We could put stuff wherever there was space and we could get to and the system would just remember where stuff is.
A relay doesn't need to hold all events. It just needs to keep track of where events are.

I am pretty sure this is how most file systems work, and I think RAM, too.
I think the closest thing we have to this in Nostr is the #Gossip client, with its automatic relay shuffling.
Just looked up your definition. I was thinking of a way to offer this service, but I can't decentralize it. Was thinking a series of "proxy" servers that use delegation similar to DNS to store events across participating servers

Do you think we could have some sort of forwarding, proxy, or indexing system?
Servers that just tell you where to find stuff on relays?
