How much do you spend running the Damus relay every month? Is it a burdensome expense? Does it really cost millions to run one of the largest network nodes?
Also a huge privacy concern is a total la...
Nip 40 expiration timestamp. But besides that, there are no agreements as to how long a relay needs to retain anything anyway, if it becomes a burden relays can just delete things, users are responsible to keep their stuff alive by whatever means that may be (easiest is just pay for your relay). Damus has nuked its entire database twice now i think? You generally don't hear any complains what that happens.
As for all the fancy pancy DHT etc. stuff you mentioned earlier. Look you can come up with a 1000 intricate systems, but lets reflect for a moment that such a grugbrain approach as outbox-model, which however straightforward it seems surface level, has more than enough complexity going for it as it is, just fucking works. I really dont know where this idea comes from that we need large expensive relays...we demonstrably don't, its amazing.
Also before running to fancypancy-p2p mode, also reflect on that outbox always was the point of Nostr from the beginning, it was just implicit because its create assumed it to be obvious. And that given it was the point of Nostr, and it took a while to get implemented correctly among the ecosystem, maybe consider running towards the fancypancy was the fundamental mistake all a long, and why Nostr is where it is, and all those bazillion other innitiatives are where they are.
