relays are transient, pubkeys are permanent

Ephemeral storage 😂🤣

Relays should have npubs too. Gets rid of reliance on DNS and TLS

the only tricky part is then they become ugly IP addresses or inscrutable npubs

the profiles of the relays could have human readable stuff but those profiles have to distribute widely to be searchable

it would be pretty revolutionary if we achieved it though... not even DNS crash could take down the network

there's lots of learning by p2p projects that will probably need to be fed into it to make it happen but i think it's basically an inevitable thing, the most complicated thing is we basically need something like a blockchain to register names, so we don't get impersonation problems, it's small data, could just be put into bitcoin in witness data (hey, why not, then it can be transferred as well)
