   One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. ( https://ens.domains ) I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.

   DNS is centrally controlled by ICANN. There are alternatives like ENS. I don't mind Nostr just simply having its own system.

   I dug into Nostr this week. IMHO, these are some of my engineering concerns. - User accounts are tightly coupled to a single key. There's currently no account abstraction. - Nostr is tightly coupled to a specific crypto primitive and

    I've not heard the term "probabilistic tree" and I've having difficulty pulling up references. I suspect it's implemented by subpackage ptree[0]. Could you explain what makes probabilistic trees different from has

    My comment was somewhat of a critic of the terse headline. Adding a small amount of information to the cryptic headline removes a lot of perceived mystery. Your statement answers the question, "why is long distance transmission price
