If we got rid of relays, what would replace them? And what are the implications for the decentralized foundation of the protocol?
nothing can do what relays do. they're irreplaceable
That's kinda what I was thinking, but I'm not an nostr expert. I think it would be incredibly difficult to to exact the relay infrastructure from the Nostr protocol. The relays are the heart of the protocol. And I don't understand what sort of system would be able replace them. It would fundamentally change the nature of the entire system.
