How much data will Nostr nodes need to store in the future to keep a decently long history?
Relays actually eat through a lot of bandwidth considering it's just json notes, seems strange tbh 🤔
Discussion
Big Nostr fan but how best to decentralize the storage costs/requirements of all the history? Every user for himself to save all notes on a local node?
Run your own relay, best if you do from home, or you can use relaying.io
Big popular relays are beasts in compute, memory, and storage requirements. Are their good enough decentralizing incentives? ID’s are really easy to spin up but there are real costs to maintaining and keeping note history around long term.
