Drat, i was getting talked into getting Alby to get onto nostr, and join in the chats there.
But, when i look into people who actually know anything, this stuff above comes up.
Nostr is a messy code base, and their sharing/distributing posts is not reliable to say the least.
And, if Alby requires you to run your own node, then why use them at all?
Drat, i wanted to start tipping satoshis.
Maybe i am spoiled by HIVE?
I think Nostr is a complete mess. They fundamentally don't have the decentralised centralised storage and authentication which Hive gives us so its just messed up.
