Like we did with Lightning nodes? No, it will not work. This has been the daydream of technologists since when NAT was invented and they realized the internet was not as decentralized as they thought. Look at the amazing number of "self-hosted" collections of software and guides that exist and have existed for decades, and yet only 12 guys do it. I think it's good that we can do it and I hope more people start doing it, but running servers is too complicated, even for me, and the goal of Nostr was to make a thing that would work without requiring people to run servers.
