Nostr is the app killer.

If that were the only marketing nostr needed and enough of a “killer feature”, though, we’d already be overtaking Twitter.

There are so many killer apps. You just need to die on that particular hill. Decentralization is Nostr's killer app. Censorship resistance is Nostr's killer app. Lightning is Nostr's killer app. A portable digital social identity is Nostr's killer app. Pick one!

Lyn you and Odell are both right it's awesome and you can't be banned like in Twitter. #God #Trump #Prayer #USA 🇺🇲 #BTC #Zap⚡ #Nostr #JulianAssangeIsFree 🔥

I think it's a reference to how most clients feel like they are unfinished....

"freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach" Elon Musk

Will Twitter/X ever have a killer app?

freedom is unfortunately way undervalued by the Twitter market currently

Isn’t that like saying “#bitcoin needs a killer app”?

they are adding a lot of nostr apps. they even have a chess app.

That's why I'm here 😊

Maybe they meant “Nostr just killed the app”

There's no need for a killer app when the others try to kill themself. ⚡

Also, there's not just one app nor one server, and your content cant be spoofed, which are all mutually dependent and critical features.

You can bulkzap.com

Any app that bans it's users is doomed to fail.

True 🤩 Isn’t Damus a killer app?

They can’t simp to Elon here

ALL YOUR HEROES ARE RETARDED AND THEY CANT GET BANNED.

I think Nostr needs a Native web browser. Then it will unlock its full potential :)

ban me once, shame on -- shame on you... ban me... You can't get banned again! View quoted note →

The killer app of a recursive function is itself. lol Some people just don't understand that the wheel hasn't changed much because it moves shit around really well as it is.

True

#nostr is the everything app

I personally like Damus good job Will you’re amazing 👏

Dito

@Lyn Alden nostr still need a way of run relays without needing programming hability

Freedom of speech is priceless 🕊️

There will be many killer apps, killing the state of the art killer app that came before it, all on the protocol that does not die.

Today I saved lots of time researching what android device I should go for. Sats were zapped for time saved. Nostr is awesome.

It is so funny how few see it. When given a completely different paradigm and new protocol the complaints are about things that are downstream….they’ve been given a free world full of opportunities but they still want their cell!!!

Not getting banned and getting rewarded to post every day 🗿

that only matters to people who have been banned before like me, or to those who at least follow somebody who has been previously banned. you Lyn only follow people who were at worst suspended for like a week.

Oh I remember Satlantis said it’s going to be the first killer app. 😀 @npub15xd2...t3l3 @npub1dtgg...up6m

For most people who use pre installed operating systems , it is hard to imagine that #nostr is permission less ! Just like an operating system, nostr ID is a local affair ... You decide how to guard you credentials .. In essence , nostr turns internet from an application to an operating system ... The applications that will be written on nostr are beyond imagination just like no one imagined a spreadsheet when Unix came into being ... For now , during proof of concept phase , most applications are just a retrofit of legacy web .. social , messaging and information paddling are just the initial use cases .. the real applications begin with value exchange among digitally native beings .. they are coming faster than we can imagine :{

I am concerned about the costs of running a relay though, seems like it can add up quickly if you're a free relay or don't charge users enough. Using the lnbits plugin seems to be working okay for me but it's not the simplest thing to setup.

A woman saying "bro"... Now I've seen everything

You can't get banned but lots of the current UI's could be blocked, no? Atm, for most people, that would essentially be the same thing. Keen to understand so please correct if this is wrong...

That’s not a killer app. It’s a lame excuse for bad tooling.

Cant be banned except that you can easily be shadow banned hence how many people wont see my comment due to how shadow banned I am

No need for a killer app when nostr eats every app

On top of that you can monetize content without third parties through zaps ⚡️

Exactly. This can’t happen on Nostr 👇 View quoted note →

Wish I could get back on X. Was banned by accident via the algorithm and there is no way to get my 13 year old account back. Can’t talk to any live person at X. Very frustrating. :/

💯

Sis the killer feature is that there is not one but many NOSTR apps.

Working on one... need some cash... can we pitch you?

Girl that’s was me and no one cares yet.
