more / better relays

when you destroy production capacity, you get inflation

and when you "reduce the money supply", you don't fix that inflation, you just get a recession

the only thing governments should ever spend money on is shared infrastructure, and that is never wasted... it's the only money you can "print/steal" that has a chance of paying people back, by forcing cooperative enterprise

im jus not posting there, but ive checked it cuz people on nostr link there all the time

jack calls it "web5" by i think we need a better name

This is not about that.

It's just about being able to publish "this is my latest profile", "these are my latest posts", so your "true state" isn't tied to a single relay. it makes nostr far more censorship resistant. imagine the 10 largest relays ban alex jones. But alex jones publishes a hash of his latest stuff in an OP_RETURN. So you know you don't have the latest sync. Your client can then keep an eye out for new relays, by looking in your followers profiles, connecting and requesting alex's content until it discovers the correct relay.

As long as one person you follow has a relay in common, you can find the content, know you are up to date.

Good clients should suggest relay changes to match your follower set.

Censorship resistance is, as usual, the hardest thing and the most important thing.

Algorithm support is important too! But it can go 2 ways: Client and Server. FWICT there are no NIP proposals around how to implement feed organization and conversation discovery algorithms.

nostr needs a timechain:

this is a good first step

some way of publishing "this is the latest stuff"

many users can even aggregate their sync, allowing more frequent and lower cost hashes

multi-user sync can be a service relays provide, making it cheaper/easier to sync
