Hmmmm. Lightning + AWS + github. How is that really related to Nostr? Or what is being done differently there because of Nostr? I assume once the image is uploaded you could paste in the src url on any web page and it would work, not just Nostr. Clicking on the button, they want to charge me 100 sats for an image upload, 0,02 USD. Maybe that works, but do they make money or lose it when X goes viral and that image gets called 2 million times in 24 hours becuase whoever it is hotlinks them on reddit, the front page of CNN, Twitter and Nostr all at the same time? Maybe image hosting gets done by whoever sets up the relays, or groups of relays, but then we are already organising and grouping again, not decentralising in a redundant, goverment-proof, full-free-speech manner. Hosting media files is not an easy problem to solve for redudant distributed. Maybe what we were saying the other day about one upload to several different hosts that can be switched by user/client as fail-safes or alternatives, but who ends up owning the several hosts? And are they all just fronts for S3 on AWS? Regarding bitcoin node comparison, isn't the whole of bitcoin really quite small (Google says 435 GB for the whole blockchain)...? With 1TB hardrives, that's doable for tens of millions of nodes with complete copies of the whole thing in homes around the world. Governments will never be able to get at it becuase there will always be complete copies somewhere. How big is the whole of Nostr (the text messages) already? But once you start doing media files, dude, I can record 500GB of documetary footage and photos and audio in an afternoon for you. And nowadays everybody has smartphones that can do large 4K videos everytime they go to the beach or the bar with a nice girl....
