it's been 84 years
can we finally decide on noteid, nevent or naddr for post sharing
let's at least have proper foundations set and a common ground to build various clients on
Discussion
The answer is all of them are applicable
...
note ID is just that, a specific note
a nevent is an extended note ID that *might* tell you where you could find it (it could also be lying)
a naddr is a pointer to a specific (P)REs identified by kind and depending on the kind a d tag, which could be any one of many different notes, but usually the latest one
and also it could tell you where to find it, or not
Consensus is an illusion 🙌
nevent and naddr ftw, specially if they have relay metadata
whatever y'all can find consensus on
Don't make things to easy ok?
I understand why we have all these different encoded entities but all nostr events should be representable with a unified entity. Its weird for users and weird for devs to deal with all these cases when all nostr events are nostr events.
Technically, today every event can be represented with a naddr if it has a d-tag. Not had to put a UUIDv4 on everything. Food for thought.
