Also, no events are stored on any relays, so users are truly sovereign, and this also comes with great privacy advantages. No external observer can know anything, and there’s no collect now decrypt later. The fact that the only things that touch relays are ephemeral events also reduces attack vectors by a lot.\n\nBut in any case, you guys, all of you who claim that cordn is centralized and use that to diminish it, have a point: one coordinator at a time is the only way to ensure things work. But you are about to lose even that point. We are already working on multi coordinator arrangements, so there won’t be any single points of failure. Everyone in a community can run their own coordinator (on their phone if they want) and all of them will ensure that comms can continue even if some are down.\n\nOn the other hand, your argument doesn’t have much value when Concord itself needs special relays to work as expected and mitigate spam, which, from my pov, is a centralization vector.", "source": "nostr", "venue": "Nostr", "date": "2026-09-30", "kind": "comment", "themes": [ "moderation", "security", "decentralization", "praise", "bug" ], "reactions": null }, { "id": "5b5914b7ec02", "text": "I mean, you could stop saying it right now, since it is not.

No changes to the Concord protocol, relays, or wire format are required; the entire feature is a client-side interpretation of Concord's existing chat primitives (CORD-03).\n\n## Motivation\n\nArmada already validated this exact UX pattern, just on a different substrate. Armada v0.37 added Buzz workspace support, and Buzz workspaces include forum channels alongside chat channels: threaded, card-style discussion posts with votes and comments, designed for conversations that shouldn't just scroll away and disappear.

I've been reading through the spec and the Armada codebase, and that part doesn't really hold up. Concord relays need a specific configuration, as far as I can tell.\n\nConcord reverses nip 59. A normal gift wrap has a random one-time author and the real recipient in the p-tag. Concord flips it: the author is a the stream key, and the p-tag is a random ephemeral key. Members read by the author, not by the p-tag. So it breaks on any relay doing the nip 59 \"correct\" thing, because nip 59 says relays SHOULD only serve kind 1059 to the marked recipient, and here nobody is the marked recipient. The spec admits it outright: \"Communities must choose relays accordingly.\"\n\nAlso, if someone uses relays that prune or just nuke their db, that breaks the whole authority layer (roles, bans, channels all ride on 1059), and deletion gets messy because every wrap is authored by the same shared stream key that every member holds: on generic relays that honor author-based deletion, anyone can delete any message, or all of them, just by sending deletion requests, which from my POV is a huge hole.\n\nIn practice Armada runs on two default …", "source": "nostr", "venue": "Nostr", "date": "2026-07-20", "kind": "comment", "themes": [ "voice", "roles", "moderation", "decentralization" ], "reactions": null }, { "id": "f2f065e93f4e", "text": "Does it allow for channels where only specific roles can write but others can read?
