migrating to georelays on bitchat. find the closest relays for any one geohash and use them instead of the big default ones.

hopefully this will inspire more relay ops to accept kind 20000 and better distribute relays globally (we need more smaller ones).
Discussion
Some relays are behind the VPN so it may not work perfectly here for the geohash
Running bitchat on a personal relay for a group chat would be dope. Whitelist npub to remove spam. Kind of a pain to do but no different than a sign up or invite code for other things.
Georelays will fuck with bitchat allowing stalking and censorship, and will even allow targeted DDoS attacks, bringing down the entire infrastructure according to geolocation. You guys are dumb.
There's nothing cypherpunk about your stupidity, nor do you adopt Tor or I2P for user anonymity, thus ending anonymity even when exchanging keys. Have you heard of the NSA's Project Turbine? Not even public chats are end-to-end encrypted, allowing mass interception. You're not doing this out of laziness. Using geo-referenced relays instead of everything else is the biggest stupidity I've ever read. Learn to listen to Vitor Pamplona, you idiot.

A relay in every local community nostr:npub1tampasjf5z0rllvrh8nlqckrjtzzj9590uljzeuu6ymsr8hq9pjsrw0ynt
Pair of dimes
On it!
Any relay implementations accept that kind currently?
Small relays over big defaults. No rulers, just rules 😏.
🚀🚀
Teach us, is there any dedicated pages that instruct one how to use bitchat and set up a relay?
I was thinking about setting one up with a starlink in a sprinter van for travel... realistically would that work as a mobile nostr/bitchat realy?
And another thing, I am interested in a bitchat/nostr only phone hardware device, if this becomes a reality, could each device be a node/relay in a giant decentralized edge compute system?
Can we have more dialogue and less name calling, that would be great
It's funny that you give shit about spam on bitchat app but not on bitcoin.
Why don't you make it easy for anyone to spam in bitchat since it's impossible to STOP the spam? Why would you even reduce the spam in your bitchat if you can't fix it? Maybe legitimate use case of bitchat will fix the spam issue on bitchat?
At least that's what you think about spam on Bitcoin right?
it's not funny, if you would stop being emotional, you would understand
Please explain why addressing spam on Bitchat matters and spam on bitcoin doesn’t?

oh god here we go again. are you serious or just trolling? cos it doesn't sound as smart as you think it does.
I’m not trying to ‘sound smart’ since I am not at all smart with this stuff lol. And yes I am serious, can you briefly explain?
Sure! First of all, I do care about Bitcoin spam. I'm just not very concerned about its impact on Bitcoin because Bitcoin protect itself with transaction fees. Second, I do believe that attempts to filter transactions are technically. We have empirical proof for this. Third, deciding which transactions are good or not is a centralizing force. It's like censorship which requires a ministry of Truth, or ad block lists that require someone to create this lists. We don't want that.
I'm happy that so many people really do care about Bitcoin. But there are actors in the space that have rallied up. Many people to be extremely angry about a non-issue. That's something that the enemies of Bitcoin will abuse. Hope it clarifies at least a little bit.
Per usual nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7gupfx4 has a pretty reasonable take on current events
Less spam... how ironic 🤡
Btw, any recommendation on relay packages? Strfry seems to be popular? Thanks!
This is the way
