How does it work?
Blossom servers aren’t truly decentralized — they still rely on centralized infrastructure.
That’s exactly why I built FileDrop.
FileDrop lets you upload media while staying fully anonymous, which is especially useful on Nostr, where privacy and censorship resistance matter.
No media decompression.
No file size limits.
Run it yourself.
Currently works with 0xChat — more apps coming soon.

IPFS
How does IPFS do NAT holepunching?
Thought so, it's the same as WebRTC or wireguard, or mesh networks like yggdrasil, you need one publicly connected peer atleast.
I think blossom servers should implement a BYO storage BUD that inplements holepunching through yggdrasil. That seems like the sanest of all approaches.
I'll do it soon-ish I need it for formstr anyways.
The description says it uses a local node, but I don't think that's implemented.
