So how does video/media-hosting work on #Nostr? Do the Relays keep a copy of the files to distribute to network participants, or does it relly on external hosting? #AskNostr #Question 

 external hosting. relays only host text. some people try to host media inside notes but they are crazy 

 Wot? Why they crazy 🤔 

 because storing binary data in text is a waste of disk space 

 and relays cap note sizes, so it only works for small files. Its better to use a protocol optimized for binary data. nostr is not it. 

 I like small files but you invented npubs so I'm conceding 

 Thank you, that's what i suspected 😃
