RE: Hive price is a bit concerning

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I like to think of HIVE as an alternative to NOSTR where you can actually exchange value (on NOSTR you have to KYC to attach a wallet). If VSC allows users to deposit and withdraw any cryptocurrency, maybe HIVE would get some eyes as the decentralized social media protocol.

Throwing thoughts out there.

people or at least a vast majority of them don't really care about the decentralization aspect.

It's a shame, but more importantly, it's an indication that the incentives of the protocol are misaligned.

I never had to KYC to get on Nostr.

You don't have to KYC to get NOSTR, but if you want to connect a wallet, you get this:

Not sure what screen that is, but there is lots of ways to get on Nostr and use Nostr and there are many ways to create a lightning wallet and KYC generally isn't needed.

This is Primal. It requires KYC to use the built in wallet.
Connecting a wallet to Primal requires using NOSTR WALLET CONNECT (NWC), which I tried to do, but was very difficult so I gave up.

Don't get me wrong, I also use Lightning all the time, mostly with Wallet of Satoshi. There are plenty of businesses that accept Lightning payments where I live.

This isn't required. I opened one last week and did not have to do this...

That said NOSRT is very overrated and its retention rate is even worse then ours here which is saying a lot.

This is Primal. As you can see, the Primal client requires KYC to use the built in wallet.

Connecting another Lightning wallet to Primal requires using NOSTR WALLET CONNECT (NWC), which I tried to do, but was very difficult so I gave up.

Which NOSTR client did you use? I might give it a try.
