I'm using the Rust implementation nostr-rs-relay.
I want to do two things with my relay:
1. Rate limit write events per pub key to 1 event per 60 seconds.
2. Identify and remove duplicate notes from the DB.
I don't want overbearing spam filters, I just want to prevent the most egregious examples.
These options can be set in the config.toml right? I also use this relay and I'm looking for the best config
I need to go back in and look at it. I remember seeing rate limiting, but I don't know about filtering duplicate posts for those npubs that blast the same post over and over.
Actually the only rate limiting setting I see is a total events per second setting. Doesn't look like there's an option in config.toml to rate limit per npub. I'm going to open an issue on Github about it because that's going to be an important spam tool that shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
I'm enabling NIP-05 for now to at least cut down on a little spam.
Yes I did it works well. Don't hesitate to share your findinds 🙏
My relay DB is a little over 9GB right now and it's been running for a little over a week.
It's huge, mine is 873MB but my relay was down 1 week. I understand why you want to filter 😅
This won't be sustainable for very long without some sort of spam filter 🤣
Oh clearly ! 😂 Do you know why it increased so fast? Only the Nostr ppl growth or spamers ?
Pretty sure it was listed on nostr.watch long enough for the spammers to find it. I'm watching the logs right now since I enabled NIP-05 verification and I can see it kicking a few npubs.
Yes that will refuse the validation and will not gave theme the badge but they will still be able to publish events no? Pub Key whitelist can stop them I suppose but no one will be able to send events, maybe not thé best way to do it
Yeah you use pubkey whitelist for setting up a paid relay.
NIP-05 verification, if set to 'enabled' will not allow writing events from non-NIP-05 verified npubs. The problem is that NIP-05 is very easy to get.
Great thanks for the explanations 🙏 I enabled it today I will see what will happen in the next few days.
