The most important lesson Nostr taught me is that you can achieve a lot starting with zero original ideas, and very little capital — if you have someone excellent at “community building” on board. Nostr has now several such people.
I’m not a community builder.
My thing is identifying hard problems and working on them. Figuring out what’s wrong with other people’s supposed solutions and telling them — and often getting paid for that.
I make good money that way, and will probably end up more wealthy than most people who create successful OSS projects and even crypto startups.
The downside is that I never see my ideas become products— and I feel a lot like Cassandra. It’s frustrating.
If I’m ever to create a successful OSS project or a product I’ll need to learn community building or finding someone who knows it and shares my goals.
