> nostr is stateless it’s just a streaming protocol for messages

I've brainstormed ways to solve this on top of Nostr. Perhaps I could write a program that downloads all of the history of Nostr (or perhaps just the users I'm interested in?) and then my server would sign when I received the messages and create order out of that.

Then if I get a message that claims to be from the past at some point in the future, I'd instantly be able to see that. I'd also be able to periodically ping relays and see what messages that are no longer being relayed and I'd have some curiosity about why that is happening.

I just kind of wish this was baked into the protocol. But I sailed here from the Scuttleverse. I'm open to ideas about how to do this well.
