This seems like a sad, pessimistic take on nostr. Is it justified though? I don't follow the metrics, but while my experience here is consistent, I suppose there's people paying attention who are seeing numbers and engagement drop. That's a shame.

I'm still building and I hope the numbers grow, but despite the social layer being nostrs core, I suspect it'll be non social layer stuff which really gets the attention eventually, regardless.

Nostr is so dead, it's hardly worth the effort in development. Sorry. We used Nostr in its heyday to launch the block party, and we still have a core audience here, so we stay.

But the network effect isn't here. As a small startup, it doesn't make sense to allocate resources in this way.

We have a functional, 24/7 hashrate marketplace. It does not need to be built on Nostr. Nothing needs to be built on Nostr. We've been on here for nearly two years, which is long enough to witness its decline.

We were Nostr's first Bitcoin mining block party.

We zapped 6M sats in a single day to promote the party.

We supported this ecosystem in a variety of ways over the years.

It pains us to see the decline in this space. It's not due to lack of effort. But lack of interest speaks volumes. Perhaps if it changes down the road will take another look.
