Tbh I think most of this improvement is from #[3] ’s fantastic nostr-rs-relay improvements, as well as Anigma stopping their accidental DDOS attack with kind 70202 events.
DDoS attack was just a test to prepare you
lol, we’re not prepared for a real attack. We should definetly look at rate limiting or something similar. Would be nice to be able to whitelist certain event kinds too.
DDoSing on nostr is inevitable, but hopefully it will make us stronger, and deploying relays as easy as download+install. If they can be that easy, I think we will win. Also, if relays enforced perhaps lightning network micropayments, that would deter DDoS.
