I fucked up the relay db files so wss://nostr.oxtr.dev will be down while I try to fix the db. Sorry for the downtime folk!

Hmm, doesn’t look like Damus iOS renders 0 amount invoices..
wen bolt12 offers 😅
I actually have a bolt 12 offer on my website! Not many clients support it yet though 🤷♂️
aw, seems like Alby, Breez, and OBW don't accept it.
Yeah, Zeus (https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/) and RTL (https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL) is the only applications I know that supports it.
ZEUS FTW
hmm. Just send an invoice for 20k
Thanks a lot Devin, appreciate you!

paid. Glad to help out!
How did you generate this invoice and posted it here? What is the format?
just post a lightning invoice via a lightning wallet (Phoenix, breez, Muun, BlueWallet)

it’s yours mate ⚡️
Haha, awesome! This is just crazy. I'm in Tokyo, my umbrel node lightning wallet is in Europe and a stranger sent me 1000 sats via nostr posted invoice.

what up false. Checking this out!
"So yeah, if you could ELI5 how to embed a gif on Astral that'd be great."
find gif on some hosting site, right click and open imagie in new tab.
next to the emoji icon when posting is a link option, paste link from **imagine in new tab** hit the + then post
testing a giphy link.
right click on gif
open in new tab
use that URL
for that one giphy, you can click the share button and copy gif link






Demotivational and patronising applause, tbh. But warranted. thanks for the retod explainer. 😂

didnt mean it that way!
No, I hoped it was because that would be hilarious 😂

you can. right click on gif wherever it is and open in new tab, use that link
test
?format=mp4&s=d8772298e7cc9330460ed3f036ef331d93b25546
you can also just post it without using the link option! just add to your post
oh wow, thanks!
This is an invoice for the lightning network which is a second-layer payments network “on top of” bitcoin.
#[4]
do it
well that was quick 🤣
ITS ALIVE!
I did something right here because the relay is down to 32ms response time from a varying 4000-12000 ms. Let’s see if it continues to behave like this.
make sure you have 1024 max_conn and `ulimit -a` max file handles is higher than 1024
What open files limit do you have? Seems like some do lower thousands and some do 50k, 100k+. I haven’t set max_conn yet though, will do that.
i noticed mine was set to 1024 and then the relay started throwing errors at around that many connections. Need to run `ulimit -n 99999` before running the relay if its too low.
amazing
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.
