Mixing JSON and cryptographic data structures is a terrible idea. Nostr should have chosen a binary serialization format, same as Bitcoin and OpenTimestamps. Parsing JSON is much more complex than you think it is; parsing binary is much simpler. #[0]

🎯 So true. The lazy typing and schema-less nature of JSON is a source of constant developer time waste. It’s useful, but overused.

Thank you! I think I would be the only one who was going to post about limitations and issues in the Nostr protocol. 💯 agree with you on this. BTW I had been looking for you on this thing 😂😂😂😂
