I'm not able to follow the Outbox model vs Blastr model discussions. Has anyone written about this?
I think this is the right time to introduce coordinated discussions. Most of the arguments from major thought leaders on both sides are all buried under a ton of unrelated notes. This info is lost.
Let us start using #hashtags, for now, to make argements for and against certain models.
If you are leaning towards the Gossip model, pls use #gossip
And if you're leaning towards the Blastr model, pls use #blastr

Meanwhile I'll collect these notes to create a Nostrpedia page. And keep it updated over time.

What are the main differences between the two? Someone mentioned #gossip model but never really explained it to me.
gossip model is based on NIP-65, which is where users publish an event that specifies where they publish events, and where they look for responses to their events (and inbound DMs) also known as "outbox model" which is a much more accurate name
blastr is just opportunistic broadcast to everyone who will accept a new event
my opinion is that opportunistic broadcast favours the biggest relay (most bandwidth and storage) whereas gossip/outbox model is more horizontally scalable and doesn't bias traffic towards central nodes
From what I understood #gossip is a bit like small block size in #bitcoin ;)
it's a similar thing, in the respect that the linear increase in data size, and thus bandwidth cost, have an exponential growth pattern, which rapidly eliminates the marginal capacity of the network (the smaller nodes)
doesn't the two models co-exist already?
