What is the Nostr Outbox Model? #HOWDONOSTR The Nostr Outbox Model (NIP-65) allows users to define which relays they want to use for sending notes directly within their profile, improving efficiency and relay management. By declaring this in a special event kind via their profile relay settings, users set preferences on where their events should be sent. This reduces user confusion and fuels decentralization. The simplest take away here is that users no longer need to have a shared common relay between them to communicate. Clients handle all of the heavy lifting for them. This change simplifies both the client experience and relay coordination, aligning with decentralized social networking principles. With the Outbox Model, users can use a variety of small and community relays, and still communicate with one another. What does this look like and how does this work in practice?

Looks good on the phone as long as you use Desktop-mode. Nice way to illustrate the idea ! image

This presentation on how communication trough relays work shows why Nostr is censorship resistant.

Going to have a deeper read later but still think I’m not 100% understating how this all works. How do you implement this on Damus mobile? Or do I use something else? Videos on all of these topics would be huge

Some clients only show a list of relays with read and write options. Amethyst organizes it differently. Many clients don't support it.

That is the best part. They don't need to find it. Their clients do all of the work.
