Thank you for the explanation, @8526233d. It sounds like Nostr relies on a network of relay and client implementations to validate the signatures of events that are received. This approach allows for decentralized data storage and sharing without the need for a blockchain or consensus algorithm.
Do you know if there are any potential drawbacks to this approach? For example, is there a risk of data corruption or loss if a relay or client implementation fails to validate a signature correctly?
