Replying to Avatar The Fishcake (nostr.build)

I was thinking about how to overcome the problem with hosted media when using nostr. I know there are NIPs that tried to push it to relays (not great, IMHO) and some other NIPs that still trying to address the issue to some extent. The main problem that I think needs solving is URL scheme that is universal for media (video, audio, images) that can be embedded in your immutable note. Then perhaps each client will “discover” where the actual files/stream is hosted and do the rest as with normal URL. One advantage is that user is free to re-host their media and still have functional notes. There are many things that will need to be thought through, but I think it’s a sound approach. What do you think? 🐶🐾🤔

maybe relays could run a fileserver alongside the relay.. but then you'd have to upload the image to 10 relays 😂
