Yeah fair point.

But at this stage I'm so SSI-pilled that when I see a "relay" "node" or "server" of any kind I can't help but think, "but this would just be so much better as a dependency-free, portable binary with all data serialized in a single-level store event log!

I have a mental problem :)

It would, but then it makes me wonder why you want to support Nostr on Plunder at all… why not just make a better version of Nostr *with* Plunder

Buncha reasons:

1. We have a lot to do that is specific to our system. Designing a "better" note-sharing protocol isn't a burden we need

2. Nostr is good! And has lots of clients and a decent adoption curve.

3. I think our tech can actually fix a lot of problems people have with Nostr relays. Good opportunity to introduce ourselves to a community with a positive contribution

4. Plunder should be viable as a "backend" personal API for anything you want to throw at it. Gobbling up existing "Earth data" and remaining compatible is part of the goal (vs just reinventing everything on the inside and not being able to talk to Earth)

In that sense, this Web5 could also be run on Plunder just like Nostr could be, right?

Yep! Everything can!

It's a Turing complete system
