One of my favorite clips from the conversation I recently had with #[0]​ where he was telling me about his journey to discovering Nostr.

I’m trying out the YouTube Shorts format… lmk what you think:

Discussion

This interview was so good 🤌 that i watched it twice to take notes 🤓

appreciated the full discussion about relays, the pull over push model, propagation/hops of notes, how relay operators can support the decentralization of the nostr network

The polycentric protocol is also worth a look 🧐

Other quotes from @hodlbod

"Relays are naturally the nexus of trust because trust is distributed across relays."

"There are so many ways that decentralization can fail, whether it is latency or a lack of coordination, discoverability, decentralization is super hard, i think in the beginning, we need to be pretty principled about investing basically the research in order to discover the solutions for that."

thanks for the notes, Madelaine! i also loved that quote about “so many ways that decentralization can fail”. Already made a clip of that same quote, too! I will share soon. 🤝
