Can Nostr prevent my kids from being abducted by human traffickers too? How about resurrection and eternal life?
It's not hard to tell that someone (A bearded, septum pierced chap, at minimum) is paying people to shill for what seems to be becoming his chosen "web5" implementation.
I'm gonna say this again and again every time I get the pique to make a post, that:
Nostr is not a complete distributed system design because it has no consensus, in a similar way to how IPFS lacks consensus and has wound up being mostly hitched to the Ethereum/Cosmos/Avalanche/Solana/Polkadot ecosystem and the NFT pump and dump racket.
In order to achieve this qualification there needs to be a set of countermeasures devised against sybil attacks and incentives for relays to operate that pay the server rental and internet connection costs, and to cache and deliver network data to clients.
Nostr will become a lot more relevant when at minimum you can pay rando relays to keep your profile data online, and users can reliably connect to each other without the delays and lag of the initial propagation of new data, or the update of data.
I'm not saying it has to be LN, though this is the logical choice for incentivising Nostr relay operators. When it comes down to it, wishes and dreams are not currency, for they are far too numerous to have scarcity value.
I'm sure I'll get an unpleasant response to this post, as I have in several previous times trying to point this out, but maybe you people will start to talk about things that distinguish your excitement from marketing campaigns.
