Hey #zapathon enjoyers! Nice work overwhelming Primal’s infrastructure. Our apologies, the Primal Wallet is down atm; you can’t send or receive payments. You can just see your balance and transaction history. We are working to bring it back up, stay tuned. Rest assured, we are improving the system and hope to be better prepared for the next #zapathon!

We got some questions about the gossip/outbox model, so I’ll clarify Primal’s position. We like the outbox model. We think it will help nostr scale and become more censorship resistant. Primal will roll out support for the outbox model in several steps. We recently upgraded all Primal clients to manage relays per NIP-65. We are currently in the process of upgrading our clients to leave relay hints on all published events to make sure that outbox clients work well with the content published by our clients. Next we will randomize the default list of relays for new users to help spread content out. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service. Imho, the winning approach involves using the outbox model together with caching nodes, giving us the best of both worlds. I described this approach a year ago when we launched the preview of Primal:

Given today’s network topology, it is not clear how Nostr could support 100M users. Let’s consider an approach that might help with scaling, UX...

Yesterday I had the privilege of witnessing the demos of the first @Sovereign Engineering cohort here in Madeira. Mind completely blown. Everyone should check out these projects. People have no idea how good Nostr is going to get. @Gigi and @PABLOF7z are legends for instigating this. Things are going to get insane.
