I write code ⚡️

If there's no reputation behind the bot, signing is completely pointless. It's not an immutable archive of things Trump said... it's an immutable archive of what some random anon claims trump said

How does device A differentiate this public key from a random other signed public key?

I get that, as a system, less outbox relays (ie avoiding full replication to every relay) is important for scaling nostr.

But why should I, as a greedy individual that wants max censorship resistance for my own posts, not send my notes to hundreds of relays (assuming I have the bandwidth)? Clients can slowly send them out in the background without affecting my UX.

Are we building a system that relies on altruistic behaviour to scale?

Ah I misunderstood. Pasting nsec itself is bad, of course 👍

The lowest levels of the stack are too ossified to have your ideas adopted, while the highest levels are already idea saturated. The most interesting place to innovate is a thin slice in the middle, where small changes can have radical effects. Right now I believe the sweet spot is identity and data storage of small payloads
