Idk about merkle trees or if fiatjaf is trolling, but some of us are very interested in the protocol being p2p and JavaScript-free. I'm interested in trying it 🤙
I think nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is trolling us. I’m not going to move to another social network because merkle trees…

I do all my dev in Python and am exploring #hypermedia to get away from JavaScript on the browser client. That said, the #nostr protocol is free from JavaScript, though it uses JSON, which is just a dict in Python-speak. I see little attraction to mainline DHT beyond what can be done with a relay. Also P2P implies that you need to have a host online all the time. I don’t think that is a good design choice.
