interesting, but unless I’m missing a crucial detail this doesn’t sound new.

is this an http server with a well known api for uploading content? that uses the content hash for later retrieval and deduplication?

I love the idea but have seen this exact solution proposed many times. I even implemented a proposed spec for this almost a year ago. is there something new or is this just novel because it came out of sec-01?

I was not aware of this spec but it looks similar to what I've written for blossom in that it uses the sha256 for the id of the file.

however I think it has some issues

1. Its only focused on images and videos. if we want to solve the storage problem it needs to be generic

2. It relies on the "/.well-known/nostr.json" document for servers to describe themselves. this makes servers not interchangeable when it comes to retrieving files

3. It only focuses on uploading and retrieving the files. I think its also necessary for users to be able to list and delete the files they have on servers

is your spec/protocol documented somewhere I can read it?

I think the issues you highlighted from the old spec are trivial… but that’s neither here nor there.
