To those who are running strfry relays, if you’re using the sync feature, which relays are you syncing with? Would be great to have a list for reference!
Discussion
nostr.mom does not get from anywhere. nos.lol is getting from a few paid relays and nostr.mom and a few free. some people said they are sending to nos.lol but not sure if they still do.
1.noztr.com not using sunc feature
I'm not syncing at present. But, er, not for lack of trying.
nostr21.com is not syncing at this time. The thing with syncing is that if a client connects to two relays that are syncing then they download double events. So I'd like to help clients avoid that excessive bandwidth use for now by staying a standalone public relay.
Interesting… so if we compare these two scenarios:
- Connected to standalone Relays A + B + C + D directly, and they have duplicate data
- Connected only to Synced Relays E and F who sync with relays A + B + C + D
you’re saying the second scenario would use more data?
There are two reasons for duplicate events. One is client side, most clients send the same event to all the relays they're connected to. The other is if relays are syncing they accomplish the same thing via a sync regardless of the client efforts. If a client doesn't realize they're connected to two synchronized relays, they transmit twice as much and receive twice as much as they need to.
So what I'm saying is, in the future clients will get a lot smarter about relaying, only posting to the minimal set of relays to get a message out.. and relays will probably become more centered around communities of users where you *choose to be on a specific relay for specific content or reason.
