Last Notes npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Disagree. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It worries me that the answer to this is always “don’t worry.” npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion *censor npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It doesn’t even have to. Relays can self sensor if there’s a threat. Just look at Phoenix pulling out of the US. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as that of LSPs. Think adversarially and think far into the future. Imagine Nostr running at Telegram scale with 1B users, not the tight knit community is now. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I started out with 9 relays when I created my profile here. 4 are dead now and Nostr is a lot bigger. I don’t think it’s fair to say that there will be more relays as it grows and not have a clear incentive you can point to for why people will suddenly run more. I think all the recent events with Telegram and Samourai should be a clear indicator of where things are going. Having many relays doesn’t help if they all have nice URLs and the operators can be easily identified. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as that of LSPs. Damus itself should definitely not be running a relay. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion I wasn’t comparing it 1:1 in terms of encryption. I was just highlighting each has its own critical flaw. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion There are no incentives to run a relay other than wanting to be helpful. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion You’d store it yourself if every client is also a relay. You could mirror content for others too. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Anyone can does not mean anyone does. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Need to make every client a relay first. Relays are a risk to the protocol. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Relays make Nostr centralized. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It can only be P2P. Any weak points will be attacked. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Looks ok to me in Damus. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion It did not. So they have data and control the state wants, but did not share. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion No need to apologize. It sparked an interesting discussion. I just see it happening sooner due to an array of macroeconomic factors. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Use the core peer-to-peer components from Keet / Holepunch. npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Do it! npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a Excellion Yes. This.
