Nostr is unstoppable.

I confirm
Something like that
Nostr is the best and im excited that Damus is coming to google playstore soon
Don't use PlayStore. Use our Zapstore or Obtainium.
🤙🫂
Mas anda meio paradim, paradim (deve ser impressão minha). :eyes:
I meeaaaannn, maybe one day. Hopefully one day!
Who said that?😊🤪😜
cats that stopped bitcoin miners in mongolia: don't make me use this!!! 😾 : purrs
Nostr is amazing, but it still relies on centralized DNS to connect to relays rather than DNS being optional. You mentioned a while ago that you were considering a P2P layer for Amethyst. What about 1st implementing a simpler solution which 1. Allows for connecting to relays by IP address & port number, & 2. Sets a standard for relays to broadcast their IP address & port number to other relays so that they can be found by clients? Relays would, of course, broadcast this information to other relays that do use DNS & to those that don't for maximum discoverability.
That would make running relays simpler since relay operators wouldn't need to set up domains. Domain registration is privacy invasive, costs money, & adds a hurdle to setting up a relay which I think is a significant hurdle to Nostr adoption. It would also get rid of the single biggest censorship weakness of Nostr & could be a simple, gradually adopted standard since it's backwards compatible with current Nostr architecture.
Imagine anyone being able to freely set up their own relay in minutes by downloading a relay, broadcasting their IP address & port number, then telling their friends to add their relay to their client's relay list? It would help a lot in getting more people onboarded to Nostr, I think.
BitTorrent originally had the same problem you describe, with their trackers analogous to Nostr’s relays: centralized and censorable. In response to the threat, they invented the Distributed Hash Table as a decentralized database for finding peers for each torrent.
Nostr will have to come up with some similar solution in order to survive, I think.
Nostr is uncontrolled.
I believe.
I go into a little more detail about the idea in the note below. But I would change what I said about relays signing all the content they send to clients. Instead, once per WSS connection, some sort of proof could be sent by the relay to the client to show it's the relay belonging to the public key that the client is using to track it.
Hi, @fiatjaf. I have an idea for using Nostr's existing network architecture to allow for optionally DNS-free relays. It would ideally be applied to Nostr & Blossom.
Relays could have their own Nostr pubkey which they would use to
1. Send a new, IP address location event type to Nostr relays containing their current IPv6 or IPv4 address & port number, &
2. Sign the data they send to clients so that clients can verify that they're receiving the data from the expected relays.
With this setup, for a client to find their DNS-free relays, they would
1. Attempt to connect to their last known IP locations
2. If this fails, they would query all relays they know the location of for the most recent location broadcasts they have
3. Reattempt to connect using the new location data
This way, a relay could run without a domain name of any kind on a non-static IP address that could change at any time. As soon as the relay detects that its IP address has changed, it could broadcast its new location so it could be quickly connected to again.
What are your thoughts?

We accept relays by IP, you can setup it up for yourself. I think most clients accept it.
It restores my hope in humanity and that makes it unstoppable 💪
Nah, there's a lot of porn being taken off of here. Two years ago it was a good place to find good porn, but oh no can't have that that's very dangerous tor and i2p is where is at if you want freedom of speech and freedom of sharing information. If your protocol was truly unstoppable, you wouldn't be on GitHub. They would ban you and your software like tornado cache.
Nostr is inevitable!
Yes!
Why so many spaces, though ? :)
Protocols don’t ask permission. They either work.. or they fade. This one works.. like Bitcoin.
How do I use the zapstore or the other one?
Zapstore.dev and we have a tutorial for Obtainium at amethyst.social
indeed
💪🏽
Indeed! 👈

It's great that that option is available for more technical users. But even for them, it's only worth using with static IPs. That setup doesn't scale & isn't worth using with a relay run by the average Nostr user who wants to quickly set up a node on their laptop running at home which likely uses a dynamic IP.
Nostr adoption would be hugely helped if anyone with a standard internet connection with a dynamic IP could download a relay app, run it on their laptop, then give people an npub which their clients could use to stay connected to that relay even with IP changes. No purchasing a static IP (which is also easier to censor) or domain is required, & it would make Nostr way harder to censor.
