Damn ... I just trashed my image server and lost all my past images.
Oh well, I guess I start again.
GM my fellow nyms.
This is so crazy to see full movies show up in my feed.
Back to school, kids! Fresh off summer break, Wavform is back with episode 11, featuring friendly banter and fantastic jams. Listen now ⚡️🎵 https://wavlake.com/episode/2676a3a0-06e0-4e0a-9f54-222a7fa6c959 
When are you going to have categories for your music so I can find new jams?
GM.
One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.
I think this 40s video will clear all the matters and answer all the criticisms: https://cdn.satellite.earth/8e48f90f4889d6d8def300e9d843b9b353375426212f6b6253a8ee6aaaefcf07.mp4
If anyone doesn't understand or has a problem with this answer, please, I would like to hear it.
Thinking about this post by nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 about the cost of #NOSTR relays.
Relays are web sockets, a server and a client. Web sockets over #NOSTR should be cheap, because notes are broadcast, and when broadcasting notes, sockets are very efficient.
Let's say nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m posts a note to a relay, that relay can BROADCAST that identical note to all it's clients who subscribe to Jack as opposed to sending differing data to all it's clients.
To estimate the potential savings, let's consider a scenario where a web socket server sends 1 KB of data to 100 clients.
Same data to all clients:
Memory: 1 KB (a single copy of the data)
CPU: 1-10% CPU usage (depending on the broadcasting implementation)
Network: 1 KB (a single packet sent to all clients)
Different data to each client:
Memory: 100 KB (100 separate copies of the data)
CPU: 10-100% CPU usage (depending on the packetization and sending implementation)
Network: 100 KB (100 separate packets sent to each client)
In this example, sending the same data to all clients can result in:
99% memory savings (1 KB vs. 100 KB)
90-99% CPU savings (1-10% vs. 10-100% CPU usage)
99% network savings (1 KB vs. 100 KB)
Keep in mind that these estimates are rough, but it makes the point that #NOSTR nodes should be very efficient, and thus relatively cheap in a competitive environment.

Yes, it can always be faster, and when things get faster, you always wonder in retrospect how you got along without the speed.
But I honestly have not had any problem at all with the speed on #nostr.

These guys put on a really nice auction. This one ends in a little over 17 hours.
