I believe there will be a nostr 2 where we make sane fucking choices for signing like Ed25519, and add crap to the base protocol that will eventually be desperately needed but not possible without breaking shit

or a partial hard fork with a new event version

quoting note1tdx…effv

why the fuck did we fucking pick secp256k1 for nostr, unperformant as shit, just because bitcoin? for fucks sake we have had ed25519 for ages why the fuck do you pick a slower ass curve that is way more obscure

and also why the fuck are all the nostr libraries unoptimized as hell, eating gigabytes of memory when trying to parse a decently sized event file line by line
and the APIs are shit

good fucking night
