After 12 days in operation my Nostream relay keeps going off charts. So far an estimate of 50'000 sats/month to run. Uptime 100%. Nostriches connecting. Notes being relayed. Pure joy to witness.

It’s going up forever, Laura
Which relay are you running?

🫡 to Cameri for this, allows us non-tech to run one easily

First zap to you sir.
LFG Vitor
Amazing.
Less than 1GB of memory usage makes it a lot less resource intensive than I thought.
What are the your server specs?
No server. This can be run on desktop via Railway servers. There is trust involved but these are notes, the idea i believe is to allow everyone to run one.
Devs keeping noobs in mind have my highest regards, as adoption is what matters :)

VPS or own custody hw?
No idea! 😂 Shadowy Super Noob here 👋🏻 i would assume VPS provided by Railway, i don't have a separate hw to run this. Just a good ol' mac

no need dedicated box - just saying 2 main ways to run various nodes - own physical possession hardware and cloud/vps/rental remote thats all - both are needed - but physical hw makes chain network stronger. https://twitter.com/jamesxv_t/status/1418504990239313923
I run my own BTC and LN nodes on my own hw but please explain how this relates to Nostr relay? 🤔

Cool - u can just add #tor #nostr both into the same hw - limit cpu n bandwidth (if overload in issue) thats it post some links later ! in fact any newbiew can do on old pc/laptop $50 used 10yrold PC or $500 Pi box upto users choice hobby preference
