 Nostr has too many NIPs. It’s time to seriously consider if this is the right path.

#nostrdev #nostr 
 Maybe you should organize a meeting, a conference for devs focusing mainly on the cleaning the protocol. Any idea? 
 The idea is good, but I think I’m not the right person 🤓 
 So ask the #devs I think they are open to organize it (hope the place will not be Antarctica). 
 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 
 No. This would leave out many people who can't travel. And it would lead to further concentrating "influence" over what it supposed to be an open protocol.  
 It doesn't have to be face-to-face, it could be a truly open online discussion forum. 
 Yes, but... That's still easy for a very few to bully newer people into silence. Which has already happened.  
 We must reach 69420 NIPs, then Nostr ascends to greatness. 
 Where we at as of now? 69 🤣🤣🤣 
 Yep 🤓 
 🤣🤣🤣🤣 
 Trust the science.

I say #GFY if you don’t like my NIP

 No there can never be enough 
 Where is the Nests NIP, sir? 
 I kinda wanna ditch the centralized services though. It seems doable to do streaming in a decentralized way.. 
 Audio chat rooms in a decentralized way? How? 
 I was talking about the live video streams, live audio is harder  
 Centralized planning to finally incentivize and complete the global multicast Internet? 
 Sorry, that was snarky. Bittorrent has a streaming mode, so maybe there's a way to build on that. 
 What do you want instead? Conflicting specs with no interoperability? 
 I think it could be similar to when IEEE/ISO delegates discuss the RFCs. So only the invited people can connect to the event.
Or - more closer - BIP discussions (i think it will not lead to soft/hard fork :-) ).
 
 It’s not really a critique—based on my own experience, after a few years, any project benefits from introspection to reassess whether its structure is sustainable over time.

Without referencing any specific NIP, as my goal isn’t to offer unwarranted criticism, I believe that some could be considered non-essential and lack practical use.

I think this is a healthy debate. 
 a nip 4 every 2 tits 
 Can someone post a link to the NIP list?
