Software Engineer by day, aspiring beet farmer by night. ☦️💻⚽🏥📷📈💪☕️🇺🇸🇪🇬 Things I like: - #P2P/#decentralized/#opensource stuff - #History (esp Rome/Greece/Egypt) - #Transit oriented city design - #Gadgets/#ElectricVehicles/#Solar Power - #Space exploration - #Videogames (especially #GTA) Things I've Built: - Agora: Follow your favorite topics across Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, and Threads https://agorasocial.app - Chronicl: Decentralized web archiver that distributes archives across Nostr relays https://chronicl.vercel.app/ “Egyptians are twisted and bitter people with a sense of humor” - Roman poet Theocritus

As far as I understand from NIP-65/Gossip, rather than pulling in everything from every relay a user is connected to, it'll pull in only what their follows have posted, from the relays they're known to have posted them to, right?

If so, then when we get to a point where most major clients use NIP-65, will multiplexer proxies no longer be needed since the redundancy is avoided?

Super intrigued by this concept of an internet archive built on nostr. Potentially could use purpose-built relays for long term storage of **only** website archives, not regular notes.

Anyone know who's working on this? The commit just says the author is the waybackarchiver github account.

Considering I open Damus and Instagram with similar frequencies, but Instagram feeds have way more images and videos, it would seem that it’s not media that uses up the bulk of bandwidth on nostr.

Rather, this seems to show that downloading tons of redundant data from relays is what causes the bulk of data usage, no?

If so, making clients more intelligent at deduping by using NIP-65/Gossip should be a **big** priority. Casual users aren’t going to be cool with burning through 30 GB of data and their battery life.

Local notification as in a pop up on my phone itself? I have that turned off for most apps so I didn't see that, just the bell icon notification.

@jb55​ hmm i’m still getting notifications from people who i don’t follow commenting on hellthreads, even though i turned on that new setting. Am I missing something?

Yeah I'm envisioning a setup like this:

- Users upload media to hosts like nostr.build/nostrimg/etc who act as persistent bittorrent web seeds

- Users who then download that media from the web seed can then act as seeders themselves if they're on desktop, their client supports it, and they opt in.

This way we can try to find some middleground compromise that combines the persistence of centralized media hosting with the (theoretically) more evenly distributed bandwidth load of full P2P.
