Subnostr

Had the opportunity to hang out with nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd recently. Dude is an insane asset when it comes to running servers at scale, he runs his own ISP and is very knowledgeable when it comes to running reliable servers at scale. I am going to get strfry running on freebsd and he is going to help run some hardcore relays for damus’ bootstrap relay set. Always blown away at the skillset of people in the bitcoin and nostr space who are willing to help for free because they believe in the cause 🤯

We are beginning the development process for transmitting Nostr events in a peer-to-peer fashion, away from relays. This will start with Gift-wrapped DMs, Private Attachments, Private zaps, Private Text Notes, and Private Reactions; and will be the preferred transmission choice if both users are online, falling back to relays when they are not. Our Push Notification system already transmitted over 500,000 GiftWrapped Nostr events that relays will never see. With a full P2P this will get even better and will open the doors for voice and video calls directly inside Amethyst. Side-stepping relays won't be easy or quick. And I am sure we will get strong pushback from relay operators. But we will get there. And while this might start as an Amethyst feature, it will be a NIP and other clients will be able to join the privacy train.

Nostr is just starting.

Interesting. Looking forward to see what you cook up.

From the nostr readme: “it does not rely on P2P techniques, and therefore it works”
