I don't know why they did what they did, but that is I report I would like to see even though I disagree with your general take that Nostr is fundametally centralized. Keep pushing.

Peter was very public about seeing serious issues but I haven't seen him consider the outbox model.
I've seen some project - was it some git replacement? - using some DHT to store the outbox relays of users and with TOR in the mix ... how is nostr not decentralized? I don't get the criticism and thus I don't get the need to spend $20k on exploring problems that are not problems yet.
Yes, nostr is dirty and naive in its approach but it still might actually work.
That's what I like about it. In theory it sucks, in practice it works.
It's like e-mail. Super bad idea to do it like it was invented, but we found a way to use it daily and it just works.
Overengineered designs earn PhDs, but don't have users.
I would like to see it, but not as a report, but a dashboard, so it's open. Not sure why that would cost 20k to make, but if you have a basic prototype or architecture of what you're talking about building that'd be helpful to conceptualize what you're talking about
