But then you have nothing signed. Just junk data floating around

Read from trusted relays and require AUTH to write

You’d need a protocol that shows which relays are trusted and given auth. You’re reinventing pubky at that point

that is called the 10002 list

Yeah let’s just do it that way then. It’s better for regular people. Decreases foot guns

We already have a 10002 list showing which relays people use and trust. Maybe we can add a special flag, but that’s it. Start publishing unsigned notes and you’re good to go.

Notes can still be signed after the fact if you want.

Kind 10002 lists are actually more resistant than Pubky’s DHT as they can be distributed through any channel, not just a single defined method.

Mainline DHT traffic can be detected and blocked.

We’d need to combine this with some kind of “master key” and delegation system, right?

Relays can decide whether they want to allow subkeys to AUTH and write on behalf of the main key.

This is more powerful than delegation alone.

Read restrictions can also be done by you guessed it, AUTH!
