I don't consider that to be a bug, since everyone can have their own relay.

P2P is great for communicating P2P. Not so great for openly publishing the new Internet with millions or eventually billions of people on all sorts of applications.

I think that there are privacy solutions arising, including P2P, client authorization, group encryption, etc., but I am convinced that adding these things onto the protocol is more valuable than skipping the relays and going straight to them as the basis of the protocol.

The relays had to come first. Everything else is a plug-in technology.

Encryption is the way. If we can prevent relays from knowing what's in a message, they can't censor it. Unfortunately they also can't index it, and only people with keys can read it. There are problems to be solved, but the benefits of relays are worth it.

Encryption is going to be important, but it's just one tool in the box. There are lots of different ways to keep something private, while transporting it from machine to machine.

Is there, though?
