If I have a list of relays that each have setting on whether to post/fetch/search, why do we suddenly need an inbox, and outbox, a DM relay, a search relay and so forth? Why can't the software just use the existing list?
Because they dont do the same thing. If you want privacy, you want to use the DM relay list, otherwise all of your DM travel through public relays.
Each section has its own benefits. The old main list is a dumb way of using nostr.
That definitely needs more explanation.
Also the low numbers of relays that are sugested.
The LN and networks in general are clearly scaling better with more nodes.
So such things need a wider and appropriate research article, to test and explain why all the sudden basic network facts do not apply in a specific network.
I just did an update froman VERY old version. It was not too difficult to fill my list with defaults but why do I need to do such a complex thing in order for it to work at all?
I'd prefer to do it the dumb way over have it broken.
I'm not even sure anyone can read me.
Hi Sattler, I can read you. Is Waldorf doing well?
Thanks, it doesn't seem as bad as it look first.
I'm not sure, haven't seen him in a while.
Guess he's still trapped in the fiat system.
I can see you've been on here for a while. It's definitely improved since you first joined, I agree that the different relays are confusing.
