What is the Nostr Outbox Model? #HOWDONOSTR
The Nostr Outbox Model (NIP-65) allows users to define which relays they want to use for sending notes directly within their profile, improving efficiency and relay management. By declaring this in a special event kind via their profile relay settings, users set preferences on where their events should be sent. This reduces user confusion and fuels decentralization.
The simplest take away here is that users no longer need to have a shared common relay between them to communicate. Clients handle all of the heavy lifting for them. This change simplifies both the client experience and relay coordination, aligning with decentralized social networking principles.
With the Outbox Model, users can use a variety of small and community relays, and still communicate with one another.
What does this look like and how does this work in practice? https://how-nostr-works.pages.dev/#/outbox
