how long are ephemeral events stored on nostr relays? fixed time or until it's requested once?
Discussion
I think you should just use my entire canon of written works as a prompt for an AI vlog and watch what happens
Some relays only pass them along to existing subscriptions. Others store in memory for about 1 minute or so.
Strfry is 5 mins which I think is the longest
In the docs
# Ephemeral events will be deleted from the DB when older than this
ephemeralEventsLifetimeSeconds = 300
The nip defines them such that they don't get stored at all. Only delivered to connected clients that want them.
10 minutes by default on strfry. You can change it to whatever.
this is more of a hack, it shouldn’t store it at all
Just drop it if the relay restarts?
its an ephemeral event, the spec says it should not be stored.
What does "store" mean? Why does the spec care?
