@PABLOF7z brought up in this interview that one of the big problems with Nostr he acknowledges is the fact it is very data intensive which translates to cost on mobile networks.

I'm trying to get him interested in adding something to the base protocol that could drastically reduce the amount of network chatter between relays and clients, reducing cost, time and energy. I'm not a developer though so I don't know how to do this through the proper channels, please talk to me if you want to take it forward.

The proxy Pablo made is a good solution. Not everyone will run their own node but it could be offered as a temporary service for those travelling with data restrictions. Although, battery consumption is also a reason to optimise.

Hi. Thanks for sending me that proposal. The way nostr works, that proposal wouldn’t make much difference; the vast amount of data consumption comes from downloading the same events over and over from multiplier relays. While there are a lot of low-hanging fruit optimizations left in client devel...
