Yes, I see potential for Nostr in B2B with multi-sig backup, lightning backup, etc. — not sure that’s a $100m+ business idea, however? Unless maybe someone builds the Snowflake or AWS equivalent of broad-based cryptographically-secure and distributed backup solutions? Like a Backblaze competitor, maybe? IDK
I also think NWC is woefully under-utilised. Just seems to be an @npub1get…0nfm project that no one else gives a fuck about — which is a great shame. It seems to me to be extremely powerful, but the UX needs to be *way* more “Sign in with Google” and much less “Scan this QR/paste this string”.

Thanks for flagging Shosho.
I’m looking, which is why I’m posting — nothing Antidote has been willing to back, yet.
ZBD Social wasn’t needed for games with Nostr to succeed. That’s still compliant payments. When I think big, I think an EVE Online relay could speak to a Star Citizen relay… but that’s a way off and valuable use case for gaming still TBC. The low-hanging fruit is replicating what Zynga did with Words with Friends, but totally platform agnostic. It wouldn’t be the first game that demonstrates why this is powerful (the first Nostr game just needs to be a good game; it doesn’t even need Nostr). It would be games two and three that blow it up. Clash of Clans then Guilds of War, or whatever you want to call it, but with persistent guilds. And payments. And chat.
Saves game devs massive of custom build effort, potentially. But the back-end is orders of magnitude less important than very, very strong game design.

Absolutely. The Nostr protocol is a social protocol. It is 100% the secret sauce that makes it exciting. Especially with the flexibility it offers, and payments built-in.
But it also creates developer space that leads to nowhere. “Omg check out what I can do with my HTTP app!” says nothing to a potential customer.
“Play games with friends, trade and chat on all your devices” says something to a customer (demand and product TBD)

2026-07-07 21:41:52 UTC

These days, I tend to only find time to engage with Nostr when on holiday. That’s sort of just life, nowadays, but also a symptom of the fact that there are zero products to create daily engagement. For example:
1. Nothing new in social. Nostr does *not* have the social graph to compete, so it has to be innovation or games that drive engagement. There’s no innovation, and there are no games of note.
2. Productivity tools. This could be significant, but no one in Nostr seems to give a shit, because it’s just a big Bitcoin echo chamber.
3. Creator economy. Also could be good, but every project I see goes down some weird psychodrama path where there’s too much obsession with key ownership, anonymity or some other area that isn’t the problem a creator economy platform is meant to solve.
The protocol is not the app. Are you working on the protocol, or are you creating an app?
So many parallels with the Bitcoin ecosystem (unsurprisingly) as well.

2026-07-07 21:28:57 UTC

Nostr clients still suck. Primal got worse, not better.
Everything a poor twitter clone isn’t the way forward.
Exciting projects: White Noise (stalled? No one cares?), NostrVPN, diVine (bad name, bad launch), zapstream, GitHub replacements… Nostr as “more-than-socials” basically.
The medium/substack clones aren’t a big enough market.

They’ve been the go-to reference for a lot of the post punk revival that started in London in 2019/20. The original Black Country, New Road material drove the most comparisons, but I think it was a little overdone (critics thought comparisons made them sound clever imo). To me, Slint sit very squarely in Gen X apathy and I love it.

I’ve been spending time on Bluesky. I really quite like it.
Mainly because what I’m interested in—all the musicians and creative people I admire—is readily-available, discoverability is decent, and the community engagement is present.
Threads, I’ve yet to try, but I must say it has zero appeal to me, and I’m very familiar with Mastodon/ActivityPub communities. I also can’t stand Instagram (why I like Olas).
As others are saying, talking about Bitcoin and Nostr all day is boring. To critique myself, even when I’m thinking about music here, it’s always with a v4v touch. “Setting up” over here is also really quite complicated.
On Bluesky I instantly found my favourite bands, and they’re posting cool stuff I want to see. I’m wanting to check it more. My X usage continues to evaporate.
Bluesky attracted normies and now it has a small network effect, because they don’t talk about Bluesky all day. No one there cares about what we care about over here, and that’s why it’s successful in attracting media & entertainment. It’s good to see things improving here, slowly.
It’s definitely possible Bluesky dies, but the social media world has changed for good imo. We’re in the unbundling era. Communities will become smaller.
Nostr needs to become cool. It’s too awesome, and it’s what I hope social media and the internet will be more “like”. Having all your friends and content come with you, wherever you go, is very cool.
Look at me, part of the challenge, writing about Nostr on Nostr.

Olas definitely the most exciting Nostr client in terms of potential I’ve seen in some time. h/t @npub1l2v…ajft 👏

Don’t worry, you don’t need to download Nostr — it is not something that you download.
Nostr is a new social network, like Facebook on the web, except where you can send bitcoin to each other. Also you can switch apps and your friends and posts come with you. It’s built in to ZBD now!
