Ok great, I guess I started at the right place. What’s a relay?

A relay is what you connect to so that your notes are broadcasted and so that you can read notes. If we share the same relay then we can read each others notes.

Here’s an article written by a friend:

Read more than half, still not 100% but will keep going

Okay. Ask any questions and hopefully we can give you an answer 😁

So… right now we’re both connected to a relay? That’s how we’re reading each others stuff? But maybe it’s a free relay? So how can I see Jack Dorsey’s stuff too then?

I see you’re using the Damus relay. I am too.

So now I understand it a bit better. Any high quality relays you can suggest to newbies? Also I’m assuming you can only pay in Bitcoin?

If you click on my profile page, and then relays, you can view my relays. There will be a little “bitcoin” icon beside them which shows that they are paid relays. I’ve only ever paid in bitcoin.

Nostr.wine is a really good one if you want to just pay for one.

Eden is a good one too. Cameri is a very active member of the community.

Astra too. Semisol is the developer of nostr nests and nostrplebs.com if you are looking to get your nip05 verification.

Sorry typo. Astra = atlas
