The spec doesn't say relays SHALL NOT talk to each other. YOU made that up. It says they don't talk to each other but it is not prevented.

You can mirror one relay to another easily:

echo '["REQ", "mirror" ,{}]' | websocat wss://source | jq -del '.[1]' | websocat wss://dest

> It says they don't talk to each other but it is not prevented

No protocol can prevent a piece of software from doing whatever they want.

The "shall not" is not absolute: the spec assumes and expects relays not to talk to each other. Nothing prevents you from creating a relay that connects to another relay, of course, but that would not be in the spirit of what Nostr is trying to achieve.

We do have borderless payments and the technology is here. You argue facts with feelings. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t there!

My point is precisely that we do have the technology, so I don't know what you're trying to say.

Could you stop? I’m surprised you aren’t banned

I've been in it for months! I kind of want everything to be rebuilt on top of Nostr. It's not meant to solve every problem, and some things that people say it must have are really "good to have", proof of that is that people are using it without any of that being available.

And it's gone now.

Thanks Twitter Support for including Nostr!

Why isn't he and his girlfriend behind bars already?

The Feds don't arrest you until they have a case fully prepared that they're 99.99% sure will get a conviction.

If you’re prosecuting this guy, all these interviews he’s doing are PURE GOLD, why would you want him to stop?!

He’s the second largest contributor to the democratic party this year

He was smarter than that. He claims he gave just as much money to Republicans. He just used dark money for Republicans because he thought it would look better.

ProtonMail does this a lot on mobile. It's so infuriating.

Check out more-speech (a Nostr client) being built by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob).

Maybe years ago but now Websockets are dead simple to use in virtually every language. Heck you can even pipe to a websocket server using websocat using the shell.
