Instead of having a hard reset of the entire thread at X time, I would keep a single live thread always on, and make the old messages disappear one by one when they're older than 24 hours.

That way you would have a more continuous flow of messages from people all around the world.

You might want to keep a log of these old messages though for future searches, those can be created after 24 hours have passed, like a snapshot of what was there at the live one.

I don't mind taking a loss on the territory for even the first year. I just wanted to get a conversation going on how we can improve the economics and probably more importantly what are we going to do about marketing. 10x the users on SN is probably the solution. With more eyeballs come more desire to boost or advertise whatever it may be. Will there eventually be a cohesive marketing strategy that SN uses, and our territories piggyback off that or should we just do our own thing.

One thing I think we definitely need is a territory referral program and I don't mind if this is a shared cost between SN (or more likely the rewards pool) and the territory but I would like to be able to offer a new user 5 free posts and 100 sats or something along those lines to get them started. I am confident in the SN experience and the quality of content creation on SN that if we get people in the door they will keep coming back but as I mentioned in the post it is somewhat shocking to me that I am talking to bitcoiners on Nostr or twitter and they either don't know what SN is or vaguely heard about it but never used it.

This month I will be moving my territory social media posting to twitter and focusing on engaging with sports fans to try and get some newbies but also with the plebs on bitcoin twitter. Even if they don't want to talk sports but come to SN to talk bitcoin or econ or complain about shitcoins it's a win for all of us.

I spent the last few years shifting my life from New England to Taiwan.

Might sound odd move since Taiwan shows up as the "most dangerous place on Earth" on the front page of the Economist, and NE is considered developed. But Taiwanese society is the most functional one I know. 99.9% of all of the chips for mining ASICS are made here. It's fact that the hardest working, most punctual people in the world live in Asia.

I think the biggest barrier is cultural integration. "Digital Nomads" tend to create their own third cultures in the communities the congregate in, like Portugal, or Bali. Heck even Bitcoin Beach is a culture unto itself. Today's "March Regions" tend not to be on the adjacent borders of superpowers. They're not like the southern alps during the renaissance where, ok maybe the French are in charge, maybe the Italians are, our languages are both romance and we're all catholic. The March regions are disparate. They're deep inside foreign spheres of influence. Check out nomadlist.com.

Unless they're willing to do heavy cultural investment, most movers, even if they have the capacity for sovereignty, have to wait for that third culture to establish before they're comfortable making a move. Most people are followers.

It's a paradox in my view that the people that are most eligible for individual sovereignty still tend to stick to the cultures they're most familiar with despite the freedom to do otherwise. Europeans want to migrate to Canada 😆.

In my experience the most vocal sovereign individual types (looking at you free staters) tend to be the least tolerant to foreign cultural mores, nevermind adopting or integrating them into one's own life.

What's the point of this software? I'm ve downloaded it, run it, finished initial wizard and then kinda stuck - what to do next? What's the added value? For which tasks should I use it?
