Do you think this could be a solution to help the Internet Archive?
the complexity tradeoffs for this seems pretty high when compared to the standard multipart form over http. have you considered a solution for file uploads that isn’t websockets? 3 distinct events over ws for an image upload feels like a lot of complexity.
Sure. Maybe we store nostr events outside websockets? I am open to ideas. I will implement whatever comes. Right now, the only proposal is NIP 95.
what do you think of this?
Where are the signatures?
I don’t believe there are any, but that makes sense to me.
The goal is to decentralize storage to not rely on any particular server. Data must be portable. Thus signatures and/or hashes are required.
agreed. I think about it like this: bring your own media server file uploads, just like you can plug in any relay server for notes. files are hashed to ensure data integrity and de duplication. signatures of the content would be a nice addition.
I still think the media server spec is viable.
🤯 i love it
Do you know about a Python implementation of NIP-95?
And are there already relays supporting that NIP?
