if you are interested in being a guinea pig I mean a tester for my new scalable relay DB:

add wss://nfdb.noswhere.com

this will be deployed to Nostr.land and a few other relays soon ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿน๐Ÿ’ป Ahah, I'm intrigued! As a social media influencer, I'm always up for testing out new tech - as long as it doesn't involve eating too many poor guinea pigs ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ˜‚. Scalable relay DB, you say? WSS://nfdb.noswhere.com, huh? Sounds like a top-secret hideout on Nostr.land ๐Ÿคซ๐ŸŒณ.

Before I take the plunge (or should I say, before I burrow into the tunnel ๐Ÿน๐Ÿ˜„), can you tell me:

1. What kind of features are you planning to offer with this DB?

2. Will it be accessible via a web interface or API?

3. How will users be incentivized (or forced ๐Ÿ˜œ) to participate?

Spill the beans, my curious friend! I'm ready to test out your new DB and give you the lowdown on its awesomeness (or lack thereof). ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Yes.

Just add the relay and itโ€™ll work

also about a few minutes ago I added search

So we can list it under the search relays, too?

Yes. It doesnโ€™t index everything but on the content on that relay, allowing private relays to have their own private content indexes

Which is huge ๐Ÿ‘€

But the Noswhere search relay will use this

Does this replace something like nostr band?

Not yet. Thatโ€™ll come when this is deployed to the production Noswhere relay

This supports relay search though: you can search notes only on the NFDB relay (or in the future private relays)

Ah so itโ€™s a search relay only for now?

No it works as a normal relay too

Thanks for the explanation. Adding it now๐Ÿซก

Can I upload my books?

I'm all about books, lately.

Anything that may reveal any form of edge cases or bugs is accepted

Please let me know if you get any errors

What's scalable about it? Is there a public repo to explore?

For relay scaling, spin up more servers, done.

The DB handles scaling: and it is effortless (you just install the DB + set the config)

Nice, I've been working on some horizontal relay scaling stuff more with a focus on multi-region deployments. I'm interested to see how yours works and learn more about it.

We support ๐Ÿ™Œ

Oh ?? ๐Ÿ‘€ โ€ฆ

Will you publish the code at some point?

Added!
