Between inefficient and bad for privacy P2P DHTs and completely centralized or federated models from which you can be banned very easily, there exists a solution that takes the best of both worlds: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr. Basically it works like this: > Everybody runs a client. It can be a native client, a web client, etc. To publish something, you write a post, sign it with your key and send it to multiple relays (servers hosted by someone else, or yourself). To get updates from other people, you ask multiple relays if they know anything about these other people. Anyone can run a relay. A relay is very simple and dumb. It does nothing besides accepting posts from some people and forwarding to others. Relays don't have to be trusted. Signatures are verified on the client side.
