I think im unclear when I say native auto splits. My bad on that. I shouldn't have used native.
What i mean is: the ability to input my own splits, have the ability to update them permissionlessly at any time, and for them to be broadcast and globally updated automatically everywhere with reasonable assurance that every client playing my audio has the updated splits.
You can do this with Nostr. Replaceable events make it possible.
What's the implementation look like?
Playing contrarian, id be concerned if someone is not connected to one of my relays, they might not get the update (like how follower count is not accurate).
Are replaceable events backwards compatible? Both the relay and client would have to support them to see anything right?
Nostr by its nature is probabilistic. You don’t really know if the latest version of a replaceable event is truly the latest but there may be ways to reduce the likelihood of on old / stale event. I’d be talking out of my ass if I pretended to know how to do this well but I do believe there are ways. The most important is multi-relay publishing at the time of event signing so you query multiple relays at client level and reconcile them to select the latest event. You can probably also add relay hints to events themselves - but I’ve never done this.
