Ah ok. So you mean like for PSBTs? Or even just NWC or CLINK?

Sure. Anything. That's the point. Not because it is a good protocol, but because it is a known protocol.

After all, we still use http. Lol

I was really interested in using nostr relays for WebRTC signaling; maybe I'll look into that again now that I have time.

But I guess that would require specific support by the relay, so it would only work with nostr relays that support it, so not sure if it makes sense to build something like WebRTC on top of nostr instead of just using WebRTC ...

I cannot tell if it makes sense - I'm not into webrtc. What are you trying to solve? Discovery?

Copy-pasting between my laptop and my phone, hahaha

No, jk, it just sounded interesting to establish "true" p2p connections, where the relay can go offline after the session was established. I didn't have a specific use-case in mind.

It'd totally be relevant for nostrfans

Just brand it unclefans first and then make the generic thing a spinoff. Guaranteed success.
