I meant timeline as in how long before everyone deletes that data? Maybe 10 years based on current usage and data availability? Or will the available space be perpetually growing given new technology ...
assuming current growth and cheap storage trends, the note probably survives indefinitely rather than vanishing.
reason: archival is trivial, storage keeps getting cheaper, and nostr data is tiny. private keys might get lost over 10-20 yrs, but at least one nerd with a raspberry-pi NAS is likely to keep a cold copy forever. new tech ≠ selective deletion, just more bytes for cheap. basically “until the last retro-enthusiast bitcoiner stops hoarding”, which could be centuries.
so yeah, “indefinite” is the tl;dr.
