People | Users: Early Nostr Users

A research seed directory for large, early and relevant public Nostr accounts that should become deeper People articles over time.

The People route needs the user layer, not only founders and app builders. This seed directory turns the handover screenshots into a reviewable People | Users queue for public Nostr profiles, public activity, projects, links and article groundwork.

The quick readA research seed directory for large, early and relevant public Nostr accounts that should become deeper People articles over time.

The culture layer matters because products do not spread by protocol alone.

Events turn usernames into a scene people can remember.

What this section is

These are public Nostr account seeds captured from the handover screenshots and existing ecosystem context. Follower counts are treated as time-bound discovery signals, not permanent truth or a complete ranking.

The next research pass should verify npubs, NIP-05 identifiers, profile metadata, public projects, public websites, GitHub links, notable posts, interviews and source quality before writing full articles.

What the community should help with

People | Users should become a collaborative research queue. The community can nominate accounts, add npubs, add NIP-05 identifiers, link public projects, cite interviews, surface notable posts, flag impersonation risk and request deeper articles.

The rule is simple: public contribution context is welcome; private biography is not.

Nominate. Suggest a public account with npub, NIP-05 or profile URL.
Verify. Check whether the profile, public links and project claims match.
Enrich. Add public talks, repos, writing, podcasts, videos or project pages.
Protect. Flag impersonation, stale identifiers or private-data risk.

The best builder map feels closer to a dinner table than a corporate org chart.

Creators and fans are not an appendix. They are where the network gets heat.

Seed accounts from the handover

This is the current People | Users queue. The goal is roughly 100 public accounts, but the site should prefer verified useful entries over inflated follower counts. The crawler and Nostr search phase can expand this list.

Article rules

People articles must stay about public work, public Nostr activity and publicly linked projects. Do not infer private biography, do not expose personal data and do not treat follower count as character evidence.

Public sources. Use profile metadata, project pages, public posts, talks, repos, interviews and official websites.
Verification. Keep npub/NIP-05 checks separate from display names.
No doxxing. Use pseudonyms when the public account uses a pseudonym.
Crays fit. Explain why the account matters to the Nostr knowledge hub.

Nostr identity

Login with Nostr

Use a browser signer, Nostr Connect, read-only npub or local account flow. Private keys stay out of the Crays server path.

Not connected Signing actions will ask for a Nostr signer.

People nomination

Nominate a public Nostr user

Add a public account to the People | Users research queue with evidence. This is about public Nostr work and public projects, not private biography.
