Of course, relying on DNS is a perfect way to scale.. the question is do you want to use ICANN as the root server, or millions of nodes in an overlay network that has been actually winning censorship fights for more than a decade.
Fiatjaf keeps insisting that DHTs don't work regardless of how many proofs I show him. He also would rather make up a bespoke tiny DHT than use Mainline because he thinks breaking compat with secp would kill Nostr.
I can't say it won't.
But if you can support nip5... you can support Pkarr. Or don't I am in this for the system design conversation, more than any desire to change how any existing systems or products work.
