Artur Brugeman is the founder of Nostr Band, a collection of Nostr search services for exploring the Nostr ecosystem. In our discussion, we explored the state of Nostr adoption so far, the catalysts that could usher in the next wave of users, the role of Lightning payments on Nostr, and why Nostr Band is working on building a Nostr browser called Spring. → Nostr Band: https://nostr.band/ → Spring: https://spring.site/ Sponsors → Voltage: https://stacksats.how/voltage → Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats. The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to kerooke@fountain.fm. → Fountain: https://www.fountain.fm/ → More Episodes: https://www.stacksats.how/podcast → Lightning Address: ⚡kerooke@fountain.fm → Nostr NIP-05: kr@stacker.news Links → Stack Sats: https://www.stacksats.how/ → Twitter: https://twitter.com/kerooke → Books: https://www.kevinrooke.com/book-recom... → Bitcoin News: https://stacker.news/r/kr Timestamps 00:00 - Intro
