Currently we're using a fixed set of relays in bitchat which is only a temporary solution. We could let users edit their own relays but 1) users don't know what relays are and 2) if users have no overlapping relays they can't talk to each other. Here's a solution that we came up with. I'd like to know your thoughts. We're going to crawl a long list of relay URLs every 24 hours. This list will also include their estimated geo locations, also updated every 24 hours. This could be done in an automated GitHub runner. That list of URLs plus their geo locations will be embedded and shipped with the bitchat app. Users who join a geohash channel will use the five closest relays based on the geohash location of interest.This solves multiple problems at once: 1) relay centralization 2) privacy 3) speed 4) maybe censorship resistance? What do you think?

i see many WoT relays in the list. i don't think those are a good idea to include as new / emphemeral users can't write to them.

Don't delay outbox. You will regret it later.

Elaborate?

The architectural design and the caching system will change so much that the more you delay the more you will have to rewrite later on.
