NIP-29 is lowkey the most hated NIP because it reverses the "smart client, dumb relay" assumption and is centralized by design. NIP-29 is private property, not a public square. The relay as the authority (who can read, who can poast, etc.) is a feature for this use case, not a bug. Incentivises running your own relay. Makes writing clients simpler. Your house, your rules.

The NIP-72 approach is naive, clunky, bandwidth and computation intensive, mostly poorly implemented and a dead end for what NIP-29 tries to accomplish.

NIP-29 is pragmatic, not purist. Keep hatin' but imma keep building on it.

Perfect. You've highlighted the people to not network with. Find the plebs. Network with the plebs. The real conference happens in the hallways and in the expo area.
