Some bitcoiners are still sleeping on Nostr. My Riga talk was dedicated to them:

Just a matter of time. 😎
I been listening nonstop.
So much so that you were in my dream last night and I was asking about mints.
I appreciate what you have done creating primal, I use it daily.
The easiest zaps yet.
Bullish on Nostr!
If you have a bitcoiner friend who is not on Nostr yet, make sure they watch this talk:

That's wild! 😅
LFG!!
Finally got some mints working too!
LFG!
While I use Monero instead of Bitcoin, I still find things like this incredibly interesting.
Great presentation Miljan! I keep learning every day 💜
Everybody in #Bitcoin should have a #Nostr account.
Great talk man. I would say one of my personal highlights of 2024 edition. Hope to see you next year 🤟
Would you use zaps on nostr? Atomic swaps from btc to xmr seem pretty straightforward
Good talk—it really opens people’s eyes to possibilities they might not have considered. I’ve been pushing this message for a decade, about what apps, socials, and discovery can bring to Bitcoin. But it’s only now, with Jack on board, that more folks are listening.
That said, Nostr isn’t the only way to tie metadata to keypairs. It’s one of the clunkier, less extensible options, and changing anything in the NIPs takes forever. You mentioned the existing network has utility, but I doubt there are thousands of relays—it’s probably smaller, more centralized, and less reliable.
It’s a solid message, but I don’t think Nostr is the only path forward. The censorship resistance might be overhyped too—it could just be that Nostr’s smaller than Twitter, which might also be why people still use Twitter.
The micropayment angle is strong, maybe even a holy grail use case. But Bitcoin itself isn’t used much, which is a shame since npubs are taproot addresses. We could’ve built a whole free market on a non-rigged base layer by now, but there’s nothing happening at that intersection—a missed multi-billion dollar opportunity. And honestly, there’s no real appetite for Bitcoin base layer integration with Nostr. Hope you don’t mind me pushing back a bit here—I figure you might not get much of that in the comments
Tuned in for this years live stream of Honeybadger. Left purple pilled after your talk. Thank you ⚡️
@miljan Gostaria de sugerir tradução automática igual ao amesthyst para o app do Primal. Obrigado.
watching Nostr Riga brought me here
You made me realize how much we need nostr-ld (nostr linked data) a permissionless extensible data and discovery model for notes, and other stuff.
Legendary 🔥🫡💜
Bullish on nostr and freedom!!!
no, i wouldnt use zaps. I have my XMR address in my bio
I got how decentralized social networking is just the tip of the iceberg for all NOSTR enable to get.
What I'm less convinced of is to tight NOSTR to bitcoin and not genericcally to all blockchains. What stop using any layer2 for micropayments other than someone willing to implement it?
I hope NOSTR will find the way to integrate with other blockchains too on top of bitcoin
Open protocols for:
• Value ₿
• Payments ⚡
• Identity/communication 𓅦
Each is powerful on its own, but they need each other to thrive 🤝🚀

I need a purple pill because though I've dabbled, it hasn't yet felt like a clean experience all around. I'm here for it though
Good talk! Thank you for your service! ❤️
Thanks for the detailed feedback; I appreciate it!
Riga was absolutely amazing. Super glad you convinced me to come!
Always 🫂
The first step of a great journey
That was cool, great talk! Nostr is the glue we've all been sniffing! Love the potential and the momentum.
Let them lazy sleep. Lazies.
