紫水晶NoStr客户创建者Vitor Pollona讨论了NOSTR的未来

我最近与NOSTR客户紫水晶的创建者Vitor Pomplona坐下来讨论2025年的NoStr的方式很像2012年的比特币

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.

我最近与NOSTR客户宇宙Amethyst的创建者Vitor Pomplona坐下来，讨论了NoStr在2025年的方式，就像比特币（BTC）在2012年的样子一样 - 在边缘周围有些粗糙，但使用令人兴奋。

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是一种针对社交媒体和其他形式的交流的分散协议，只有四年历史，开发人员仍在弄清楚如何在他们创建的客户中创造最佳的用户体验。这些客户包括Primal（与X相当）与Olas（类似Instagram）的应用程序与Yakihonne（类似于替代）。

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客户端的独特之处在于，用户可以将比特币“ ZAP”（发送少量）比特币相互表示赞赏，以表达对其同伴创建的内容的赞赏。

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对越来越多的NOSTR客户开始获得吸引力感到乐观，就像比特币13年前开始这样做一样。

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

Pamplona在采访中告诉Bitcoin Magazine：“我们开始看到社区形成，并转移了更多的钱。”

A Bitcoin-Fueled Creator Economy

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承认，社交媒体的部分目的是使用户以自己在物理环境中无法做的方式创造的方式获利。

“[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.”

“ [一些社交媒体]用户希望谋生，” Pollsona说。 “他们希望他们能够在社交媒体上取得比单独或城市中能够取得更多的成就。”

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

Pamplona认为，NOSTR客户可以帮助将希望转变为现实，这是他帮助用户做到这一点的使命。

“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.”

“这是我们的最终目标：如果我们能使创作者能够谋生，我们将以平台获胜。”

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.

用户每天谋生的潜力变得更大，尤其是随着NOSTR用户群的扩展，它继续成为世界上最大的比特币循环经济。

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).

在创建紫水晶时，潘普洛纳（Pamplona）对NOSTR客户端充当一个多合一应用程序的愿景，该应用程序的灵感来自于与埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）对X（以前是Twitter）相似的计划。

“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.”

“紫水晶也是在埃隆谈论购买Twitter的同时，” Polplona解释说。 “他就像让我们从Twitter中制作一个大型应用程序，我去了同样的事情。”

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.

尽管Pomplona了解到紫水晶并没有完全实现这一目标，但他很高兴能发挥不同的作用。它是为开发新NOSTR客户的人提供的实验室。

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

他说：“紫水晶正在帮助所有人开始自己的应用程序。” “奥拉斯来自紫水晶。”

Nostr As A Bitcoin Onboarding Tool

NOSTR作为比特币入职工具

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认为NOSTR是登上比特币的好方法，尽管他认为这应该不是NOSTR客户的主要目标。

“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]应用程序的主要目标是让人们做自己的事情 - 使人们发挥创造力，与朋友交谈或与家人聊天，” Pollona解释说。

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

“任何应用都不应该谈论NOSTR或比特币。它们应该只是它们的本质。”

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认为，一段时间后，该应用程序的用户不可避免地会开始了解NOSTR的自我主张NOSTR在用户能够控制自己的数据和关于比特币时提供的。

“[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.”

“ [他们会意识到]平台可以帮助他们管理自己的数据，并使用我们今天拥有的最佳付款协议。”

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

他强调说，由于它提供的自由和审查阻力，大多数新用户都将进入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.”

“在过去的两年中，由于自由的自由，大多数新的NOSTR用户都出现了，因为他们的国家进行了一些审查。此后，他们了解了比特币。”
