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.

(I don't count bitcointwitter as people)
