Negentropy is specifically a reconciliation mechanism, it is very efficient in the way it creates the reconciliation set, but then you have to transmit the events. I would say that this is much more efficient for that reconciliation task and saves bandwidth compared to not using negentropy.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with most radio protocols (yet). Does the tool you built translate nostr events to analogue signals and back?
My hope is that I can send nostr events to a local relay over TCP/IP from my phone without any extra hardware and your relay can receive that nostr event directly from my relay over radio. Thanks to negentropy, we might be able to cut out the ISP without needing to attach radio equipment directly to our phones.
You will need to charge other relays for events that you send them over radio, because spectrum is a scarce resource.. nostr:nprofile1qqsypwwgtll74lqu4huvxzjwtjyxvrlkujt35rw8y026ke6ttesmg5gpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7wzpxlr, does negentropy require a lot of bandwidth?
Discussion
I wanna learn how the algorithm works. Do you have a good link?
