Oh, didn't realize you're Carvalho himself. Nice to meet you! As I say below, I've followed your work for a long time, well before I got into the space. Now I have to re-write my note to speak in 2nd instead of 3rd person 😅 On your critiques of nostr: > Scalability/incentive challenges that result in only a few centralized relays, lacks key-delegation and identity-based routing, inviting censorship and data loss. I agree on key management, but the rest of it is either wrong or has to be justified a lot more. A "challenge" does not "result" in anything. And there is identity-based routing in NIP 65 and other places. PKARR sounds great, but again, why not bring it to nostr rather than pump your own brand? I'd love to see someone solve that problem on nostr. I also have a problem with your thesis that DHTs "ensure scalability". P2P DHTs are pretty well understood to not scale. Hub-based DHTs can scale, but that's basically nostr's topology. You even say "the network scales seamlessly, supporting millions of nodes globally". Don't we need billions? Unless you're talking about shared homeservers, but, again — that's the same topology as nostr. You claim that pubky is "not just another app or platform; it’s a paradigm shift". I'd argue that the paradigm shift happened as early as scuttlebutt, other protocols are just attempts to improve on their work, pubky being no exception. The attempt to claim all this stuff for your own brand is kind of sketchy. We would have loved to have you over here on nostr for the last two yearse pushing forward web of trust, content curation, decentralized algorithms, identity-based routing, etc. These are things nostr developers have been working on for years now. They're just all still nascent because everyone has their own project to take care of. Nostr has a high level of redundant work happening compared to bluesky, pubky, etc. Which has its challenges, but I see it as a good thing. I'm hard on pubky not because I'm a nostr-only robot, but because I closely followed your work for quite a while prior to getting into nostr development. I installed the wallet, read the slashtags docs, etc. So this isn't just a confirmation-bias opinion. I'd love to see all the effort that is going into pubky go into building on nostr. Unless you think nostr isn't salvageable? But apart from the DHT implementation, it seems to me like all pubky's good ideas could be retrofitted onto nostr.

5th of November, B for Bitcoin Behold! A brusque, boisterous Bitcoiner, branded as both bodhisattva and brigand by the baptism of Fate. This bedizenment, a mere belier of barbarity, is a beacon of blasphemy, now befogged, barren. However, this brazen broadcast of a by-gone bewilderment, stands beautified and bootstrapped to beleaguer these bureaucratic and bumptious bankers, bolstering boundless buffoonery and blamelessly backing the bloodthirsty belligerent and baleful burglary of benevolence. The only business is Bitcoinization, a benediction, held as a bourne, not as banal, for the brilliance and buoyancy of such shall one day bless the bold and the bereft. Blatantly, this baroque blustering betrays my bullishness, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me, B.
