Couldn't agree more. Most are not so curious and are turned off by technical jargon. People want convenience and a straight forward experience.
It would be awesome if we could not make the same mistake over and over again and develope nostr with normies in mind from the start. It already goes down a path no one wants to follow if not fanatic fan of decentralization or bitcoin.

Means: stop using words like relay, node, pubkey, privkey or verify with *insert cryptic coder stuff here* and find ways a normal internet user can at least use (they wont understand it anyways. No one understands email, money or internet and no one cares how they work).

I can not even manage to explain to most people why decentralization is important. They understand the basic problem but see no need for a solution in their lifes at all. Most have good experiences with centralized services. Because the UX is nice and simple.

Imo we need more simple UX in and around bitcoin and nostr. This right now is a UX desaster and the perfect path into ‚linux is the OS of the future… for already 40 years‘.
