## [Edit] I tried to get the slides and an audio file, from Constant's talk at NostRiga, about 8 months ago
# 1.
### Nostr's adoption thesis
### The less you define, the more you imply
### by Wouter Constant
## 2.
### Dutch Bitcoiner
### AntiHashedPodcast
### Writing Book about nostr
00:40
## 3.
### What this presentation about
### A protocols design includes initself a thesis
### on protocol adoption, due to underlying assumptions
1:17
## 4.
### Examples
### Governments/Academic: Pubhubs (Matrix)
### Bussiness: Bluesky
### Foss: Nostr
1:58
## 5.
### What constitutes minimal viability?
### Pubhubs (Matrix): make is "safe" for user
### Bluesky: liability and monetization
### Foss: Simpel for developer
4:03
## 6.
### The Point of Nostr
### Capture network effects through interoperability
4:43
## 7.
## Three assumptions
### The direction is workable
### Method is workable
### Motivation and means are sufficient
5:27
## 8.
## Assumption 1
### The asymmetric cryptography paradigm is a good idea
6:16
## 9.
### Nostr is a exponent of the key-pair paradigm.
### And Basicly just that.
6.52
## 10.
### Keys suck
### Protect a secret that you are supposed use all the time.
7:37
## 11.
## Assumption two
### The unaddressed things will be figured out within a 'meta-design consensus'
8:11
## 12.
### Nostr's base protocol is not minimally viable for anything, except own development.
8:25
## 13.
### Complexity leads to capture;
### i.e. free and open in the name,
### controlled in pratice
9:54
## 14.
## Meta-design consensus
### Buildings things 'note centric' mantains interoperability.
11:51
## 15.
## Assumption three
### the nightmare is scary;
### the cream is appealing.
12:41
## 16.
### Get it minimally viable,
### for whatever target,
### such that it is not a waste of time.
13:23
## 17.
## Summarize
### We are in a nightmare.
### Assume key/signature are the way out.
### Assume we can Maintain an open stardand while manifesting the dream.
### Assume we are motivated enought to bootstrap this to adulthood.
14:01
## 18.
### We want this,
### we can do this,
### because we have to.
14:12
## Thank you for contribuiting
