紫水晶NoStr客戶創建者Vitor Pollona討論了NOSTR的未來

我最近與NOSTR客戶紫水晶的創建者Vitor Pomplona坐下來討論2025年的NoStr的方式很像2012年的比特幣

I recently sat down with Vitor Pomplona, creator of Nostr client Amethyst, to discuss how Nostr in 2025 is a lot like what Bitcoin (BTC) was like in 2012 — a bit rough around the edges, but exciting to use.

我最近與NOSTR客戶宇宙Amethyst的創建者Vitor Pomplona坐下來，討論了NoStr在2025年的方式，就像比特幣（BTC）在2012年的樣子一樣 - 在邊緣周圍有些粗糙，但使用令人興奮。

Nostr, a decentralized protocol for social media and other forms of communication, is only four years old, and developers are still figuring out how to create the best possible user experience within the clients they’ve created. These clients include apps like Primal (which is comparable to X) to Olas (which is like Instagram) to Yakihonne (which is similar to Substack).

NOSTR是一種針對社交媒體和其他形式的交流的分散協議，只有四年曆史，開發人員仍在弄清楚如何在他們創建的客戶中創造最佳的用戶體驗。這些客戶包括Primal（與X相當）與Olas（類似Instagram）的應用程序與Yakihonne（類似於替代）。

What’s unique about Nostr clients, though, is that users can “zap” (send small amounts of) bitcoin to one another to show appreciation for the content their fellow users have created.

但是，NOSTR客戶端的獨特之處在於，用戶可以將比特幣“ ZAP”（發送少量）比特幣相互表示讚賞，以表達對其同伴創建的內容的讚賞。

And Pomplona is optimistic that more and more Nostr clients are starting to gain traction, just as Bitcoin began to do so 13 years ago.

Polplona對越來越多的NOSTR客戶開始獲得吸引力感到樂觀，就像比特幣13年前開始這樣做一樣。

“We are starting to see communities being formed and more money being transferred,” Pamplona told Bitcoin Magazine in the interview.

Pamplona在採訪中告訴Bitcoin Magazine：“我們開始看到社區形成，並轉移了更多的錢。”

A Bitcoin-Fueled Creator Economy

比特幣燃料的創造者經濟

Pomplona acknowledged that part of the purpose of social media is to enable means for users to monetize what they create in ways that they can’t do in their physical environment.

Pomplona承認，社交媒體的部分目的是使用戶以自己在物理環境中無法做的方式創造的方式獲利。

“[Some social media] users want to earn a living,” said Pomplona. “They have hope that they can achieve more with social media than they can alone or in their cities.”

“ [一些社交媒體]用戶希望謀生，” Pollsona說。 “他們希望他們能夠在社交媒體上取得比單獨或城市中能夠取得更多的成就。”

Pamplona believes that Nostr clients can help transform that hope into a reality, and it’s his mission to help users do this.

Pamplona認為，NOSTR客戶可以幫助將希望轉變為現實，這是他幫助用戶做到這一點的使命。

“That is our end goal: If we can get creators to the point where they can earn a living, we will win as a platform.”

“這是我們的最終目標：如果我們能使創作者能夠謀生，我們將以平台獲勝。”

This potential for users to earn a living with Nostr becomes greater everyday, especially as the Nostr user base expands and it continues to grow as the largest bitcoin circular economy in the world.

用戶每天謀生的潛力變得更大，尤其是隨著NOSTR用戶群的擴展，它繼續成為世界上最大的比特幣循環經濟。

Amethyst

紫晶

In creating Amethyst, Pamplona had a vision for a Nostr client that served as an all-in-one app, which was inspired by a plan similar to the one that Elon Musk had for X (formerly Twitter).

在創建紫水晶時，潘普洛納（Pamplona）對NOSTR客戶端充當一個多合一應用程序的願景，該應用程序的靈感來自於與埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）對X（以前是Twitter）相似的計劃。

“Amethyst came in at the same time that Elon was talking about buying Twitter,” explained Pomplona. “He was like let’s make a mega app out of Twitter, and I went for the same thing.”

“紫水晶也是在埃隆談論購買Twitter的同時，” Polplona解釋說。 “他就像讓我們從Twitter中製作一個大型應用程序，我去了同樣的事情。”

While Pomplona understands that Amethyst didn’t quite achieve this, he’s excited that it’s come to play a different role. It serves as a lab for people who are developing new Nostr clients.

儘管Pomplona了解到紫水晶並沒有完全實現這一目標，但他很高興能發揮不同的作用。它是為開發新NOSTR客戶的人提供的實驗室。

“Amethyst is helping everybody kickstart their own applications,” he said. “Olas came from Amethyst.”

他說：“紫水晶正在幫助所有人開始自己的應用程序。” “奧拉斯來自紫水晶。”

Nostr As A Bitcoin Onboarding Tool

NOSTR作為比特幣入職工具

Pomplona sees Nostr as a great way to onboard people to Bitcoin, though he doesn’t think this should be the primary goal of Nostr clients.

Pomplona認為NOSTR是登上比特幣的好方法，儘管他認為這應該不是NOSTR客戶的主要目標。

“The main goal for [Nostr] apps is to get people to do their thing — to get people to be creative, or to talk to their friends or to have a chat with their family,” explained Pomplona.

“ [NOSTR]應用程序的主要目標是讓人們做自己的事情 - 使人們發揮創造力，與朋友交談或與家人聊天，” Pollona解釋說。

“No app should ever talk about either Nostr or Bitcoin. They should just be what they are.”

“任何應用都不應該談論NOSTR或比特幣。它們應該只是它們的本質。”

Pamplona believes that, after some time, the app’s users will inevitably start to learn about Nostr’s self-sovereignty Nostr provides when it comes to users being able to control their own data and about Bitcoin.

Pamplona認為，一段時間後，該應用程序的用戶不可避免地會開始了解NOSTR的自我主張NOSTR在用戶能夠控制自己的數據和關於比特幣時提供的。

“[They’ll realize that] it just so happens that the platform helps them to manage their own data, and use best payment protocol we have today.”

“ [他們會意識到]平台可以幫助他們管理自己的數據，並使用我們今天擁有的最佳付款協議。”

And he highlighted that most new users are coming to Nostr because of the freedom and censorship resistance it offers.

他強調說，由於它提供的自由和審查阻力，大多數新用戶都將進入NOSTR。

“In the past two years, most of the new Nostr users came in because of freedom, because of some censorship in their country. And they learned about Bitcoin after that.”

“在過去的兩年中，由於自由的自由，大多數新的NOSTR用戶都出現了，因為他們的國家進行了一些審查。此後，他們了解了比特幣。”
