Yeah notedeck was built like this from the ground up, and damus ios is in the process of switching to it.
p2p is still hard. I’m looking into local sync using negentropy ( nostr:nevent1qqst670lhr7lmttdl0nta8l2s6d37yk4vrhulnddtyftcak3vgyt07cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszxrhwden5te0wajkccm0d4jjumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv4duvv6 ) but relays aint going away
nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk has been looking into webrtc p2p stuff. Still early days
Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail. The risk is the same as that of LSPs. Damus itself should definitely not be running a relay.
not sure its tennible having every mobile client serving data for others..
Its great as an idea but not sure about in practice
Yeah the reason why nostr works is because its not a p2p protocol
Yeah I agree with that. We have incentive to run one to ensure reliability for our users, and our subscription pays for it.
Apparently the largest legal threat is now “hosted encrypted notes” (wtf?). I never thought it would be a big deal since we do not host any media.
