Not sure of the detail, but there in lies the issue. It is not built yet, will require multiple devs to agree and implement, will take time and money, etc. It is ideal, but not ready, yet. Of all the media uploaders I mentioned and out there, NONE of them do anything like this, because it’s hard! In the meantime our nostr centralized media uploaders (nostr.build, void.cat, nostrimg.com, nostrcheck.me, satellite.earth/cdn) are fine for basic memes and photos. We are strongly advocating people not add anything too personal or sensitive and to use their own servers for that. @semisol , I agree an awesome decentralized media uploader and repository is needed for Nostr, but we need something until it’s built 🤙

Let’s take this offline, chat with Fishcake and Quentin, and see what this service would even look like. Dev time, cost, what exactly is needed etc.

I have a proof of concept developed in Coracle, files are uploaded to multiple hosts at once via NIP96 and nip94 events are generated for each file with all URLs. We are working in parallel with Fishcake to standardize the communication between hosts, allowing more advanced features in the future. If you want to test what I say clone the NIP96 branch of Coracle, made by me. On the other hand, congratulations nostr.build 😀, I will soon have to make a decision about it (paid accounts), NIP05 services are not expensive, but multimedia hosting is very expensive!!
