Is there an ethos with respect to nostr app development?

for example, are developers discouraged from running private backend database instances, in favour of storing as much of their app data on relays, as is possible?

Or is it the reverse? Use nostr as a foundational coordination layer (for identity, payments, etc), then offload the more specific app data into a private database instance, to unburden the relays?

I know it's not a black and white issue, and certain use cases will require certain solutions, but is there a general trend of thought, in this regard?

Pi-hole. Route the devices on your home network through it, as their primary DNS.

Use it to block large lists of known malicious network destinations, be they surveillance, spam, scam related, or otherwise.

It's also possible to use it to prevent Apple / Android devices from 'phoning home' ...

Just got a chance to listen. Great work.

Obviously it is relay connection dependent, but it would be very interesting to learn more about the current resources required to stand an instance of the caching / indexer services.

Legend. Love the videos Ben. Keep them coming.

LN solves velocity scalability. Not sure it scales the userbase, however.

can't help but enjoy the idea that Blackrock are pumping the bags of all our early adopting third-world brethren.

I suspect that trend is only going to continue to weaken. Consider the sentiment around BRICS, or El Salvador's legal tender status given to Bitcoin..

As more nation state type actors adopt Bitcoin, and realise they're beholden to no-one, there's a strong possibility they will embrace this newly found sovereignty.

Just set this up in a couple mins! Mobile non-custodial lightning addresses with nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 ... AWESOME.

Anyone wanna try a small test tx to btcsessions@zeuspay.com ?

Would you consider covering this in a video?
