Imagine if every single one of us nympubs ran our own relay, nostr will become unstoppable.

Running a relay is one thing. but you need to broadcast your relay to other relays otherwise running your own relay is kinda gay

Yea.. the whole process would need to be made easier.

I didn't know I was kinda gay πŸ˜‚

How do you broadcast your relay?

Depends...... say you write everything to only your relay, you can add other relays to your nostr client and click Broadcast to send posts out.

I run the strfry software and I have strfry also act as a router to sync my relay with the major relays. This way, I only need to connect to my relay which is spam free and notes will sync to other relays. It acts like a super relay basically.

Interesting, I found that different clients interact with my relays in different ways.

Also, my own relay nortis.nostr1.com doesn't receive all my notes despite it being listed in every client.

I spent some time configuring Amethyst with the full relay config, but not sure that translates much to other clients.

I'm still not deep enough into relays 😱

That would be a worthy goal.

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx would prob agree n say

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

πŸ«‚πŸ«‘

*sigh*

How about If I pay someone for now to run my relay to BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

There you go. Say what you really want. Good job πŸ‘

That's why I use Monero daily.

You can, at nostr1.com

Would basically become Keet with extra steps 😬

But I think Keet's Pear protocol stack will eventually wind up running under/along side NOSTR relays.

Nice. The goal is much closer than we really know.

Orbot is something to do with tor routing? And what is Citrine?

Relay run in your phone.

The Orbit (tor) part is fantastic but added quite a bit of lag to the process.

https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

Orbot is an Android app (and thus also Chromebook) that makes a Tor connection into a VPN for your Android device

Basically you can take any app and route it through Tor by using Orbot

This is my hope for nostr and I'm still loud about how relays, being such a simple and a dumb thing but they are incredible difficult to set up and running properly for the majority of plebs around here.

Relays should be easy for normies. Plug/Install and relay style.

Agreed. I hope the process becomes easier.

Is the idea that all nostrers would simply have their own relay. As an avg Joe blo bitcoiner (I know that's an oxy moron) who does blue collar work, I don't really have time to think about running a relay. Unless I guess it's as easy as getting started on here with Primal

Well you could run one on your phone and/or desktop to serve as a backup for your personal notes... running one that others are allowed to write to is a bit more work

relay.tools

I tried this. It didn’t work or perhaps I didn’t know what I was doing.

I'm thinking about starting my own ditto relay

Thanks for the zap

Imagine throwing out ideas and just hoping someone creates it for you … while having queen next to your name.

Where TF are you a queen of? Candy Land?

Like Bitcoin and running nodes

If you have an nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct node just install the #nostr relay addon. Not much of an effort and a backup of all your own notes. It’s a good start.

Do you run it via umbrel?

Yes!

I've been avoiding Umbrel for a long time and I probably should give it a try ☺️

Easy as an extra setup. Works very plug and go play
