Interesting comment by Peter Todd when discussing the possible use of nostr as a new protocol for the bitcoin-dev mailing list. His comments are not particular to that usage though: " Strong NACK on nostr. It's a badly designed, centralized, protocol that needs a significant redesign to be usable. While off topic for this mailing list, some of its many issues include: * Reliance on single-key, cryptography that often results in people having their keys compromised. This is a serious problem in the context of bitcoin-dev, where faked messages published could easily have market-moving results. * Inability to mirror relays: since nostr deliberately ignores the lessons of blockchains, there is no way to be sure that you have a complete set of messages from a given person, for a given topic, etc. * Highly centralized design: since mirroring relays isn't reliable, in reality nostr operates in a highly centralized fashion, dependent on a tiny number of relays that can't be easily replaced if taken down. " He was replying to this proposal by @Ademan (I believe). @fiatjaf @jb55 @PABLOF7z @Cameri🐦‍🔥 @ODELL

Wow, after 5 months of my appeal I had forgotten about this... I still don't know what I did wrong, but I don't care anymore 😄 image
