Nostr Web Client

Yes, that's true, but I think it's obvious, the topology of the architecture has different approaches, for bitcoin redundancy is a requirement, while in nostr it's something recommended but not mandatory, in any case I think it's something also due to the current state of youth of nostr, I think as it continues to evolve solutions will come out that will fill the gap and can make nostr a more homogeneous network, I'm talking about merkle trees and the proposal of hornet, what do you think about that?

I havent followed hornet too closely, but I think relays are good for transmitting, bad for storing. For me, the advantage of nostr is owning your own identity

My take is that the core innovation of #nostr is the combination of: 1) generating your own identifier (.i.e., owning your identifier), and 2) signing every event you transmit.

Relays are great, but not absolute necessary. I could create a standalone platform that only does 1) and 2). Might not be useful for the wider world, but that might be ok for my purposes.
