1. what are the issues with performance and reliability? socket perf with noise is better than tls

2. bidirectional comms are supported via a persistent lightning connection and bidirectional packets. commando is and example of this

3. is this really a big deal

4. it does work in the browser, i have demos (like lnlink.org) that shows fetching invoices over lightning (bolt11 ironically)

i think nostr is cool, but making that a requirement for all lightning applications seems wrong

1) It mimics Tor, each hop is added latency and failure probability, whereas Nostr being a web server is the same performance people expect from any website

2/3) Bi-direction needs to be at the app layer if its to be used in commerce, payments often have additional context... you're not firing the zap receipt from Lightning for example

4) That appears to be a middleware plugin to talk websockets, since the browser requires websockets... nostr is just json and websockets already
