Lack of users. Since the Forbes articles in May, NOSTR is not receiving any PR, so nobody knows about NOSTR. When Threads launched there were hundreds of articles which all mentioned BlueSky, Mastadon and even other more minor networks, but NONE of the articles mentioned NOSTR. Rather than spending money to build more and more and more, NOSTR needs to spend money getting the word out! Otherwise it will be the best kept secret and all the enthusiastic developers will realize that they have built really cool things for a audience of 10,000. Some people may be happy just creating something cool for a very small group but the reality is that everyone also has to eventually make money to support their families. We already see early adopters like Cameri leaving NOSTR because of economic hardship. If a hardcore person like Cameri can't afford to pay $300 a month for his relay, how many others are going to stick it out? #grownostr
