Flatbuffers and protobuf are meant for generic data formats that evolve over time. Nostr is a fixed data format, protobuf is overkill.

You can write a TLV parser in like 2 functions. If you need libraries to do things then it means it’s too complicated to begin with.

why

I just realized this isn’t true, since the json encoded string is signed you would be forced to decode json strings regardless. Damn this probably isn’t worth it then.

This is an optional optimization, you can ignore it. It is just advertised in relay metadata and if clients want to use it they can. Versioning is not an issue with TLV and we’re talking fixed formats here, notes and subscriptions don’t change much. If new fields are added to notes or filters then it would just be a new type.

its not illegal

one of the slowest parts of receiving lots of events on mobile is actually json decoding. I wonder if it’s time to create an optimized binary transport for nostr notes. Could be a simple TLV format.

I need to chill with the ternary operators

“So #[0]​, big picture, where do you see #bitcoin in 50 years?”

“Yes.”

It varies month to month: so far rough costs per month weee;

- $49

-$140

- $220

- $520

-$180 (projected) I think we tackled some huge data-out overages, will find out end of the month..
