I think paid accounts would increase if the Nostr clients displayed a link to premium account signup when file uploads fail because of free account limitations

We have that on the website, but not the clients.. Great idea, let me see how to implement this!

My uploads still fail within clients, despite being a premium user.

Regularly? Displaying error messages in clients would help troubleshoot what the problem is. I think sometimes the issue is on the Nostr client side. Try uploading straight to nostr.build when that happens. I often just upload straight to nostr.build and copy the link when composing a note.

Regularly the last several months. It’s actually what led to me becoming a premium user. It just sucks to have to go to a website and copy the link. I’m lazy. Assuming it’s a client thing.

Ping nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w when it happens. Sometimes there’s bad deploys. Doesn’t happen often though. Downside of not having a full time team working on the product.

This should not be happening for free or paid accts, and we have not seen this as a regular issue. We’ll investigate and see what’s up.

Please let nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w and me know next time it happens and we’ll troubleshoot further.

Curious if it happens on certain clients? Certain file types? When it happened last? Error messages?

Very recently Fishcake fixed a ‘large file upload bug’ that may have been related.

It’s on Damus. Generally happens when I’m uploading short mp4 or mov video files for nostr:npub1xm82eyq6exvrh5pzfnlfyfxhusdh2f7sjguy0204ggxhxrfyz2xsvt3el2. Works perfectly every time on the site. Will screenshot next time.

I quickly checked the logs but I have not seen any uploads from your npub in the past day or so. Please screenshot when you get failure next time so I can investigate thoroughly 🐶🐾🫂🙏🏻

Yeah that’s my fault and I’m sure other clients as well. Started documenting work to be done here:
