Nostr Web Client

No it isn't. Centralized architectures are centralized not because a Bond villain in his lair wants a stranglehold on your communication but because they are the most efficient. Brittle maybe, but efficient. There's only one possible path that any message can take from spoke to spoke and it's via the hub.

Any other architecture computational power and bandwidth has to be spent on discovering a path first and it grows exponentially with the number of hops required.

this like saying the internet would be more scalable if done through a single company. retarded take

It would be, most certainly. It would also be more brittle but that's not the aspect OP was addressing.

obviously we are using a different definition of scalable. have the entire internet go down at once is not a desirable property at scale

frphank 3mo ago

It's not desirable, no. Nostr has no chance of scaling up and not become brittle.

scale.

For nostr, there are many possibilities like using local relays to offload the traffic and then forward the necessary data to remote relays. It uses web socket reduces latency and optimal for real time communication.
