Nostr Web Client

Any new Nostr users? What questions do you have?

When it comes to videos:

How many MB can I upload max or how many minutes?

There are "NIP-96" servers and "Blossom Servers" and "Built-in media servers " - I m referring to Amethyst setup for example - is there any guide what to use and how? What each server of all those do differently? Does it matter who owns them?

There are a lot of paid "services", nostr.build, nostr.wine etc. Subscribing to them does it make any difference in the experience of accessing nostr clients? You can upload more and lengthy content if you subscribe to nostr.build for example or does it serve only as a cloud to store your content?

I m mostly use primal (because it's easier) but when I m giving a "thumbs up" on Amethyst, this doesn't appear on Primal, so when I give 👍 from Primal, the note in Amethyst has 2 👍, from me. I don't get that.

Well there are some of my questions. 😅

I don't like to overload.

I dont think there is any cap on videos on primal but I could be wrong best to ask nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

Most free video services are capped in file size. I think nostr build integrated with some clients and allow up to 4mb file sizes - or maybe they increased that? I don’t remember. Paid nostr.build plan does allow for much larger file sizes.

In terms of blossom servers I think those are mostly demo. Primal does have one but I’m unsure of caps.

I don't think that blossom is running as demo. Primal uses them as default.

Is it not the point of blossom to have fallbacks? What good is a single server without a fallback?

Yes, that's why you can also setup mirrors in Primal.

100mb on Nostr build

Oh dang

I think primal has the same limit for free uploads too. With the right compression you can fit a fairly large video into 100mb.

Thanks!

For videos make sure to compress them and you'll get a lot more time. Two good options on Android.

FF share - open source, more options, lower compression generally.

Proton video compressor - closed source, not s lot of options, maximum compression. I've seen 100mb videos to down to 1-2mb with this one.
