What’s pubky?
Decentralized DNS (and other stuff)
Thanks for the info!
How's pubky so big already?
For the DNS part it reuses the bittorrent mainline network, which is very clever. In retrospect it seems obvious, but no one thought of it until now. That has 20+ million nodes and 15 year track record. It is almost impossible to censor.
Need to do some research. Insofar all I know is that clients get a .torrent file or magnet link which is used to download / seed some data files.
Melvin, noob question - Can Nostr just adopt DHTs for its discovery layer?
