Pubky is more appropriately thought of as an alternative to something like a bittorrent client would operate

Rn in private beta we are tokenizing our keys using PKARR (which i like bc I'm a cold key psycho) PKARR allows a bridge between a DHT mainline and your home server... currently synonym is hosting the initial server (this makes sense to me bc of upfront cost and build, your machine needs to understand PKARR to make keys discoverable)

So your signing for your indexed data that is hosted on homeserver tied to your tokenized keys... your keys act like a DNS but the packets are more complex [this is ideal for my privacy and security preferences]

This means later there is opportunity for multiple servers, but that becomes super robust as it would require a build and not just a server host... however, you could probably use the use case to be profitable as a server host (which IMO is ancap af)

Your notes are stored on your own server? It seemed like I could have written a note and I don’t have that setup

Is there a default server hosted by the app?

Yes that's what I was just explaining, a homeserver that machine understands PKARR discovery

I get it. There’s one server for now. Thanks!

Yep exactly!

DHT is a distributed Hash Table

Not that I should ever need to explain a departure as a sovereign digital nomad but fwiw

Pubky and nostr are not comparable tech... so if anyone is confused, these aren't even in the realm of competition

The relay model is soooooo deeply different

The similar features are interoprable, decentralized key based social identity really... that's honestly not groundbreaking tech for either project either and that's pretty much where similarity ends
