hey! for some reason i can't get a Signal account with a Vietnamese number. i haven't had time to catch up with that yet
your approach is interesting, to find a way to vouch for relays and a public way to access them based on performance parameters such us latency or availability, geographic area, reliability, spam detection and so on, and query them through a service like purplepag.es would be great. i think that's not my line of work, but probably ManiMe (nprofile…0j5w) could think of something
what i am focusing now is on how to achieve Nostr's original promise: "shift the paradigm of dumb client/smart server to smart client/dumb server", or rather "smart client & smart server"
i have the intuition that we can use our WoT as infrastructure to store and retrieve information, rather than using only relays. Nostr exploration has given us tools and space to understand what works and what not, and i've come to realize that what we thought was fixed and objective, can be dynamic and subjective, just like life itself
relays are amazing as a boostrapping mechanism, discovery, specialized services, curated content, connect to other peers when no other available method, but, users SHOULD define what they want to see or not, and that information shouldn't be public, should be private. what i consume or not by no means should be of common knowledge or arbitrarily served. gatekeeping and surveillance surface can be reduced
i've written a whitepaper that introduces a decentralized trust-weighted storage and retrieval system that can be built alongside Nostr and work in parallel to relays. i'd appreciate your honest feedback: https://github.com/gozzip-protocol/gozzip
