Anyone else think Fedimint is like taking nostr down to the byte level instead of JSON. Nostr can do a whole bunch of shit… but with JSON…

there are weird performance bottlenecks at the super edges of scaling compute that make JSON relevant which few things scale that high anyway….

They’re both about custody of your data. But at different circles of trust. Due to the monetary aspect Fedimint gets from Bitcoin, the stakes are much higher so the trust must be way more robust as value accrues in the federation. This limits individual Fedimint sizes but has potential real world locality (I think a local Fedimint anchors the relationship to flesh and blood and will be more attractive in the long run. Especially as features develop.

On the other hand, nostr enables you to put your data anywhere that’ll allow it. Not having to trust any one single guardian…errrr… relay guardian that data will be persisted. You can target your relay or pay several relay guardians to custody you data. But the data cannot be rugged, only deleted. It’s all signed and verifiably from your key(s?).

It’s going to be a bright future.
