 this is just a classic example of how broken nostr clients are

i have no problem finding this event, EASILY by just grepping the output of my relay export

probably if i just string some greps together i can find it... 
 i'm just exporting the entire db, running it through a two greps to find my npub and that post i'm replying to... maybe it will eventually find it... 120mb/s lol damn

i'm just not sure why these clients don't find this shit, i write queries in the database and all that shit and pop in seconds 
 grep flagged a match on "binary" data so idk, this is another hint that there is something wrong with the binary codec

i'm going to write some tests... i have a motherlode of events that i know at least some dozens or hundreds of these don't encode/decode correctly, i can just write a simple test that you feed this file to it and it spits out the ones that don't get through the encode/decode cycle
