 You don't need a PhD to build on Nostr. That's fucking beautiful.

 Faulked I’m knot 🤣 
 FWIW - I tried to attend a Kademila conference at Stanford but they would not let me into their "closed door" meeting because I was not part of academia anymore. 

Anytime you have a "Closed door" group working on decentralized public good protocols, its really sus and contradictory. 
 Bittorrent DHT used in pubky : https://github.com/pubky/mainline

if you say there its right here on the github 
 Yes pubky uses Mainline in the same way Nostr uses ICANN rott DNS server.

That is not p2p swarming etc, this is just a better DNS, the rest is HTTP

And Holepunch team do NOT maintain any of this, Mainline DHT has 10s if not 100s of implementations  
 Even though we do have PhDs 🤣 
 Not me. I dropped out 🥹 
 @calle 👁️⚡👁️ comes to mind 
 Nice. I didn't know that. But I'm also not surprised either. Dude is fucking intelligent. 
 Practically a walking brain 🧠
