What do you suggest instead of having relays?

I have a network design that fixes this problem (You can find a proof-of-concept here:

). The fix is easy: node-to-node (p2p, just like bitcoin) and content propagation is solved by #peercuration (https://github.com/baumbit/peercuration). The design even works in adhoc meshnetworks. And… good news everyone, its applicable to Nostr notes!!!

I was corrected recently on that same assertion of "P2P just like bitcoin". Technically it's peer-to-node and miner. Is that observation semantic nitpicking or is bitcoin more than P2P?

Very interesting. I just read all your GitHub readmes. How do you do networking and p2p?

This 💯

How else do you make peace with regimes tho? Lol
