Do you have a github for the relay code? I'm interested to see how your DB connection is paying you.
my new relay is not giving errors back to #coracle at this point, but it is not being engaged in as many requests as i expect and i think that is NIP-11 nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8wetnw3jhymnzw33jucm0d5hszyrhwden5te0vyhxummn9ekx7mp0qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gfvt87p related
so my next week for sure i'm gonna get nip11 fully working with it (it's a khatru fork and yes it is going to connect to a shitcoin database gfy they pay me)
i think that bitcoiners need to be realistic about how to see low trust data storage systems... for now, most of them are shitcoins but i see no reason why people can't form federations to do this and back up and distribute #nostr events on them, it's very fast at horizontal propagation up to 100 nodes
doesn't need "proof of steak" - it's completely fake that it uses proof of anything, that's just a mechanism for reducing the number of replicas in the network
yes, bitcoin's proof of work is about constraining the number of replicas *at a given moment* but different to pBFT which has to make that an ongoing thing during the consensus as that's key to how the blocks get finalised
pBFT gives you fast finality but nakamoto consensus gives you unbreakable, eternal security of immutability of the record, after 6 blocks or so
Discussion
haven't designed that part yet xD
oh, hah
it's a shitcoin project grant!
they unfortunately overestimate the utility of their constrained compute system inside the "canisters" they use and are "considering" developing "storage canisters" and i say ... yes
but i'll build a relay that has an interface to connect to a distributed database like theirs because i know that the moar shitcoiners show up here the sooner they get a schooling, and it's a special better type of shitcoiner that wants to fund a nostr relay project, wdyt?
Which shitcoin? I'm trying to find another way to use a distributed database for an application without spinning up my own blockchain on aws. The only other option I can think of would be using relays as my db
