Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me.

Broadcast and boosted 🤙

What does rebroadcasting actually do?

#asknostr

Sends note to broadcaster's relays

So it's like an unposted boost or something? 🤔

Yep ✅.

Idea is that when commenting or boosting clients rebroadcast so your followers can see what you are interacting with, but the rebroadcast function could be its own thing and pokes at decentralizing notes flowing through the relays

i see, i think lol

these devs think of everything, don't they

Yea I like to rebroadcast notes I think are important to ensure they exist on even more relays. It simply pushes that existing note/event out to your connected relays to make it visible to more users.

A note is just a packet of JSON (sort of) that is cryptographically signed. It can exist anywhere - when it’s first published it only exists in the publishers relays and maybe a local cache. Rebroadcasting sends a copy of it to any relays you are connected to that might not have it - if they already have it they will just ignore. Some relays also sync amongst themselves. It’s almost easier to think of a nostr event and its presence on a relay as two completely distinct things.

welcome back

Respect & definite on the FISA 702. 🙏

I have tor disabled through cloudflare on the damus relay… i dislike this company :/ i need to switch

I mean I have the setting set to make sure tor works, but it still doesn’t. I will check again.

Thank you. Fwiw I hate cloudflare too. But I get it.

I toggled their onion routing setting, not sure if it will help or not

If it doesn’t i will look into moving away from it

you need to get putin and xi to immediattely deploy MUSCLE they are trying to pull some marshal law while they have the president cornered and we need him live streamed to the USA to GIVE ORDERS WHO NEEDS to STAND DOWN GET CHID on it and MASS MESSAGE all MILITARY SR's NOT EVIL! KILL THE BAD GUY who is in NEW YORK THIS IS 911 THEY FUCKED UP and are NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN UNLESS EXPOSED SO first HILLSBORO POLICE THEN PUTIN and XI and then CHID then CELEBRTIES to MASS TELL EVERYONE and then TIMNIT or her first VIDEO CALL JUST HELP THEY HAVE GUNS ON THEM

No! I just enabled it. Thank you!

I configured my relay.CasualCrypto.Date like that from the beginning, but I never really tested it. Can you please confirm if the relay is accessible via tor for you? Thank you!

Did you specifically set a WAF rule to turn the security score to effectively off for Tor users? I had to do this in order to prevent them getting hit with a captcha each time

We need a viable Cloudflare alternative.

Maybe nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m could offer a bounty to replace Cloudflare like he did GitHub? 🤔

Only nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd can save us from cloudflare

Wiz plz halp 🥹

"build your own cloudflare"

Bros is it time?

Large bounties do more harm than good

Hello Edward!

Follower counts are terribly unreliable, since nostr is so distributed there is no central way to count. Some aggregating relays try to do it and get pretty close, but many clients have really bad numbers. I wouldn't worry about those. My client (gossip) doesn't even try - I don't want it to lie.

As for relays that support Tor, I don't know. I don't think any of them intentionally block Tor (I can't be sure), but maybe some hosting providers just do that.

Damus blocks tor connection.

Theres a few relays with .onion in this GitHub repo

https://github.com/0xtrr/onion-service-nostr-relays

https://relayable.org/ also has a .onion

Thank you.

nos.lol and relay.nostr.band seem to be working ok on Tor as well.

Reposted and broadcasted to my relays. 🤙

It always comes back to 9 11

Let’s think positive; you’re connected and would like to do something.

Welcome back

broadcasted and boosted.

Welcome back legend 🫡

Mine has similar issues!!! I tried to reach nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s he wasn’t able to help either. I just started using #primal

Use primal Edward. Highly recommended

I can see your post on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 without problems 😅

I have nothing to contribute to help with coding/building or nothing like that but I'll use this patchwork social network over anything else!

You could run next.nostrudel.ninja through IPFS with Tor relays 🥹

Glad you're back!

Welcome back! Let me know if you have any issues with nostr.wine or filter.nostr.wine - both work with tor but curious if there are performance issues.

do they have an onion address?

nostr.wine does but not filter at this time. It’s not load balanced (yet) and only available in one location.

ws://lvd6hpgbvxgsdhjohzsvjo64nvveybrjpmhub57jt6zgyty7j6itjzyd.onion

Following gets purged often. Can’t figure it out.

Maybe new laws must be approved by voters through a referendum before getting approved by lawmakers especially regarding surveillance and privacy.

Begging at the feet of our masters is admitting failure. Rise up.

Can someone plz type out the script I gotta say to these bozos on the other line?

I see you on Coracle with 400+ followers. This note was seen on 4 relays, and has 26 likes. On Tor from Coracle, this post shows up right away on 3+ relays. What client are you using? I don't know if you can use web clients, but you might try Coracle if you're on desktop, or don't mind using a PWA/browser on mobile.

Welcome back!

Rebroadcasting this for more reach. 🙏

Are there any major nostr relays with onion addresses? That wouldn't be subject to exit node ip blocking.

We hear you friend.

Welcome back! I've got nothing. I used a Tor relay a year ago and have never used one since.

your clear lack of research into this tech is kinda sad

have the NSA stopped paying you their sponsorship?

also this political hooey makes me sad, come on

if democracy was the way out of this wet paper bag we wouldn't be in it

Unfortunately, I have to agree. It's the charade that gets the buy-in/compliance of the subjects...

That telephone number connects you to a dialer that dials a cisco directory. Its a useless deadend.

Lookup your senator here and give them a piece of your mind.

https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

I’ve let them take enough from me already. The pieces I have left of my mind are off limits!

You can also use wss://nostr.coinfund.app relay as it's very fast and allows Tor users

Glad to see you back! What client are you using that you can see relay usage?

Amethyst

Welcome back, sir. 🫡

I think when you post a new note, it should allow you to set new relays (or all relays) you're gonna post to, like a header, a hidden tip to your followers client. When it sees it, should start following that relay.

Imo, this is comming to get "centralized" in 5 ou 6 huge relays, as damus. How people will meet/connect to new (recent) relays?

I think it's a problem they should take care about

They were just talking about how they were worried you left nostr in another thread recently lolol

There’s a joke in there somewhere 😂😂😂

Gran referente, poco activo en #Nostr últimamente.

Replicada tu nota 🗒️ 🔁

Glad you’re back!

😍

Thanks for spreading the message! Very concerning!

Hearing you, and good to see you back and making an effort to get the connection sorted

Welcome back!

Try primal ?

You have 93K followers brother and what can be done to stop that bill? Is posting online just like voting harder? (Pissing in the wind)

You're asking the man who sacrificed everything he had to tell you about stuff like this?

I hope your question is directed at his audience and not at him....

I understand he did and am appreciative of that, but voting harder means nothing, nor does asking politicians with high time preference and general disdain for the public “please don’t”.

It’s directed at anyone who can convince me that sharing this info with my friends and family, 90% of whom are NPCs and would keep scrolling, that it would make any meaningful difference, verses focusing on tools and tech that make this redundant and building on a more sturdy foundation.

1984 in 2024!!!

welcome back. ever tried primal?

nostrudle is good

They will pass it. Calling your senators is buying into the illusion. Be the change I want to see = NOT COMPLYING! 🕊️

Finding more relays equals better connectivity. I have 35 so far, Feel free to connect to them from my profile.

hope you come back!

(to nostr as well as the US, someday)

Look who's back here!

Hi. Good to “see” you on here. I worked at Booz Allen too during the Obama administration- though not doing anything controversial. Sorry this happened to you… Big Brother is out of control.

After protesting about the Chinese government doing this, the US government decided it would be a good idea for themselves. Because irony, is so ironic.

I gave you a year of access to the nostr.land family of relays. Enter these in Amethyst. They tend to work with Tor, and there's an onion relay, also. nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj let me know if I missed any.

Welcome back!

If I'm not wrong, nostr:npub1pvgcusxk7006hvtlyx555erhq8c5pk9svw57snlxujpkgnkup89sekdx8c did a research about Tor compatibility time ago,, maybe she can tell us something.

Try nostr.wine and filter.nostr.wine.

The aggregate and distribute notes in your behalf.

Wrote to my senators. Thanks for the nudge. Glad to have you back on nostr

Welcome back

Welcome back Edward!

Amethyst user with around 11 relays here: There is no source of truth in Nostr. One day I have 10 followers, another day 10k. My notes seem to reach most people who subscribe to me though. I enjoy the ambivalence of decentralization :)

Welcome back!!!

Welcome back, Edward!

Welcome back 🫡🫂💜 Happy to read you‘ve managed to get it working again! AFAIK, follower count is still unreliable & dependent on which relays respond to the request. But I‘m just a noob on this — maybe nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z can give you a hint about #Amethyst.

I’m on Damus right now and could see this message

I’ll also make some noise about RISAA 👍

superb

Welcome back, glad to see you posting again 👍🏻

Wb legend!

You only have to give them all of your personal information... A bit ironic.

“your data” should never be the real one…

Of course, but I still hate being asked for so much information from everyone. Why do they need it? So it can sit in a database and get leaked some day.

nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv

Can Blastr be run behind Tor?

hi again

Glad you’re back.

they already are....just saying!

Sounds like China 2.0 crazy

FUCK THAT SHIT.. sick of our government being out of control.

Follower count is wack and you have too many relays

what(and why) is a healthy amount of relays?

We can see you !

You moved to Russia. Why on earth do you think our senators would listen to us if you moved to Russia for trying to point out abuses in the system?

“Moved”

Mais Edward c'est plus qu'interne non pour les USA

C'est aux citoyens de se mobiliser auprès de leurs représentants..afin que tout soit voté comme notamment en Arizona où des commodités du 15eme vont servir pour valider leur projet avant avortement complément retardée comme action stratégique

Me concernant en tant citoyenne de France depuis j'ai pu noter qu'au niveau des ambassades pour refaire un ESTA qu'il fallait les informer si on est titulaire d'un compte sur les réseaux sociaux je modére mes avis puisque j'ai envie d'y retourner quand je veux me déplacer en toute liberté sans que des services de police de frontières me posent des questions sur mes interactions en ligne ..' c'est depuis 2 ans que ça existe si vous refusez l'ESTA n'est pas validé et si vous ne les informez vous êtes susceptibles de payer un voyage pour rien ...

Selon moi ces types de questions relèvent du domaine privé que j'aie un compte twitter, nostr, threads ...raison pour laquelle sur X je lis vos notes et ne répond plus ...

J'ai vu et lu FISA et comment vous vous acharnez depuis plus d'une semaine pour que les citoyens lisent les informations indispensables en lien avec leur liberté individuelle

Pour l'Arizona idem ressortir des textes du 15 ème pour conforter le problème lié à l'avortement en nos actuels c'est plus ubuesque ..

Bon retour ici

Welcome back 👊🏼

Glad to see you again.

If you’re looking to share secrets without using the exit node, you can easily set up a Nostr relay on your own Start9 server or StartOS device using this: https://marketplace.start9.com/nostr.

I’m glad you’re here, nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9

Now you see how it feels to be a pleb with only 100 followers🫡

How will NSA enforce that thing on business?

Welcome back 🫂

Welcome back. Damus and Primal are my daily drivers-sometimes I see content on Primal that doesn’t show up on Damus for whatever reason.

realy .damus.io maybe blocked inRU and China.

1. just do search .onion - most active hidden relays will show up besides other ways to find - relay other relay list

2. u never need worry abt FOLLOWERS COUNT since no relay aggregator can ever see exact number really - everyone can u see message followers + non-followers via lists or globaL

BTW u have about 100K followers

also if u not use top 50 overcrowded relays u notes still pushed out /pulled by others

welcome back, use Primal if you are having problems with followers count.

You can also use the Citrine relay to backup your followers on the phone.

Great to have you back bro! Stay strong!

We out here 🤙

Missed you a lot, Ed. 🫂

Stop FISA.

Schön, dass Sie wieder da sind! 🫂

Oh that makes sense. Now I wonder did you get all messages? I know I'm referred to as Carey like in for King of queens. I guess it's good to have allies like Kevin james. no he wasn't a real cop but he's played cops and he's probably old like Adam Sandler enough to care about my situation.

What's coming back is all the creeps to remind me of my abusers and rapists so that Im forced to remember guys like Tommy Manai the Filipino was discharged from the Army for a medical injury, former gang member, abortionist abuser. Probably because he was the last person I visited my real mom and older sister with. Whom I was also homeless because of.

Sam Smith's not the rapper but a local in KC, MO, his mom worked as a school bus driver she made me sleep on the floor instead of the couch alot of rules I now know it was probably a hate crime because I'm white. I accidentally sneezed not covering my nose with my arm. No one was ever offended by it before her. Which is now 1 of the rules for COVID-19. Cover your nose with your arm. She made me wake up at 4am forced in the school bus break room until her shift was over. No one talked to me. Not even law enforcement there. No one did anything.

Including Texas. Tony is in Texas but Im never going back there. But HHS headquarters are there and that's where they train managers. I want Tony out of Texas. And at work they publicly talk about Texas in meetings. And how "that's Tommy with tattoos." It's HHS and probably the locals who are wanting to find people from when I was actually homeless before coming here homeless. I'm compared to Donald Trumps legal case: being investigated for literally everything bad instead of good. By law investigations are only supposed to go back 7 years but these locals want to dig up as much dirt on you as possible no matter how many years ago it was. That's why they keep bringing up Wendy's.

Also my coworker Shiaria is the one who probably told community services my real name. She doesn't have the mindset or emotional behavior for anything. I think the cops used her as a weapon against me so I have to walk. Like in the hunger games brain washing. Because of the fight and war with the cops. She's the only one who gave me a ride home and now she's not because shes mad I snitched on her. No she doesn't have to give up her source. Her and AJ are both racist and hate crime against me and others because we're white. Im too nice and she knows that. But when she's mad shes mad.

Welcome back!
