I've been playing with #Nostr. Despite the cryptobro user base the underlying tech is, in fact, not Blockchain based, which is nice. I like the idea of a serverless social network that stays afloat with volunteer-run relays. Very cool model.
Still, the user base is a hard sell. Here's the best description I've heard of Nostr internally, and it's not a motivator...
@Alex yes they are very big on sending money to other users. especially the international accounts
@Alex The clients have a built in Bitcoin Lightning wallet connection making it easy to send Bitcoin from one person to another. It gets used frequently for just about any post a user finds valuable. Even most of the software bounties are paid this way.
Its also very appealing to the people sending money internationally because it alleviates the fees charged by traditionally sending remittances.
The community is very diverse but this is the one thing they share as a group.
