Does strfy need a new project owner? Maybe some funding? Or am I just worrying about nothing?
Discussion
This interesting to you?
Hmm. How so? I was mostly referring to the stagnation of the strfy relay project, just a little concerned since a majority of relays seem to use it.
You took interest in relays, and today I learned that the nostr window login js does not work. Fiatjaf advised this is fixable on relay side. Issue and context is described in issues #6, #7.
And yes, I understood your original question. Since it involved relays, I figured Iād ask a tangential question š
Oh, yessir, thanks. I just needed a bit of explanation :)
I read these bugs and he basically says, once providers fix their stuff, *then relays might be able to filter on some unknown as of yet way of determining if a provider is 'available'. Firetruck, back in garage. š This filtering stuff is all doable with a proxy for strfry.
but see, the thing is, a proxy is just a relay without a database inside it, or at arms length from a database
strange init. definitely was interested.
Quite. I noticed, but I also see you working on a bunch of other btc related things
Also you were the one that was supposed to calm me down. Now I'm a little worried. :)
no worries. no problems. i try to avoid spending time proving or correcting misjudgments. just didn't realize the project went dark. weird. what are you seeing?
Understood. I suppose were in opposite time zones. Nothing bad I suppose, strfry is just the most widely used project that we are all relying on atm and I'm just concerned that we need to keep momentum on a new relay, and of course security and spam prevention and all that good stuff.
it is a badass piece of software and dont mind investing time to pushing it forward. i gathered some notes on what that might look like to avoid fragmentation. you seem organized and doing some kewl stuff. what is your interest in this project rather than the 'other' efforts?
I just think strfy has the potential to be an "enterprise" grade relay and most of the current network has interest or is already running it and the network will depend on it. I want to see it survive and do well as a well designed C++ project. I appreciate it. What do you mean by fragmentation?
many different forks and in-house maintenance efforts fragmenting features and interoperability due to different versions being released rather than from a single repo. but it happens all the time.
I suppose it's also worth mentioning I'm not much of a C++ developer, and most complex relay architecture is probably over my head.
