Yes but we should bootstrap users inside a mesh of udp p2p servers(“providers”). Right now it’s only will and a dozen running very targetable servers. Aka. Ethereum/AWS/… #bitcoin should be in the core of #nostr from its foundation(L1) not on paper bitcoin (lightning). As an exemple bitcoin can bootstrap to a network of p2p from its foundation. That’s a ground to build from. Every single guy who tried something centralized have failed in this area. Or will fail in the near future. Bitcoiners require 100% decentralization or it’s not real plebs.

Many clients already do that. There are only few that are still in the old model with a list of bootstrapping relays. I think you are stuck in the past. Bitcoin nodes already do too much to be bothered by Nostr events. They shouldnt be used for this. There is no need to destroy the money layer with social media posts. But feel free to code your P2P nostr network. I am building mine as well. Its a good layer 2 for the relay network.
