 Are you saying you want me to address that question in a video?  Or just give my opinion here on nostr?

I think what I call a "client proxy" is a reasonable architectural component that keeps clients from contacting strange untrusted relays, so long as (1) the client can totally trust the client proxy, and (2) you don't care if the client proxy's IP address is leaked.  But it is hard for both of those things to be true.

If only people weren't so embarrassed about losing their bitcoin keys in so many consecutive tragic boating accidents then they wouldn't be so concerned about maintaining their privacy  (I know Edward Snowden says different, I don't really mean what I'm typing, I'm just trying to be funny)
