This is why, if in the future when redesign is inevitable (I'm convinced it has to happen) and as a community we don't want to waste time, building nostr 2 would be the path of least resistance, versus trying to build a competing protocol.

Ah yes, but I wondered which parts of it you consider poorly designed, since I don't know if we agree on the details.
For me, it's key management, no mechanism to avoid centralization around a particular use-case, and maybe also no optimization for any specific use-case.

Lack of gossip, json, ws, not designed for secrecy, query/follow by key... Its kind of a yolo protocol right now, turning into proper Frankenstein.
