 This paper talks about what happens when top relays fail at the same time among other things that are very interesting regarding Nostr.

TLDR: Top 30 relays may go away and still 95% of the posts are still there. It says Nostr is better than Fediverse in terms of decentralization.

 Wow, a paper written about Nostr! 
 Significa que esta tomando outras proporções ein, muito legal. 
 I never see your notes on Primal unless someone reposts them

 @primal could there be an issue with the caching service? Or I just miss them due to the timezone difference 
 @miljan please fix. 
 Works for me 
 i think it’s just a timezone thing. same for me but i’m on damus

 Written by researchers at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ❤️ 
 Is there merch available? First university researching #Nostr 
 I have merch, I went to the same school 😎

 The paper provides a deep level of research into nostr's resilience and provides some useful ideas for making it even more resilient. It unfortunately doesn't take the outbox model into account, but maybe they can add that next. 

I think this is the first academic paper about nostr, and it's published by researchers at a university where I also studied 🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️ 
 Duuuuude when I saw that it was a arxiv.org link I almost shed a tear 😭 

FIRST OF MANY!!! 
 Well… I can’t speak for everyone. But all my notes are backed up on my own relay. 
Nostr can GFI 
 We need to create the incentives for decentralization: https://habla.news/u/relay@orange-crush.com/1711822674435

This place is subsidized, we need to change that. 
 Relay gang let’s go!
