Yes to me that NIP is more a signal that the client uses the gossip model than anything else. Doesn’t add anything otherwise.

I’d love to understand how you’d prefer users set and publish their preferred relays. The kind 3 contact list seems a little brittle to me

I vehemently reject the idea that nostr clients have to keep implementing the “next great idea” so that it keeps working. Bcash mentality.

I agree, I don’t want that culture either. Just looking at the nip for the kind 3 event it doesn’t look like it was intended to be where people published their preferred relays.

I’d be happy to standardise on kind 3 if we updated the NIP for that expressed purpose. But in talking to some folks they thought NIP 65 would be the way to solve the preferred relay problem going forward.

I just wanna go with what people prefer I am agnostic. Just pulling for one standard and I haven’t heard consensus yet.
