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 @PABLOF7z @Derek Ross @Deleted Account @fiatjaf

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

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
