 nostr needs a consensus algorithm. this is it.

without the facility to replicate media other than text notes and without the ability of relays to be able to gather all content associated with a given key, this will be arrogated by silo operators who will market themselves as nostr but be only superficially decentralised, and just as distributed and controlled as Facebook, X and all the rest.
