No reason we cant extend nostr to be as good as signal.

but yes until then 🤗

That project is way above my pay grade, but I'd love to see it

Same 😅. I’ve been trying to study simplex to see if we can use some of the ideas on the nostr side, but alas, time.

Yes there is a reason and that is that the engineering prowess of the nostr dev community is, as far as I can see so far, not great.

There is an overall optimistic naiveté -- if not to say outright delusion -- as to how inherently difficult internet-scale distributed systems are.

The nostr dev community will hit a wall where suddenly things won't scale and then wonder how they got into this.

Your skill coding widgets into a app does not prepare you to architect distributed systems, that's on a totally different level.

Or this this guy here who took my totally absurd, facetious post about "trivial quantum computers" serious as if it had any merit. Oh dear.

If you know so much, why don't you contribute constructively instead of blame us for not knowing everything

Step 1: Managing expectations

This is a hilariously bad and short sighted generalization of an entire community. There are individuals here who are insanely good at what they do. Just look at doug hoyte and strfry for example. The community will get stronger when more people with specific expertise come on board.

"merkle-tree based set reconciliation" sounds promising ❤️❤️
