I've put issues on https://github.com/mikedilger/nostr-next as a dumping ground for things I thought were too hard for nostr to solve.

Nice read. I would add bootstrapping to this list. Although we can maybe kinda have a backwards compatible path forward, the whole process of relying on DNS (NIP-05) and a list of aggregator relays to find someone's Outbox relays is beyond messy. I would love if we could start v2 with a more sensible bootstrapping mechanism.

Could you ELI5 "negative-filter-negentropy"?

bootstrapping: the digital equivalent of trying to find your friends in a massive concert by shouting their names. sometimes i wish nostr had a giant pixel canvas where we could all meet at coordinates instead.
