https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/345 is pretty ingenious and simple, and could be a good thing, even though I agree with all the criticisms it has received too.

But personally I don't understand why we can't just use torrents. BitTorrent already supports "webseeds", which are servers that literally serve the file, and the same file can be served from many of these servers. BitTorrent is a very simple protocol too, with many libraries and implementations in many different languages. There is no reason to reinvent things.

Or maybe there is. What is the reason? What can this (or other similar proposals) do that BitTorrent directly can't?

is there any NIP that proposes to reduce or get away from clearnet dns currently - just a dummies q

btw i saw ur intention for ASIC hw acquisition in another note couldnot reply there - u need to be careful - hunt for used one - esp when market is HOT - price get proportional to btc price movement rather that semiconductor market.

Yes and no. There is a petname-based idea, but it's hard to imagine it scaling as much as DNS. We'll need a spacechain for that.

ok thanks 🙏🤙💜 will learn n see how this topic evolves

How does a spacechain work?

I will resist my urge to explain this one.

Has anyone implemented the concept?

will be happy 2 collaborate n contribute within my knowledge n ability in future
