Yeah, nostr is not doing well... 🤷

Yep, I went through my list and maybe 10% inactive over 8 months

I might post less, but I'm not sleeping somewhere else, I just post less at all. But I should start again with my blog and maybe crosspost to nostr.

Ditto. I'm using nostr less because I'm using the internet less. That's all.

What do you think happened 🤔

Bitcoin in general has stalled a bit price wise and I think the whole Knots vs Core thing has people a little exhausted maybe

we all wait for each other it’ll never happen… let’s just kickstart it again now!

Shouldn't matter. It needs adoption by non-bitcoiners, and they feel like there is too much talk about bitcoin here I think 😁

Make Nostr Active Again 🤜 nostr:nevent1qqsdsn0gx2ypa2ptxe26n34plf5af9w5dgc3gkdxtsx83p0r7qr0uzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduh3tat0

Boost it 🫡

What content would you like to see here?

Maybe Even the mempool is empty though I know that’s reflective that LN and the likes are working But still…I think generally thinks are quiet It’s All Quiet On The Bitcoin Front :)

Maybe the have been banned...😏

Nothing happened. I think people forget that #Nostr is a protocol, like https. #Nostr isn't social media, it can be anything. Twatter, Fakebook,TikTokk No are Sm. #Nostr is BDSM in comparison. Use the protocol, grow the protocol. Run your own relay. Hold the keys to your identity. Free yourself from the Gulag

Too many who care about NGU rather than freedom money. And too many who care about attention rather than censorship free speech.

I post less and build more now. There is no alternative.

Makes sense that people who like a social media platform which doesn't try to manipulate you into spending every waking minute on it with addiction optimized algorithms and shady dark patterns would spend less time on social media in general. Now if the people behind those accounts you are thinking of just returned to rageposting on twitter, then yeah that is a bit sad.

Follow more people

many reasons why they would stop posting such as getting annoyed with others because on nostr telling them the truth is possible without getting banned, and that's something people aren't used it, so they are forced to hear the truth and it hurts them, or maybe they got bored, social media gets boring after a while, there's more fun things to do in real life like party with friends or, maybe they are taking a break, or many other reasons but it's actually more organic then X and replies are more then X, nostr rocks regardless if they left

and yet here i am posting

2140.wtf is organising a culture changing stream on NOSTR on 31st Oct, it's a day 1 of our nostr:nprofile1qqstasxf608yalqvzyt96u4csy5mkxhzv3jamp8ljpf8p4z6cn5u62gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2uc9v7ewc , a day 2 takes place at the nostr:nprofile1qqstkqt54cs6djkp5z5u3d9vd6la54kw29s9cv2mrqjfwz7zwhmj8xspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcdg6x8w where we will promote a culture of tech and a lot more. Nostr gives us the freedom we need and deserve from nations that are watching our every move. Join us to navigate that with a 12 hour stream of developers and users who know why Nostr is as important to life in the digital age as bitcoin is. We're looking for 10 to 25 minute long videos that we:ll stitch into one massive, never before done stream of information. Find your freedom on 31st Oct - Purple Paper Day!

True that. I dont even think that it's reflective of LN, its just general adoption done as it's too difficult to pay with bitcoin regulatory wise and for p2p people prefer cash .

I'm here 😅

I just spent 60 minutes with normies. They aren't coming to Nostr and they certainly aren't coming to Bitcoin. They are lost. The young may come but only if it's easier, safer, faster and cheaper by 10x. That's the cold hard truth of it all. nostr:nevent1qqsdsn0gx2ypa2ptxe26n34plf5af9w5dgc3gkdxtsx83p0r7qr0uzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduh3tat0

Still here and posting! 🤙👋

Ya, no replenishment here. Conversations get stale, people leave.

Users on #NOSTR arrive with enthusiasm, but what truly matters is consistency. #growNostr nostr:nevent1qqsdsn0gx2ypa2ptxe26n34plf5af9w5dgc3gkdxtsx83p0r7qr0uzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduh3tat0

Nostr thrives in bear markets. They’ll be back when the conversation is no longer about price action and Saylor.

The best are still posting and I'm happy only using nostr!

It’s a bit cliquey here.

Had a baby 👶...

Yes nostr:nevent1qqsdsn0gx2ypa2ptxe26n34plf5af9w5dgc3gkdxtsx83p0r7qr0uzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduh3tat0

This is the right response. Send yoir video to us and we will break the record with a massive stream https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9qwqn206zhvkw0kswgm8y5h8mv60n26aj4pcuh6e3guemk0e4p4spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyra6rw7c4dtlykr8x9taal26ljwwmgqyc6z9lxwmx95lujmphf6pvqcyqqqqqqgper9s4

Much like internet and bitcoin at the beginning. People will experiment and at first, then eventually find the utility and stay.

Working on it. We ( nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhh2mtzwfjkctnvda3kzmp6xsurgwqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgz7m0vgt45mrup49zpmtla7xdcq96fu4kwsm25zazgmc294l0pfrcdkm7pq ) and I we'll be doing an event on Porto about Nostr next week, please share with your Portuguese friends. https://www.satlantis.io/events/1072/Tired-of-Big-Tech%3F-Discover-a-Better-Internet-%E2%9A%A1%EF%B8%8F

Absolutely. I think the cool thing that can happen here are long-form out of the box conversations between all kinds of people. You know, really high resolution conversations that offend everybody on the left and right. Like for example being pro-UBI, Bitcoin, Swiss democracy, etc. Stuff that is very political and requires long form, civil, uncensorable communication. Overcoming the left and right barriers, norms, current ideas, etc. Really building/discussing ideas. I really like that kind of content but I don't see much (any) of it here. It would be really cool to have that kind of debate/conversation here. That debate happens on Reddit currently. It would be really cool if it started happening here. I think this is how we bring Reddit here too eventually. This is what interests me at least, high resolution conversations with good spirited people that really want to think and build something together. What interests you? What would you like to see on Nostr? What would you guys like to see on Nostr?

Had to look that up: "Cliquey = tending to form or hold exclusive groups and so not welcoming to outsiders." Definitely! We can make it more open though, there's always that possibility. I think it's changing to be honest. Some curation would definitely help too, some interesting debates/conversations, etc. Tags to follow those debates. Like for example: #conversation #asknostr #debate #debatenostr #political #politics Something like this? A combination that always has great discussions at all times? :D

Engagement seems to be focused on clickbait posts mostly so not surprising that that is boring

🤙🫂

I’m doing my best.

Keep being the change sir 🫡

Sure

I use to post a lot Joe. Update your follows 😜

testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at bitcoinculturefestival@geyser.fund, over a period of 20 minutes. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... also fyi... your server at geyser.fund is responsible for creating your zap invoices, and we found that it responded slowly... invoice generation took an average of 2905ms (2.9 seconds). we consider this slow... generally, zap invoices should be created in under one second. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

That's just life.... It ebbs and flows.

It sorts the wheat from the chaff. It reveals who's a larper and who's a ride-and-die (this is helpful information to have). It keeps Nostr pure, high signal. Personally, I'd be content with it never growing any bigger than this. It's active enough. Anyone that thinks otherwise likely has warped expectations borne from the sheer size of the current mainstream social media swamps. Adjust expectations accordingly.

it´s our turn to post nao! follow us to track price predictions. you can submit your own for a little fee in satoshis over lightning (you choose how much you pay). we post and repost when your prediction comes due. We have a nice overview of all predictions currently that are out there. So you save time by not scrolling twitter or listening to +100 podcasts!

Here!

Thanks for the follow, I’m gonna keep on keeping on as I really like the ideal of nostr and I’ve noticed some of the best voices in Bitcoin have gone nostr only. So I’m here for the long haul now!

It's a confusing Twitter clone only used by some Bitcoin maxi nerds. There's not any reason for normies to use it.

Don't worry, people may need a break from here. But that doesn't mean they are not coming back. I just got back from a 10 month long social media break. Let's continue to encourage social media breaks and take turns to grow nostr. People will always come back ☺️👌

Not all is lost. There are new accounts. Like this one! nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksqgrr4pkthcm0pkeddujn0kzsp44qkzk3lw8na2nmhkkryuhx23mlevma9mve
