When I post something to a relay, does it get echoed to every relay in the world?
I'm guessing no because that would be a lot of traffic.
But if it does not echo, then I can never talk to someone that does not share any relays with me. Right?
I want thinking the same thing as you. I thought nostr didn't really fit in the definition of decentralized, federated, mesh, p2p, any of that. But as I was replying to you in support, I realized that if I try to define what decentralization means, why nostr does not fit and try to give an example, I can't. Because it is decentralized

Tbh, I'm not happy with nostr and I think it will fail, so I'm still looking for new stuff
Btw I'm stayin g on nostr because I'm having fun
I think that is a naive way of thinking it.
My grandma was scared of black people and while that does indeed talk about how much of a fool she was, it didn't change the fact that Se was less likely to help black people in need than white people
Or my uncle who was an insurance lawyer and believes that women are genetically worse at driving.
Or a friend who said that if he had a business he wouldn't hide women because they can get pregnant to get paid and do nothing
The point is that while words are just words and you can laugh it off, actions cannot
Nostr supports a lot of different kind of post. You could try using one of those if you are interested. One of them allows posting a job request with how much you will pay
The other day I woke up and read every single nip that is indexed I'm the github (there are a lot of nips but I only read the ones in the "front page") and trust me. Nostr can do a lot of different kinds of things. Basically, when you make a nostr app (with no funds) you can choose to implement a few kinds very well, a bit more kinds good enough, or all of them but none in a usable state. Coracle and amethyst are between class 2 and 3 they can't do everything.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyee0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uqzp978pfzrv6n9xhq5tvenl9e74pklmskh4xw6vxxyp3j8qkke3cezklg6al two questions about calendars:
- why does it let me write a description but then is not displayed?
- why can't I set the time?
Nice argument. Except for the HUGE holes in logic.
When you sell something you do so using the infrastructure set up by you country and that infrastructure needs funding for developing, maintaining and improving. Even the very laws and law enforcement are infrastructure.
Also the people that need infrastructure the most are the ones with the less resources to pay for it. In your proposition, people living in huge cities would say "why would I pay for the roads of the rest of the country, while the rest of the country can't afford to pay for the roads because the lack of roads means less business
You are acting like the government doesn't give you anything because millions of people already paid for your stuff.
The us struggles to get people to vote, and voting is free. Imagine trying to get them to give money to paid for someone else's infrastructure
Law making , law enforcement, public lights, elections, schools, health and safety... Really? Where do you live? Even if you live under a rock, you probably own or rent that rock which give you rights according to the laws and that law has to be enforced and maintained
What. So you say that when you call the cops they should first charge you and then do their job? No. They have to be employed before hand. You HAVE to pay for they jobs so that when you or anyone else needs it, it's there.
Also, let's say you live in a street without public lighting. If you want public lighting would you only pay for the light in front of your house? A single light is not very practical, You can't force your neighbors to pay for theirs, and I guess you probably won't pay for all of them either. The solution? Everyone pays taxes so that the government can build the lights for everyone.
Also I'm not talking about morality. I'm saying that you use things paid for by other but complain when you have to pay thing for others. If they hadn't built your roads, lights and laws, you wouldn't have a penny. That is not morality. If you want to argue that, you have to stop using public infrastructure or you are a hypocrite
I love reading about the zookos triangle solutions. For everyone that says it give them a 404, I was able to see it. Its just that it doesn't have https. You can skip the warning
I'd argue that the best option is that updating a note is done by deleting and sending again as new. Otherwise, clients might say "I already have this note, no need to re download it"
That would be nice. I posted a listing and a few relays failed so I tried again and ended up posting like 4 times. I'd like to delete unnecessary listings
