Replying to Avatar Nice and Kind Vic

Sometimes I fear that nostr is going to suffer death by a thousand cuts, self imposed, due to ...

- inconsistent data in relays

- improper handling of replaceable events

- ridiculously long lived caching that ignores replaceable events

- inefficient bandwidth utilization

- rush to partial implementations

We can fix this. But to do so requires staying focused on projects and features, vs abandoning them when they get 20-30% of the way there.

If someone could work on the following projects I'd appreciate it: Flockstr, NJump, Coracle.

Ya scaling seems problematic. I’ve tried a few different clients and every feed takes at least a few a seconds to load. Some screens will literally just hang. Worse than the early days of Twitter w/ the fail whale. Is this everyone else’s nostr experience? #asknostr

It’s early days. Relay configuration can help this.

Sorry for the dumb Q, but what does ‘relay configuration’ mean. Someone else told me “add more relays” so I added like a dozen with low ish latency but that didn’t seem to help much. What else is there to configure?

I use Damus on iOS running 5G and it has much better load times than Primal.
