NIH syndrome

and somehow nostr devs miss obvious solutions

Is there a repo for it?

huh

Nvm. I'll go look it up.

How would that work, you would need to seed your avatar? I think that would be very slow and create even more instability.

Also the slowest part is actually discovering peers. You could publish your own as a list (like relay list) and have other peers be a fallback

I have downloaded things from torrents many times but still don't really understand how they work years later despite trying.

So I would say don't attribute to malice what can be explained by me being retarded.

https://webtorrent.io/ if you want a web demo

You're trying to reason with a troll
