THIS NOTE IS ONLY INITIALLY BEING PUBLISHED TO MY PERSONAL RELAY. NOSTRICHES WILL FIND IT AND SPREAD IT AROUND THE NETWORK. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. WHY? THIS IS HOW WE BEAT CENSORSHIP. THIS IS HOW WE WIN. DECENTRALIZATION POWERED BY THE OUTBOX MODEL.

Does this only work if you are already popular and people already follow your own personal relay?
Asking a question here.
Wouldn't it work, if you had only your private relay, but the message was important/popular and you posted it somewhere people would notice? Like another big profile?
This note is bothering me because the spreading around part is not the outbox model - it’s actually the opposite. It’s the “old school” broadcast model.
Outbox would be everyone reading it just from your relay, not rebroadcasting it all over the place…
But that's what happened though. Outbox users found it and interacted with it spreading it around via the old broadcast method.
Right - but it’s back to the same Fiatjaf experiment of months ago.
If the users didn’t rebroadcast it to large relays your reach would’ve been drastically impacted. Scaling via outbox requires the reach to happen without the rebroadcasting (so that all relays don’t end up storing all the same notes) so this feels like celebrating a fake win.
I understand and agree with you. I also know that only a few clients support outbox at this time. We need more of this.
Is there documentation for clients to support the outbox model?
Kind of. There are specs and there are blog posts and there are also existing implementations to review - but there isn’t a one size fits all solution, its more of a concept.

Thank you very much for this
still getting a lady off the land.
so this is why I'd want to run a nostr relay on my umbrel? my note's visibility is affected by the quality of my relays?
Here's your note encoded in a QR code, so you can print it and send by fax machine.
Sweet. I saw that @npub1ejvh...6q8x was giving away sats for faxes. Thanks @npub1g53m...drvk 🫂
It’s letting me call your note via iOS!!
Good ol' fax.
WTF 😂😂
I like this. Screw the outbox model, the broadcast model, and relay. Go straight to p2p!
Fax machine... sounds like Germany 😂
hahah I miss faxes
YES!
Can you stop yelling pls
🎯
Cool
Should use others things like monetized relays
I have to figure out how that all works.
Brilliant way to demonstrate this Derek
Our CEO strikes again!
Okay I’m back 🤣🤣🤣
What is the mechanism that makes the note to spread to other relays? Is the readers who repost it to other relays?
Nice.
The power of Nostr
