Damus

Tengo varios para ofrecerle pero me dijeron que no puede faltar nostr.wine

Relayable

I would like to know that too. Not very new but new myself.

I tell them to add some from here. 🫡

https://nostrstats.vercel.app/relays.html

Nostr.wine

It seems wine has gotten super expensive 😔

Yeah wtf eden is just 3k

🤔

wss://relayable.org and wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com . wss://nostr.wine too 🐶🐾🫡

Copy the one’s #[1]​ is using!

“idk, just check the ones I’m using and pick some or all of them”

I am that new user

Help me please

Me too mais en observation depuis une année pour être sûre

I’m still trying to figure out how to shift my info over to primal - I’m such a retard!

Info? It just copies over?

Log out and when you log back in use your private key.

he isnt a new user. Pump up reply

Done 🫡😂

🙂🙏🏻

All of it! 🤙😂

I copied mine from somebody else’s profile

Mine. 😎

Then start following profiles, etc. Then look at the users who are popular or who you really like, check their relays, and add those too.

Where can I get an ELI5 on relays and a directory? Like, how the fuck is anyone supposed to know?

This is going to be a problem if we can’t answer this well. I haven’t seen a concise answer in 8+ months

Effectivement

Agree. I asked this the other day. Got crickets.

Excellente question matt

Maybe the best way to answer them is to start by describing the various types of relays between public, private, paid, whitelisted, etc?

Which will probably lead to questions of "which are the best public relays vs paid relays and which should I use?"

So maybe that's not the best way to answer them?

Are there any websites that do real-time rankings of relays for the various types?

I would recommend them to use client #[2], since the top 20 best relays on Nostr are already added by default.😎

People are taking notice of your post.

Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed

nostr.wine

Blastr

use default relays on client and add more from what others are using

I still don't understand how nostr works..

Only just started using this app #Damus is the best yet!

stupid question but how do you add or access a relay using Plebstr ? Oh and what is a relay

Find a person you like, open theirs and copy. I'm using Plebstr on iPhone, it's pretty simplistic, and I have no bloody idea where to find and how to add paid relays or browse what is there. There will be a lot of clueless people like me.

"dunno. Here's a bunch"

this is the way

Damus relay, primal relay.

DYOR! NMJ..

Great question.

That's a tough one. I started with Amethyst's defaults, added some paid ones and used noStrudel to see which ones often failed to accept my posts. Relay stats and ratings might help.

Thinking about creating a rebroadcaster to compile stats while increasing send reliability.

relay.damus.io to start

wss://purplepag.es to help fetching profile and relay metadata

wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com to broadcast events

wss://nostr.wine or wss://eden.nostr.land for paid relays

wss://nostr-id-relay.hf.space if they want to surf "Global feed" comfortably

What are the tradeoffs between wine and eden?

The good thing of both relays are that they are maintained by experienced relay operators (good system administrator) Mazin and Semisol, so technical problem like server went down is unlikely to happen (reliable relays).

If i'm not mistaken, Wine has 4 regional mirror servers while Eden has 2 regional mirror servers. Wine has extra additional feature (optional extra cost) which is filter.nostr.wine . Eden offer monthly subscription while Wine offer one-time based subscription.

I think you can check on their website to compare and decide based on your needs 🙂

https://eden.nostr.land/

https://nostr.wine

Thanks for this information!

Next attack ? damus cuz they are the big one XD

I am a nu user. Is there a downside to using all relays available?

For a new user, to start with:

- wss://relay.damus.io

- wss://relay.primal.net

- wss://relay.nostr.band

- wss://relay.nos.lol

Nice, fast UX.

Works for me.

Nostr.band ,mutiy relay ( spreads to other relays over blastr), mostr.pub ( if u want fediverse) , for further rels : nostr:nevent1qqsv745hm067qpdzml3f0c9u6kqf92fpe6pqfcpuvyhrelhg8gzphrcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qqny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysxpqqqqqqzvr4zjk
