It’s npubs all the way down lol… and that’s probably a good thing. I’ve heard @calle 👁️⚡👁️ noting about npubs to address cashu mints I was talking with someone recently about npubs to be website addresses and I think @PABLOF7z shared something like this today? and now we’re learning from @hzrd149 that Blossom addresses a piece of media with an npub where the underlying serving location can be re-mapped making the media serving more resilient maybe npubs are really about creating an abstraction/mapping layer when accessing any entity, be it person or service?

Yup. 100%. The addressability plus the layers of “how to find stuff related to me” that the protocol already does makes it like the universal join table for nostr data. I’ve been digging in on double ratchets and syncing big groups across devices and, wouldn’t you know, I think npubs are going to solve problems there.
