I made damus, npubs, and zaps ⚡️ Independent bitcoin core and lightning dev.

protocols evolve... you don't need to use HTTP/3 + QUIC which is wayyy more complicated than HTTP 1.0. I still use http 1.0 in some C projects, doesn't mean we can't strive to build faster and more efficient versions of something.

so by my definition of a "nostr node" the damus notification relay technically isn't a nostr node, since there's no way to sync notes between it and yours. maybe nostr node = node that understands nip77 could be one definition.

this could enable nostr to be more like a p2p network in the future with the right overlay network, with nodes syncing with each other via negentropy. me and martti and a few others have been thinking about this.

it will save trillions of bytes of bandwidth. it is like rsync for nostr. the idea of fetching notes you already have will be an ancient concept.

this is even more important when you're pulling from multiple relays. right now you download tons of extra stuff for no reason. this fixes that.

maybe once nip77 adoption is widespread...

the damus notification relay doesn't store any data

a relay or a client with a database

few understand we have one of the best protocols for efficiently syncing datasets between nostr nodes. nostr officially grows up when NIP-77 lands.

nostr will outlive all social media platforms. legacy social are like one-off structures that eventually collapse. nostr is like dna, it can replicate itself into many forms and persist long into the future.

gm nostr

don’t get me started on boneless “wings”

That didn’t work out last time

Who would buy

probably won't work until node is back up

Apparently it gets corrupted even in raid setups according to people i’ve talked to here… i suspect there is a bug but core devs don’t think so

the people on nostr are some of the smartest and coolest i’ve ever got to know. who cares if it doesn’t take over the world. It’s done more than i could ever ask for.

apparently my bitcoind leveldb corrupted *yet again* so I have to redownload the entire blockchain from scratch. ffs. leveldb is terrible.

cavalier attitude towards backwards compatibility and interoperability
