The relay network is just our flimsy V1. Once people get used to sign stuff with private keys in self custody, the transfer of the data can happen in hundreds of different ways. The most revolutionary part of Nostr is to get people signing. Everything else will fall into place in time.
Seems reasonable. Can't wait to see where we go.
This is heavy.
WebRTC side channels 😍
People think WebSockets are impressive, imagine when we get ubiquitous WebRTC.

what is an example of not-relay? this sounds cool in theory but I'm skeptical of any technical solution that doesn't at least have a proof of concept
Thats a very good insight! Thank you. I'll carry it.

100%! Not only getting used to signing, but expecting signed content too. If you can't show proof of origin (as in a signed note from the enemy politician), there's no reason to believe the lie.
Nostr is not just anti-memory-hole tech; it's also anti-ministry-of-"truth" tech. You can't "revise" the thing the other person said. Plus, we can sign much more than notes, but any blob, like audio/video files.
No more "I am [name of politician], and I approve this message, but a code that comes with meta data that signs the critical content, and your media player looks for the signature and notifies you of the signature status. Maybe this can be part of the codecs themselves!
