no but seriously, geyser was important in my life around a year ago, and if you go back to their history of grants the first round my indranet project won the first "second prize" from it (just ask metamick (npub13v9…3rka) he and i have had much dealings) and i bumbled onto that via the #dvadesetjedan group that i found from twitter, on discord, they pointed me to geyser
i hope some day i will be able to advance the indranet concept, really, it's just the execution of a network transport built on top of the source routed onion TLVs used by lightning
i kinda gave up on it not just because i ran out of funding but because of the complexity of network intelligence (p2p discovery) as i'd taken a shortcut to use libp2p but realised that it introduced a scaling limit
ok, maybe that limit wasn't that big a deal, especially if it was just like bittorrent's mainline DHT, but it's not, libp2p puts you basically on the backbone of the same network routing protocol as IPFS which also has the scaling problem
something me and my sponsor were getting excited about was building a p2p mesh that didn't require nodes to have a full network inventory in order to function, so that clients could send messages and relays didn't have to know who they were forwarding to, necessarily, this is a critical scaling feature and is also why bitcoin has over 20k replicas, which is far more than libp2p/ipfs could ever handle
it was in the realisation of this problem that i was near the end of my sponsorship and i started getting sick
