Nostr Web Client

I'd like to run a #nostr #relay on my spare computer, but I want to do it anonymously.

As I am also just a small guy, I need to ensure my server will be actually used by users.

How is this possible?

I don't my real IP to be shown (I have a VPN I trust) and I don't want to have to use any credit card or other financial mean which reveals my identity.

How is this possible? As I can't register a domain anonymously, maybe I could be part of a bigger server which has a load balancer which sometimes sends requests to my server?

Is there a better solution? Is this possible on #strfry or #nostr-rs-relay or an other?

Being part of a bigger server would also solve the problem of my server not being famous enough to be used. Is this possible? (I guess that would be a community server pool)

It would be nice if I could also get some points (Like #Monero) so that in Future I could use it as payment for a paid server (keeping my anonymity)

nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m is it possible to run a Nostr server in the way I described above?

You can, you can run Nostream and expose it over Tor

Tor is not really anonymous, is it?

And can I put my server working for a more famous one? Otherwise as my server is not famous enough no one will join it

If Tor is not anonymous, then nothing is. And it very well might be the latter. An onion site on Tor is as good as you'll be able to get (IMHO).

VPN is not anonymous to the VPN provider.

I mean Tor is not anonymous because there are routers added by the government which can guess you real IP address,.or am I wrong?

I understood that #i2p doesn't offer this risk.

Is my understanding correct?

Ok I may be wrong. Mabye I2P is more anonymous. I never really dug into I2P

You can get a private VPS from one of the services showed on kycnot.me and host a VPN with port forwarding on it. Then use something like nerostr to host a paid private relay.

You can register a domain anonymously through njalla for one (just pay with XMR)- domains start at $15 a year
