Does it suggest that text-messaging should perhaps be the focus? I&#39;m amazed that video/audio is possible, but it incurs much more massive requirements - it seems that the video/audio service is constraining the possible infra choices for the text-message service. 2025-10-27T11:57:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf2ufrx966dz2sw5h703ryny84vkapjtl7t9ymy64202kp3rdu5yqzyp0grjmc03gt4ten88cfh9k2exhus9lxrgynppww59qwypshznd2xlqeg2f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvusvadgkxc6rxth2vuwe29t7rv78c4vm5r92k5n0dhrg97g0upss6042rk'>nevent1q…42rk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I remember getting confused about whether the stacks were somewhere in the addressable space, and why all these devices were there in the addressable space.
