**Today was an extremely active day on Nostr**
And the best part? It was all because of two tiny events.
* Damus added NIP-05 ID display in their app
* Damus cleared slots for about 700 new TestFlight users
These events revealed several major takeaways:
The Nostr FOMO is real. No matter what your friends say, no matter what naysayers on Twitter post, today was evident that people *care about Nostr*. They are experiencing FOMO and they are experiencing it bad.
Nostr was so active today that one popular Relay was pushing over 100mbit/sec of traffic. That's one relay and it's just text - no videos or images.
This type of traffic isn't sustainable for the average Relay operator. Soon, Nostr will have to switch to Value 4 Value models to help Relay operators pay their bills. They can only survive on donations and the goodness of their own hearts for so long.
If this is what Nostr was like today, can you imagine what it's going to be like when Damus gets approved on the Apple App Store?
What about when an Android client finally hits the Google Play Store?
Keep building.
