nostr have done the best part, I don't think it's good way to modify nostr protocol to support search people easier without add relays by mannually. it seems we still need design new p2p protocol above on nostr protocol to easy find Alex Jones and sneak thought firewall, am I right? this is my idea. but I'm sure it's not the best solution.

to sum up. relay p2p is bad idea. but nostr client p2p might a good solution. for a example, Jim is following for Tim, and Tim is following Alex Jones, Tim knows Alex Jones' relay, now Alex Jones been banned and start on a new tiny relay. Tim knows Alex Jones' relay had changed. when Jim search Alex Jones, Jim's client use p2p communicate with his following guy's client, includes Tim, as Tim can give Alex Jones' relay address to Jim, Jim can get Alex Jones from search users. Lily isn't following Tim. so Lily can't get the search result which includes Alex Jones, unless she add Alex's relay or following 1 degree follower for Alex Jones, this solution will more fast searching and useful.

And now I realize that nip04 "Encrypted Direct Message" is not really safe, as the DM message is store on relays. unless we use client p2p, the DM message only store on both clients, it's will much safer and keep privacy.
