Spark - nothing to do with relays. You can use it or not, it's up to you. I don't use Spark. UX - works for me. Using my own relay. Use other relays as backups. ED25519 - these days it does not matter, CPUs are super fast. Insufficient decentralization incentive - people are as decentralized as they want to be. And they can easily switch relays on the go. Superior architecture might be true, I don't know, but it means nothing if it has no users. Seems that the users prefer the "inferior" architecture.

The number of #Pubky users is increasing; even though it's in early beta and rough around the edges. Conversely, the number of Nostr users is in decline. Its new user retention is less than 1% and total zaps is less than $300/day. It seems that people aren't aware of Pubky and its architecture because the "Freedom Tech Industry'" invested lots of coin in Nostr and wants its RoI. This is why Matt Odell refuses to even speak with @John Carvalho about whether or not Pubky is better freedom tan than Nostr. You have a podcast and a discerning audience, and you are considered impartial. Perhaps you could moderate a debate?

Maybe it's because John is a giant cunt?

A lot of people still think Henry Ford was a giant cunt too. It's irrelevant.

Tbf John being a giant cunt is why I'm pretending to understand what any of this means, and becoming increasingly convinced all 24 of us should join pubky
