 There will be a million name conflicts too, yes. Good point. This is a pile of garbage. It’s a fork of nostr that I won’t follow. 
 So we can’t try stuff out is what your are saying?  
 You should try stuff in your head and decide not to code it.

These problems are easy to sniff out beforehand.

But I guess that’s what these discussions are for too. 
 Honestly, there’s no way nostr will expand without a few changes… but this NIP creates more problems than it solves. 
 Propose a better solution, have some stake in the game at the very least so we can entertain it. 
 The spec of the better solution will be released before the next @thenostrworld 

After @HORNETS launches on the 4th of July 🚀

Buckle-up. 🎢 
 We aren’t coding anything, it’s a proposed NIP and we are having a discussion about it? Calling it a pile of garbage because obviously you know better and saying you won’t use it because apparently you think so highly of yourself isn’t helping this discussion.

But fine, it’s a pile of garbage, whats your solution? I bet it’s perfect. 
 We do have a solution… Development is already underway. You’ll see soon enough. It scales outbox.

I outlined exactly why NNS breaks — but you only focused on the mean part of my comment. Focus on the meat of what I said before that.

When the spec is ready, I’ll make sure to share it here first. I’m drowning in work atm preparing for launching @HORNETS on the 4th of July, but after that it and Nestr are my main focus.

Be patient and I promise not to disappoint. 🙏 I’ve been trying to scale the CAP Theorem parameters of Nostr for 2 years straight now, so I get disgruntled when I see half-baked solutions that make relay discovery even more difficult. 
 Great. Don’t get mad at other people trying out their ideas too just because you have yours.

Let the best idea win out in the game. 
 Mate, that’s not it at all… if you can’t take criticism, pack-up shop now.

I’m just pointing out why NNS doesn’t scale. It’s nothing personal. 
 I agree — let the best ideas win.

I’ll see you guys on the other side, where there are no URLs or missing notes. 🚀
