Pkarr was suggested to Nostr people probably a year ago or so. We have been working on our vision for the web since before Nostr existed, and we created Pubky to be what we think is the best design. So why should we retrofit it to Nostr conventions and make it worse again? Why should we be spending 2 years lobbying people to do make fundamental changes they do not want ro make? You see this all thru a lens of Nostr but it just isnt our world really. Its like asking us to make it more like Mastodon or Hypercore, no, we made it this way in purpose and we have great reasons for it. Regarding DHT scale, it used for dns records, and it is very fast and larger than any other decentralized network, so it is weird to be casting doubt from beneath its shadow, no? Yes, all networks hit scaling challenges, but this is why we designed Pubky to put the user in control, to allow for central service in a safer way. Why do you think we are claiming something prior to our own brand? We literally list every single alternative in the post as well as explain exactly what we do differently and how we use Mainline. We are just another group of people with our own ideas about how to fix the web, we dont really owe nostr anything, but we are happy to engage with interested users and devs. It is what it is.
