nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft I love what you're doing with relay sets. I think everyone should be able to run and manage a relay with just a few clicks. This will open the gates for 🫂 nostring in the future. Happy to see that relays are on your radar! 💯🤙

creating a relay in <60 seconds! 🔥 you can try it if you want, it's in demo mode on nostr1.com (only 21 sats)
you wouldn't believe how long I've been working on this.. lmao, it's rediculous.

Whoa, nostr1 is amazing! Checking it out, thank you!
making relays first-class citizens is absolutely on my radar because that will open up a bunch of new uses of nostr
we're using nostr as if it were a client-server architecture, but it's not. We're missing out on a bunch of innovation because we're not thinking in the right terms/allowing for relay balkanization
💯
I don't run a relay but I know it is the way.
1st class relays would give relays a chance to differentiate themselves, and open up better ways for relay operators to keep the lights on through value-add.
Would the concept of client side relays make sense for some use cases?
I'm mostly thinking P2P DM's, but maybe there'd be others (but keeping in mind that most clients won't want the bandwidth costs of running a 100% public relay).
I guess nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s's new LMDB-backed database for events would be a nice building block for this...
To clarify, I mean that each Amethyst or Damus installation would set up a local personal relay for the user.
I think it would be a great idea, the only thing is you'd still need a server somewhere if you wanted anyone else to be able to connect because of being behind a network firewall. There is server software that exists that could make this doable, but you're still stuck with *someone running an extra server to negotiate the p2p connection for you.
Without this, only you could connect so it would only be useful as a backup server for your own notes.
yea, relay be first-class citizens is really the key.
