Consume relay hints NIP-19

Problem Statement

Sometimes I cannot see a note referenced in a thread by someone I follow.
Sometimes I cannot find a profile.

Enhancement Proposal

@tyiu

I think Damus needs to have more fine-grained relay control and sharing. Instead of sharing raw identifiers, we should be using the shareable ones with extra metadata, like most likely relay to be found. There’s a huge gossip model unlock that is at the core ethos of Nostr that we’re not utilizing

NDK (Highlighter etc), Snort, Coracle, Gossip, ZBD Social, njump are somethat I know [implement relay hints NIP]

We will be able to do it with nostrdb when we verify everything and start pulling from random relays.

@jb55 are you planning on working this one?

@danieldaquino @jb55 this will improve the user experience for all Damus users.

I run into notes not loading a few times each day. Others have confirmed a similar experience.

Let's consider for next sprint.

requires gossip model implementation

[alltheseas]

this will improve the damus experience for all, and also improve interoperability with non damus users. i will tentatively add to 1.0 + backlog for the next sprint
