holy shit!!
🤙
Crazy cool🤯
LFG 🤙
50 million requests served, and 18TB served. Roughly 1TB served through the damus relay per day.
🤯🤯
Amazing
how about the cost?
Im spending around $300+ per month on server costs so I'm burning through my bitcoin pretty fast atm on top of my mortgage and expenses 🥲 need to figure out something soon.
Scary... I'm about to start one... 😱
Zap this man!!
Tell Jack you need an immersion server farm asap.
Just dropped you 30k mate hope it helps a bit
Zapped some. Will zap all the Sats I get.
Thanks for everything
This doesn’t give me a lot of hope for the long term survival of small independent relay operators 😟
I run the most popular public relay, it has higher requirements than most would need
Is a Damus seed round in play?
maybe if subscriptions aren't enough to keep it afloat
Expiring events on the relay cuts down on bandwidth consumption a lot. Not a great option, but probably necessary depending on the situation. Paid relays can afford to keep data long-term
Damus will have to go to paid if that is the case.
Sending you 300 sats a month to help with cost, 100k more people to go.
⚡️
You will wing it! 💫 After #nostrica too, the engagement & users on Damus will skyrocket ⚡️
We’re here to help. Name it 🫶🏼
Hey #[3] have you thought about finding through something like open collective?
If you get “only” 30k sats per day in zaps which I think you can “easily” achieve, it means about 1M sats/month which would be covering most of the server costs.
At the very end I hope 🤞 you’ll be able to live entirely from zaps and other paid services linked to Damus. You’re surely on something big dude, keep the amazing work 💪
I think I just zapped you enough for a 🍩 or 🍜 but I'm not sure. Thanks for building this. You guys move fast!
Is that all text? Or is it media too?
Wow. That is lots of zaps ⚡️ and positive vibes.

offchain.pub has been running strfry for almost two weeks now. Averaging a little under a TB a week currently.

Are requests to/from damus relay compressed?
I think so? It uses strfry
I thought strfry only compressed relay to relay comms not relay to client.
Oh really? Dang then no
If you setup Damus to use yesstr, then you can sync compressed.
hmm sounds pretty custom
Will is there any lightning poker site or roulette or something ?
yesstr is a relay, or something else?
Thanks 🍊.
I wrote up the compression question on nostr nips issues yesterday.
I wondered if 1) there are further data savings to be had (per 🍊 sounds like yes to/from client) and 2) if these are worthwhile. Maybe worth exploring for clients in order to reduce bandwidth needs further?
Actually strfry *does* compress relay->client messages by default, using websocket per-message compression with sliding window (if supported by client).
This is configurable with the relay.compression.enabled and relay.compression.slidingWindow parameters in the beta branch.
The strfry logs also include the compression negotation parameters on client connect, and the total compression ratios on disconnect (up and down).
This is 🔥🔥🔥
yes if the client supports it
that is insane!

Thats lit 🔥🔥 Will. Congrats bro
how do you measure uniqueness? By pubkey or other things like IP?
We going crazyyyy 🙌🔥
Nice 🤙

Here king you dropped this 👑 ⚡️

What are your thoughts on bitcoin?
The future money
King of crypto
What are your thoughts on eth?
Bright future all time 2nd position in crypto
But i love bitcoin
No, it’s a piece of shit, shitcoin. Bitcoin only. Do more homework on bitcoin.
centralized clown crap. cia controlled
Boom. Set up your lightning wallet so I can zap you for that! ⚡️⚡️
thank you. even before they did the clown show to move from proof of work to proof of stake, they got successfully attacked. bitcoin and monero never got successfully attacked. both use proof of work. both provide a value because of that. energy is free and abundant. do not believe the lies.
Why do you say energy is free?
because it is. it always was. oil is abundant like water. history is a fraud. do some research
This is not a rational economic concept.
that is why:
Done
I zapped you earlier 210 sats with the intent of you learning more about bitcoin only.

Bitcoin is harmony with the natural order of things. It doesn't steal, cheat or cancel. It elevates and enforces the free and voluntary flow of life force as if it was gravity. It is economic justice; incorruptible property rights for all.
Zapped you again so that if they each zap you 210 Sats and zap you twice you’ll have 6 bitcoin. 😂😂😂

It's crazy.⚡️🔮🔥🚀 Well done, will
zapped ⚡️bro
Damus on Android?
Consider mainstream media only talking about balloons, another AI-robot, Elon ranking his own tweets etc etc as distraction
That’s crazy!
Sheesh
That makes damus.io looks like Google in early time.
Not bad! ;)

Bammmm! 💥
You need to start selling mouse mats or something?
