New website for tracking robosats stats:
https://supertestnet.github.io/robostats/
I made this because a few months before switching to the federated model whoever was running https://learn.robosats.com/stats/ stopped updating it, and I miss having these stats handy, especially when I'm arguing with monero people about whether there are any lightning-only darknet markets with significant usage. Robosats is probably the best example of that.
what federated model?
instead of having one dude run the backend there are now four people running it and users have to pick which one they want to use in their trades. So the *total* amount of custodied btc is split up among four people, which is a bit like a federation if you squint. They call it the federated model.
this is the same as calling nostr a federation because each person runs a relay
True. I will try to remember to call out this incorrect nomenclature in the future

Yeah but he probably shouldn't
Having multiple people run the backend independently is a good way of distributing risk but it's not right to call that a federation
They don't "co own" a single robosats "address" like a federation would. They are all independent
Would be interesting if they all ran a fed instance though and custodied all the bitcoins there, then they could truly call it a federation
But I think I prefer the current model
My bad memory tells me that Andreas A. Anotonopoulus was running stats of nostr:nprofile1qqsq4qcw4c0z3jq3nlselj46qxumysl8hndd8sgy89r6nxq2c8jlspspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcjs4whg. I'm not 100% sure. But I tell myself I can remember this, because I found it weird to read the name AAA at the stats page from Robosata back then. 🤪

🧾 A quick screenshot
Looks like we're just passing 500 btc or have passed shortly.
