It’s time relays move to have a pubkey to become addressable beyond dns
💫
Discussion
does this increase resilience/censorship-resistance? or is it just "technically better"/more efficient/etc.?
Yes it does, It allows us to address the relay through whatever means they themselves have shared, which can be TOE, I2P or the open internet. Their address can change but you can still follow the changes and use their new endpoints.

thank you for the details here. this is both exciting and very interesting.

DNS is poison for censorship-resistant decentralised protocols. Every time a relay admin chooses to drop messages from non-NIP-05 verified users, an Amazon Pink Dolphin dies. It makes me unbelievably sad.
Agree.
NIP-05 doesn't verify a npub.
NIP-05 just adds a DNS alias to a npub.
Very, very different.
The identity is in the npub, not in the DNS name.

I don't know what that means. Lol
You run some relays; have you done this for yours?

It's time relays become tested and stable pieces of software first. Stop feature creep please.
