I'm all for having relays operate via http as well. Curious about the decentralized identity peice. Does solid use eliptic curve key pairs for identities? Do they have a spec for key rotation?

Relays operating via http, if done right, would be a tried and tested way to scale nostr. It is a controversial topic though. Some prefer the 'nostr only' approach.

I don't think it isn't "nostr only" to have relays operate via http as well. Something like GET `https://relay.damus.com/?kinds=0&author=` should work the same way as if the request was made from a ws

Something like this would indeed be very good. The harder thing would be making a clean API on which everyone could agree.

Yeah, it would definetly be hard to get mainstream adoption. But I think it's worth a try

Also, being abot to send an event to a relay via a POST req seems like a no-brainer.
