 Relay hints are a horrible foundation to rely on. Once again, we are just headed in seriously different directions. Good luck to you and your mutable world.

 This. 
 I’m glad there are people out there who get it. 🫡 
 I don't disagree they are a horrible foundation. But you can't say they are NOT working. They work really well. 

There are lots of things on Nostr that don't make any sense. And yet they work. 
 Sure, you can ride a bike with a flat tire for however long you want. Eventually I’m going to get off the bike from being annoyed of the bumpy experience.

I’m not claiming that this imperfect mess doesn’t work sometimes. I’m saying that we must scale it without these fragile foundations.

I’m happy #nostr got started the way it did. But I hope you’re all ready to let go of these fragile foundations and scale to the stars. Looking forward to hearing your responses when we finally release. 🚀 
 BTW, I trully look forward to your proposal. I just hope it's not something that takes too long to code or that just re-centralizes them into another trusted infrastructure. 
 🙏

We’re doing the best we can to make it as simple and modular as possible. It’ll be ready to read before the next nostr conference in Lativa @thenostrworld 

Hope you have time to check out the @HORNETS launch on the 4th of July in the meantime!

We released the Scionic Merkle Trees last year on the 4th of July too. Freedom. 🦅
