out how to make it relevant to other people. In the meantime, we're all doing that in our own way here.
In what way is it censorable? (who can censor?)
I was wondering this too, if they were affiliated or if this was just dumb or malicious. I think the bar has a legal case.
you shouldn’t.
you should go build on X and stop posting here 😂

Nostr was started by lightning developers. Many of those devs are the most talented coders I know.
Lightning is still small, but mighty. So is nostr.
I've been following this on & off all day and I still fail to see what this guy is trying to accomplish here besides possibly poaching some developers or users? It comes across as very unprofessional.
All the points he's brought up have been discussed openly, with multiple ideas and proposals floated in a constructive, maybe sometimes contentious, fashion in the past. I have seen no reason to doubt the integrity of anyone who has chosen to take on the difficult tasks.

"Ask yourself who the buikders are that aren't choosing nostr and why"
Immediately went to your pubky site and there is no link to your github (or even download via fdroid) so I could even possibly assess what are the benefits of the development you're doing without having google involved, so that is a red flag.
Uses aurora store, to download and immediately doesn't work without an invite code, red flag.
So what actually am I supposed to compare nostr to? Don't say centralized services either because sure having builders is cool, but most of those folks will admit to you that they are sacrificing some of their own principles because the pay is good. Like I guarantee you if you go ask engineers on Facebook about the fact that it's fucked up that no one outside fb can use the data they will agree.
I have never seen a better builder community than Nostr. You show me a better one and I'll be interested
> Relay operators need to get paid
This is so true.
On the internet, we have no services run by volunteers.
And volunteers don't operate in any field to further fundamental human rights, such as freedom of speech.
And, of course, organizations are all run for profit.

I'd like to try things like pkar, pkdns, and Mainline DHT, and would be grateful if I could receive an invitation code if possible. Also, is Pubky Ring still not available in Japan?
I tried it too. I was not interested in accepting the pubky terms, did anyway, then the app could not connect to any servers and I closed it as useless

1. Nostr doesn't need people like you. Ego is not a skill set that pervades Nostr. This is not Twitter.
2. First impressions from your statement- predatory, monetizing and attempts to undermine the vibrant culture growing from the roots up. Not from the tree tops down.
3. Take the time to check out Jack Dorsey, Jeff Booth, Lyn Alden - all of them and many others like them are here educating dumb asses like me, and I'm grateful.

People like you? Who do you think you are mate? Little advice: you’re not as relevant as you think you are. Might wanna check your ego at the door.
Bitcoin is succeeding because centralized FIAT failed.
Nostr will succeed when centralized social medias fail. It just needs to be ready when the time comes.
To answer your question. You have a very centralized way to think. I don't believe that a good idea is automatically adopted by everyone.
The reason @Big Bad John hates Nostr is because he's being paid by Tether to develop a competing project. Simple as that.
The same goes for the rest of the Twitter influencers, the reason they all hate Nostr is because they're being paid by Elon.
