a random relay should be fine. more fancy implementations could count all events from a user they have gotten from each relay and use the one with the most. even fancier would be a count that takes timestamps into accounts (so they can detect if a user has moved between relays).
I don't know, it's probably good to have a little bit of chaos in these things, just don't spread misinformation about relays.
It would be great for a Nostr mobile app user to scan a QR code from a friend in the real world and the app immediately get a pubkey and relay URL from that QR so it starts following that.
you're all doing the hashtag stuff aren't you? who volunteers for writing a NIP for that?
I've tried to use https://minds.com/ as my main nostr client and account, but it failed because no client is watching the minds relay in their hardcoded list of relays (except maybe damus? I didn't try that)
in https://astral.ninja/ people would have to manually input the URL of the minds relay in the settings, other clients (https://alphaama.com/) don't even have settings for that. but it would have been a big hassle anyway.
this is why I think the npub/nshare/nprofile/whatever scheme for adding people along with optional relay URLs scheme is very important.
and that is also why I think clients should start thinking about grabbing relay URLs from event tags so they associate some relays with some users and use that when querying for new notes (i.e. don't try to query notes from a minds user from the wellorder relay and don't try to grab notes from a random user from the minds relay).
how do you see this situation?
no? for me it is. I don't know how dart works internally but I've downloaded a file and ran it and it worked.
it happens to me too
how dare you suggest a library that is in Go and not Rust!
I have planned on doing that in my head multiple times, who knows, someday, but it doesn't matter since I can't get payments on github anyway
the web5 guys were shitting on nostr saying you can't revoke/rotate your keys
dear nostrians, do you see this approach of publishing everything to all relays and automatically mirroring all events from all relays to all others as a sustainable behavior in the long run?
what if we get many thousands of users and millions of events? what do you see as the next step?
they don't
this is interesting for people wanting to easily run private home relays and still access them from anywhere or let others access
I am hoping for that too, but I think maximum normie awe will happen when the second large existing social network integrates and they can see events from one on the other
this felt like an attack from the web5 people against nostr
some relays may have more requirements for allowing people to publish events than others.
you could use the public-free-open-spammed relays to fetch notes just from people you follow and other relays that filter spam out better to fetch events that could be spam, like replies or public feeds.
why is that a "but"? it is a static binary, you don't need dart to run it.
