what's outbox model
Discussion
same
we changed from gossip to outbox model because gossip is a term that means too many things (and people think gossip as in lightning network's gossip)
gossip, in computer science distributed systems terminology means "promiscuous propagation of state changes"
but i don't expect you know what that means
Agreed, gossip is a confusing name. I prefer outbox model as well. Gossip basically means network traffic, classically speaking lmao. So it’s accidentally misleading, especially since it involves propagating the NIP-65 note. I remember nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c making jokes about the name on nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p podcast after he found out haha — he agrees.
yeah, I think we touched on this in our panel about Outbox model and relay traversal in Nostrasia; the name is just an unfortunate accident 😅
It's dillinger's way of describing the gossip model. The idea is that you look in an npub's prefered publishing "outbox" for their posts (type 1) and you could "dead drop" to a relay their profile indicates where they prefer to rendevous to pick up their incoming DMs (i.e. "inbox")
it's where you advertise where you push your events, and where you read them from NIP-65
most clients don't support it yet, nostrudel is one notable example that does, and it makes it easier to develop relays!
it's got nothing to do with what these other retards say, gossip means "tell it to everyone" ffs what is wrong with you people???
Thats not what gossip means when people are saying it, they use outbox/gossip interchangeably
Please don't get too triggered lol
