sounds to me like he's exhausted three years of work he put in to this direction, now everything moves in a hash direction and, and if we're being honest to get any sort of hash-based decentralised transcoding system working for users protocol wide (or anything even near protocol wide) is another two or three years. building on nostr is fast. propagation on nostr is incredibly slow.

At least make the implementation before the nip. This is why I don't believe in nips.
