What if your image host goes down/censors your images? This idea was spurred by seeing beeple getting censored on instagram and people proposing Nostr as an alternative. Nostr isn’t really much of an alternative if the image hosting is not decentralized along with the Nostr note that links to it.

Agree the same solution Nostr applies for text notes is not the right technical fit for large images that can’t be as freely duplicated across relays.

Just wondering if some of the properties that Nostr uses to maintain decentralization can be applied to images in some way (proving authorship with signatures, unique ids that can be used to link to notes independent of relay urls)
