Oddbean new post about login | logout But it’s the difference between a distributed and decentralised network. Distributed is P2P and it has even more trade offs than decentralised networks. There are no free lunches
Then we will navigate those trade-offs and let users choose what they prefer. :)
I’m open to being convinced but what do we need this for? Is it just private DMs?
Private DMs, Private DM Attachments, private Zaps, and private reactions on top of Voice and Video calls.
Have you written out the architecture anywhere yet? Would love to dive in and understand
No, I am just testing things out for now. WebRtc seems to work, but I want to get rid of these servers they use for signaling and use giftWrapped msgs in Nostr for that. I'm might have multiple layers. Bluetooth, WIFI for those physically close to one another and some version of WebRtc for the rest.
nostr is already distributed and not p2p except for relays trade offs are being worked on, we also have more compute and network resoirces than ever

Nostr isn’t distributed. Here’s the difference https://www.hivenet.com/post/decentralized-or-distributed-whats-the-big-difference
then you either dont understand nostr or distributed i am not going to bother with that silly article btw tho it likely agrees with me https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/distribute 'To distribute is to disperse widely, hand out, or spread around' how are nostr notes distributed? how can nostr notes be distributed? are nostr notes on a wide variety of servers? are nostr notes handed out widely to relays? can i put nostr notes on a usb stick and give them to a friend? can that friend send those notes from that usb stick to a relay? can 500 other relays download those notes from that relay? can 1million people download those notes from those relays? how is nostr distributed?
data is very cheap especially on local networks, the lunch is cheap
