i’m hosting #[0] tomorrow to learn all about operating relays (and particularly about paid relays!).
what should i ask him? what do you want to know?
Discussion
Everything
Will some one please do a recap of the event ? I am unable o make it 🥲
We’re recording a video/pod, but not live-streaming so you can catch the recap on the Youtube Channel:
🔥
How will relays evolve from here?
How will relay operators be able to operate in a way where they don’t loose sats in total for hosting?
What are some other uses of nostr that the mainstream are not talking about?
What is Cameri’s view on the future of nostr?
Should relay operators communicate the “governance principles” of the relays they operate?
are you thinking about certain principles you’d like relay operators to consider as standard disclosures?
How is he managing to release a version everyday while on Nostr posting note and responding to?
I know, right? prolific! We’ll try to work something in here
Ask him about how client developers should think about batching queries vs a bit less but single filters. What else should client developers know to work well with relays? What is more scsrce resource? Bandwidth or SSD access?
Oh this, is good… generally “as an experienced relay developer/operator what’s your advice to client developers”? 🤙
What privacy concerns (what can a relay see from users connections and posts? IP address etc.)?
How long are relays keeping notes (weeks, months, forever?)
Do Relay's talk/sync with other relays?
Spam
If someone wanted to host their own private relay for backup where are some good resources for the technically adept (well, somewhat adept)?
Any storage and bandwidth stats. Would be super interesting.
With the network growth, how are operating costs holding up? Will we need monthly subscriptions to relays to keep things going in the future?
Great questions, thanks for sharing… I’ve added them all to my list! 🤙
I’m based in Tanzania. How would it benefit us having more relays here? Or does it not matter? 🇹🇿⚡️✊🏾
Impact of geographic location of relays is a good one, thanks! 🙏
1. ratio of reads to writes
2. breakdown of costs of running a relay
3. how he views adding more functionality (search/counts) to his relay
4. does he purge events or have plans to purge events
5. what would make running a relay easier
There was a discussion yesterday about Iran and their internet suppression. See #[3] posting and discussion. How does he see a relay / Nostr fit into making that type of censorship impossible?
