some more thoughts inspired by another comment
Nostr network is build by clients and relays.
At the moment most relays store a lot of data and use DNS.
I think DHT is really good solution for the relays.
Big relays can use both routing networks.
But local solutions like desktop/mobile client and small relay/cache togerher can benefit a lot from DHT from the decentralization point of view.
I use Gossip dektop Nostr client because I don't want to share my nsec with web services.
I now use public relays but if I build one as a proxy I won't need the public ones. And Gossip already caches/ stores locally notes.
So everything is there, the infrastructure works, only Nostr relays can benefit from more decentralized routing and that can also bring standalone local clients similar to torrent clients that store locally certain amount of notes/data.
And the current Nostr stack will continue to work as it is. Its just a good enhancement to it.
