No, the key you use to identify users has consequences, because when it is secp you are stuck with this daisy chain discovery that has no proof that it can work at scale with enough reliability and performance.

If you identify your friends as ed25519 keys, then you can get the DHT's performance and reliability, and then you can put a secp key in your records and use that to sign Nostr events you put on relay to use as one of your outreach methods, but you don't get stuck to how Nostr handles what DNS solved since the web started.

On the other hand, if you identify your friends ad ed25519 keys... you don't have to inherent ANY of the architectural choices that yours truly makes for storing data or otherwise.
