I saw this a few hours ago, and caught some comments you made here on SN on a nostr thread last week. I am not in a position to comment but what I wanted to clarify was your position on whether the flaws you point out can be addressed in future development cycles, or if you feel nostr is fundamentally flawed?

Maybe it can be fixed, but first the problem needs to be acknowledged by enough and I don’t care enough to make that happen

Maybe outbox model helps, but it relies on people running their own relays afaik which I don’t see happening. Normal users won’t care about decentralization, they care about the experience. And having to run your own relay will suck.

Currently, there are only early adopters / hardcore believers on nostr.

I see. It's been over two years and I think we got closer to the truth with Primal's caching service

I need to do more research on it though to confirm what I think it does

It sounds a bit bearish on Nostr, but I think your right rn. Primal is the overall winner with Nostr, but just a few years ago it was Damus, things could change is all I am saying. If I was a Nostr builder I would be looking outside of Nostr for ideas, its easy to fall into traps of building for each other.

Sure, and by your estimate it sounds like Primal will just benefit from everything that gets created in the Nostr ecosystem. In reality, that's not usually how ecosystems work. Usually first movers, second and then third. And more often than not, it’s the third wave who build on top of an already thriving ecosystem and capture the most value.
