Nostr Web Client

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

Have there been quality scaling conversations on how nostr could grow to billions of users? I assume relays are the bottleneck, but I'm not really sure.

Having something like a-relay-per-client, like Damus does, would definitely help but there needs to be more propagation between client relays

Forgot to say that the real issue will be media (images and videos). For that we would need CDNs or a Blossom-server-per-client 😅 and lots of mirroring
