I feel like you might be able to help me understand this... where do your notes "live". For example, if I disconnect from ALL relays... do the notes all die?
In other words, how does my private key "store" the notes and info? And where?
Thanks in advance.
I’ll try. 😅
Your notes live on any relay to which you’re connected at the time you post it. We can assume that for some period, each of those relays will retain your notes “on disk” until such time as the relay expires those notes based on a defined retention policy (i.e. X days or Y terabytes of storage consumed), or, of course, the relay shuts down.
But as far as I know, no standard approach yet exists, so we must assume at this early stage that our notes are ephemeral.
Thanks Shawn. This is so interesting! I was wondering if the relays stored the info for an indeterminate time period in case you choose to re-connect with them.
I still have so many more questions.
Hahaha.
So much fun to learn this computing theory.
