@5e7ae588d7d11eac4c25906e6da807e68c6498f49a38e4692be5a089616ceb18 Verifying My Public Key for mastodon: "https://mastodon.social/@melvincarvalho"

It says:

User has NOT signed their mastodon profile with their nostr private key.

https://mastodon.social/@melvincarvalho.json

My nostr is actually in my .json profile

See RHS

We could standardize this, though it's actually slightly nuanced in AP since all keys are actually URIs

And mastodon have done this is a complex way, which is actually broken ... sigh

nice idea!

Re subdomains i cant quite remember how, but we did it here:

You could have some kind of haproxy magic too

Starting up a new relay on demand is smart, imho

Lots of different communities or tribes reminds me of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net

https://void.cat/ is on github

I hope we can get to the model where sites like this are self sustaining

I think low hanging fruit it turn on donations, as there will be some users wanting to support nostr infrastructure

Possibly even a nostr infrastructure open collective for relays and media, though open collective take 10%, it's not ideal, but maybe better than nothing...

Got it. Im still unsure it compares to the whole REST surface

A friend of mine does market monitoring for the biggest exchange in europe. It's a few terabytes a month

Archive.org which is one site has 10,000 terabytes

REST has a proven track record to scale to billions of people with low resource intensity. Websockets are a newer technology, let's see how they get on.

What's interesting is most older web systems started with HTTP then added websockets for realtime. Nostr starts with realtime, and we can explore how to scale that with supporting NIPS.

Fun times! :)

That's interesting do you have some stats on that?

It would be interesting to compare the volume that goes through REST and the volume that goes through websockets, and also number of users serviced

And also compare the resource needed

Scaling to 1 billion users is still a big challenge for nostr, given that it's mainly grass roots

You can, but you might want to save resources when nostr gets to millions of users

In REST you would use GET if there are no side-effects

Lots of different ways to do this at scale, e.g. graphql type things
