And there it is. I just posted a note on Nostr using a bridge I made (it auto-bridges from Nostr to the Hive blockchain). Then, over on Hive, someone asked the magic question.

This is how we grow nostr, by crossing off of Nostr Island onto other islands to people who have never heard of such a place.

(under construction, but semi-working)

(bi-directional bridge, post on one, it auto-cross posts to the other)

What is Hive? When I looked it up they just seem like an altcoin. Nostr is just a bunch of relays. What's the use case for posting "to the Hive blockchain"?

It is indeed an altcoin/blockchain. It's the old Steem, the one Justin Sun tried to take over. The use cases here as I see it:

. reach out to other places and try to get more nostr users . nostr notes get immutably posted onto the hive blockchain . persistent, chronological links . for nostr and bitcoin maximalists, you do earn HIVE or HBD rewards on Hive with each upvote there, they can easily be converted into sats

nostr notes get immutably posted onto the hive blockchain

This is what I couldn't figure out from their website. So how do you pay fees for posting to their chain?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @crrdlx OP 4h

There are no fees to post on Hive. Unlike ethereum with gas, or most chains, Hive is free to post, comment, etc, which is really nice.

Well how due they decide who gets block space then?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @crrdlx OP 4h

To get space and use the chain, Hive uses "Resource Credits" (RCs). RCs are like gas or mana on other chains. A newcomer is gifted a small bit to get started and people are happy to delegate plenty of RCs to anyone generally interested in starting.

Then, as you earn rewards by posting/interacting/etc, your own RCs begin to recharge on their own. It's like a solar charging battery, you use the charge when you do stuff, but then it recharges gradually (if that makes sense!).

What's Hive blockchain?

21 sats \ 4 replies \ @crrdlx OP 6h

Heh! Fair question. https://hive.io

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @rblb 5h

isn't this basically ethereum somehow (likely unsustainable) without fees?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @crrdlx OP 5h

It's not ethereum, and has a different model. Hive started in 2017 so it's been around a while.

This looks like it's gonna mess up my computer with some crazy crap. No way I'm clicking that! Ahaha

Understood, safety first.

How was my nostr explanation to another user in that thread?
