same

we changed from gossip to outbox model because gossip is a term that means too many things (and people think gossip as in lightning network's gossip)

gossip, in computer science distributed systems terminology means "promiscuous propagation of state changes"

but i don't expect you know what that means

Agreed, gossip is a confusing name. I prefer outbox model as well. Gossip basically means network traffic, classically speaking lmao. So it’s accidentally misleading, especially since it involves propagating the NIP-65 note. I remember nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c making jokes about the name on nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p podcast after he found out haha β€” he agrees.

yeah, I think we touched on this in our panel about Outbox model and relay traversal in Nostrasia; the name is just an unfortunate accident πŸ˜
