I smell a new npub-based ssl certificate replacement for relays coming
Discussion
Nostr be-like:
forget what you know, open your mind to what's next
The idea here is to identify the relay with a uri something like thus:
wsn://npub1234....7890@[1001:1003:1003:1004::abcd]:8443
wsn://npub1234....7890@22.33.44.55:8443
wsn://npub1234....7890@centralizeddomainname.com:8443
wsn://npub1234...7890@torelayabcd...efg.onion:8443
Where the format is
wsn://
wsn: Web Sockets Nostr
The @ symbol could be changed to something that doesen't have an alternative meaning. Maybe #, %, &, ~ or whatnot
The only downside is it wouldn't play nice with reverse websocket proxies
This is how nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 works basically.
