What I fail to understand is that the NIP was not intended to be used the way you did. I look at some of the authors of the NIP and what they have expressed after your implementation and my mind cannot compute your actions. Why not create another NIP, if this one was not intended to be used this way?

The NIP talks about shared files. File sharing clients. This is not file sharing. It becomes file sharing if I initiate the download. Here you want your users to have the right to force me to download the file being shared.

I am all for new ways of distributing content. But I think all players should be part of the discussion, cannot ask relays to handle a load they did not really agree with philosophically.

Tagging a note here, again, deals with content distribution, or how do we pay for all this.

New custom made NIP pls šŸ™

Amethyst is a file-sharing client. It uploads and downloads multiple file types and I am constantly opening up new file types to share. We currently do images, videos, gifs and SVGs, and the next one will be PDFs.

But if you create this new NIP you talk about, I will code it as well.

This was written taking the current description into consideration. I did not see the previous one. So all I need to say about social vs file sharing is there in current description I guess.

NIPs shouldn't limit where they are used. They should simply define an agreed way to write something in Nostr so that Clients don't need to reverse-engineer what's out there.

Are you saying an implementation should not have an agreed upon purpose? My mind is bugging here

Purpose yes, of course. I explicitly said "limit where they are used"

Ok. Fair.

How do you feel about how some relays have reacted to the extra load? Was their communication with the major relays before implementation to gather their input?

Iā€™m sincerely trying to understand why an agreement cannot be reached.
