Nostr Web Client

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 I’m trying to understand the whole nostr protocol in depth (reading all the NIPs and reading the code for common open source clients and relays)

One thing I’m wondering is, at some point in the adoption curve of Nostr wont it be difficult to be subscribed to enough relays to know all the conversations that may mention you?

Especially if paid relays become the default (which makes sense), wont we have to subscribe to a large cross section to make sure we get alerted to all @ mentions?

PS if there are people to follow or podcasts / blogs that talk about Nostr at a technical level I’d love to do my own research, but I’m not sure where to go.

Also upon further research, It looks as if, moving forward, NIPS-05 will provide a way for the relays at which users reside can be identified:

So perhaps some service around relay operators combining their data can be created or something to create a large directory of some sorts?

Back before search engines people published physical magazines that had printed links to new or noteworthy websites.

These zines were usually themed (skateboarding, electronics, golf, etc)

I wonder if we need to do something similar now. Newsletters like “this week in Nostr” or “what’s new on golf Nostr” (if such a concentration exists for that community today)
