Signal app servers perform three functions.
One, they are the source of truth for your identity in the system. Dangerous point of control.
Second, since the signal protocol isn’t efficient at all for groups, they have to do the re-encrypting and fan out to all group participants. This is heavy work.
Third, they process all media. We’ll leave that aside though since we’re going to put that on blossom servers that will almost certainly need to find a business model.

Interesting point.

Whats the solution on white noise : your protocol, and who handles and pays for this compute? Client, relay, or both?

Very interesting. Maybe users are willing to pay for image hosting, this is a perk of being a paid supporter, and this is how blossom servers make ends meet 🤔
