I don’t know if “being tested” by authorities is one of the main objectives in this stage. And anyway I don’t see why it would be less effective in that aspect.
Blossom is much simple architecture. Basically the simplest approach apart of regular file hosting. This is major advantage. You basically get redundancy, censorship resistance and verifiability with almost no cost of complication. Maybe BitTorrent and seedboxers is also easy to integrate. But I don’t know. It seems more complex.
Seems to me like it just won't work in a context of real censorship resistance
Because
There's no reason it would work
It's basically not even p2p
There’s no reason nostr would work. It’s basically not even p2p
Yeah it's pretty broken, p2p version is one of the next vital improvements
Because
People like to have their posts show up for other users
Yes. That’s a great feature that nostr has
P2P nostr will have it more fully
Why?
Harder to stop users from getting posts delivered from/to each other's devices, harder to stop users from noticing when network isn't working good
Maybe. Nostr may adopt some p2p elements one day. P2P is way harder. That’s way nostr is not based on that (although it may get added one day). I think the same thing goes to blossom / BitTorrent question. Simplicity is important
Using what works is simple
BitTorrent works
Nostr almost does and nothing else is closer
Blossom also works. And Probably simple to integrate to nostr
Again, seems like it won't work when it's tried in a high risk context
