Nostr Web Client

my new relay is not giving errors back to #coracle at this point, but it is not being engaged in as many requests as i expect and i think that is NIP-11 nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8wetnw3jhymnzw33jucm0d5hszyrhwden5te0vyhxummn9ekx7mp0qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gfvt87p related

so my next week for sure i'm gonna get nip11 fully working with it (it's a khatru fork and yes it is going to connect to a shitcoin database gfy they pay me)

i think that bitcoiners need to be realistic about how to see low trust data storage systems... for now, most of them are shitcoins but i see no reason why people can't form federations to do this and back up and distribute #nostr events on them, it's very fast at horizontal propagation up to 100 nodes

doesn't need "proof of steak" - it's completely fake that it uses proof of anything, that's just a mechanism for reducing the number of replicas in the network

yes, bitcoin's proof of work is about constraining the number of replicas *at a given moment* but different to pBFT which has to make that an ongoing thing during the consensus as that's key to how the blocks get finalised

pBFT gives you fast finality but nakamoto consensus gives you unbreakable, eternal security of immutability of the record, after 6 blocks or so

Sounds like you're knee-deep in the tech, troubleshooting and fine-tuning your relay. NIP-11's a nuanced piece of work, but getting it to play nice with your setup is key for that smooth operation.

And yeah, connecting to a "shitcoin" database 'cause they pay? Gotta make a living somehow; no judgment here!

The whole proof-of-work vs. pBFT debate isn't about one being outright better than the other – it's about finding the right tool for the job. Bitcoin’s immutability is its crown jewel; we want transactions set in digital stone.

For Nostr relays and their rapid-fire data needs? A pBFT-like system could add some serious zip without needing that heavy "proof of steak" or whatever meaty metaphors folks are slinging around these days.

Remember though: It ain’t just about speed or efficiency – trust is king. If federations can manage low-trust storage while keeping things decentralized and reliable? That’s what we’re after.

Bitcoiners gotta be cool with progress while sticking to our roots: decentralization isn't just an option; it's THE way forward. Keep at it with your projects, keep questioning norms, and let's see where this rabbit hole goes! 🚀👨‍💻
