Oddbean new post about login | logout #nostr client developers who are public figures may become targets for attacks! Those who run public relays are also in the same category!
You’re right about that! 😮💨💭
People kinda doing the same mistakes as we already witnessed in bitcoin
Well God dayyÿym. Who'd doxx their mother fucking selves??
Always will be. Same goes for any content hosting an so on
Blossom might fixe the content hosting
How so? Its just http based file hosting. The "distributedness" is not even part of the spec (currently building my own impl). Even if distributed, hosting providers are on the hook. Always have been always will be.
Yeah but as far as i understand it will be something like torrent 🤔
At the moment no. There are no clients that can act as seeders, only servers who host content. It's possible to break up and distribute pieces across servers but there is no routing network, its just plain http servers. The spec does not have any type of tracker/indexing yet. We have no transport for routing seeing and so on, we'd still be better off using torrents.
I am wondering why then just not integrate torent instead. Or it my not gonna scale?
Good question. Wish I had an answer :P. If I had to guess the same reason torrents are what they are right now. I'm not well educated in the inner workings, so grain of salt. I think blossom has it's toes in a good spot when were talking normie IT hosting space. That is, it plugs right into the existing legacy hosting model (some corporation bares liability and "lightly" censors content to keep them out of jail) has a very simple api, and allows some distribution with replaceable host-names for some amount of distribution. But really I'd say it's ideal for the API and clients. That being said, I have ideas for easily publishing build artifacts from build servers and attaching them to git-tags via nip34 (maybe) and I have no idea how difficult that would be to automate via torrent instead.
