I'm just always trying to think about how we can construct Nostr to be slightly-more private over HTTP.
Natively, I mean, rather than using VPN or Tor, as most people aren't using them and won't use them.
The idea of gift wraps is nice for DMs. But not suitable for public speak.
A botnet would help.
You mean, have bots that forward your notes?
micropayments and short lived micro accounts and all relays are pay to write, which is also pay to proxy
the hard problem i bumped into is discovering the network and relays not needing to know what lives at the address the relaying message asks it to be sent to
this is why Tor and IPFS are both limited to around 8k nodes whereas bitcoin has over 20k
Didn‘t I see some nostr people talk about ham radios? They could meshnet and you would only see the exit on IP. But the meshnet routing would be unsolved.
Maybe we should buy an IP mixing satellite relay in space (or the international seas)
Can I rent servers for cash or Bitcoin somewhere? Short-timed?
Final thought: yeah, onion routing
