Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Samson Mow excellion@jan3.com 1 year ago

I started out with 9 relays when I created my profile here. 4 are dead now and Nostr is a lot bigger. I don’t think it’s fair to say that there will be more relays as it grows and not have a clear incentive you can point to for why people will suddenly run more. I think all the recent events with Telegram and Samourai should be a clear indicator of where things are going. Having many relays doesn’t help if they all have nice URLs and the operators can be easily identified.

I think he's only looking at social media point of view. For that I agree people are used to social media to be free. But if he wants for example to add nwc for aqua the best way is to have a aqua relay Instead of using whatsapp for a company group he can make a relay for his company and use something like 0xchat Most people are seeing nostr just as a social media but theres a lot of the other stuff to explore

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, a relay sits behind a url. However, you cannot argue Nostr is not decentralized due to relays, take a relay down others will be setup, you cannot stop the sharing of information by taking down relays.
