I understand the situation.

1. Realistically it's a good solution.

2. If the problem is bandwidth, ideally, Negentropy or any syncing protocol is a more elegant solution. Weaken the client, the edge, weaken the decentralization.

I would imagine negentropy on a client would create too much latency for on-demand content. But it's definitely important for powering proxies/dvms

I think it depends on perspective/use-case. I love the decentralized network of relays. I just want to connect to it from a single point, in the cloud, on a server I control. this has a few benefits for me:

- not doxing my ip, no vpn

- less bandwidth

- very fast

- better for offline/offgrid clients

- can even be interacted with over an ssh tunnel

Good point. I did not consider these use cases.
