storing 733,131 kind1 notes in damus android/notedeck's optimized binary format is about 410MB you can keep most of the network on your phone in the size of a video

That's awesome! I kinda expected that, but actually seeing the numbers is crazy. This is also why I think that outbox + negative queries + Bluetooth mesh is going to be essential in the long run. If all phones store even 5 GB of "their network", we could truly drop all dependencies on the internet. Every device runs a relay and allows serving negative queries (or bloom filters), and is accessible via Bluetooth. To me that would be the most efficient way for Nostr to spread and be even more decentralized than Bitcoin
