Testing Something. Please Ignore.
Sadly I upgraded my server today and have decided to no longer run the stryfry relay…for now.
Focusing on running the most performant relay possible; and I’ve selected Nostr-rs-relay for the job.
It is public, but does require NIP-05 verification to publish.
I will be experimenting with various spam filtering, and have plenty of headroom in my server to grow 🤙🏼
Try it out @ wss://rs.nostr-x.com
Oh man, really wish I could edit 😅
I’ve decided to stick with a single relay moving forward. Moving forward I was operate only wss://rs.nostr-x.com as a public relay.
Nostr-rs-relay is 🔥
My relays are going to be down for a while. Upgrading my server and reconfiguring.
Learn to self-host everything you can!
Node. Relay. Media Server. Website etc.
Yes, if Twitter implemented lightning in the same way it would still be actual #Bitcoin. It doesn’t matter who implements it.
Not Your Relay, Not Your Notes. #Nostr
Relays are too confusing right now. We have to do better.
My pleasure.
Feel free to add the relays that I am operating if you wish, I will whitelist you on the private relay. That one (running strfry) I have streaming to/from a few larger relays, so you can reduce the number of relays your client connects to. That in turn should provide a faster experience on all clients.
Private (Invite Only) - wss://strfry.nostr-x.com
Public - wss://rs.nostr-x.com
Paid relays are almost always pay to publish, but you can still connect to them without that privilege.
Clients don't care what relays you use, and for the most part will carry over to other clients if you publish them (this can be done on Iris.to manually, or apps like Damus do it automatically.)
I am still highly skeptical of the paid relay concept. I certainly understand why it exists, but I think it has a long ways to go. Not to mention, relays and managing relays is not an easy thing to understand. Even with quite a bit of study, I am still not 100% certain how to guide someone on how to best use or select their relays.
I rarely look at price. The benefit is that when I decided to look today after seeing a lot of comment about a drawdown, I was actually thrilled with how much it had gone up. 🤷🏻♂️
I like Primal just fine, but find myself always coming back to Iris.to
Hmmm, I should be able to get around to whitelisting everyone in no time. Literally.
🤣
GM, I will start whitelisting pubkeys to wss://strfry.nostr-x.com this week.
To get added to the waitlist:
- Follow me
- Reply to this note
- Zap any amount
This relay is streaming from a number of other large relays, and is consistently in the top 10 events per relay (currently #7). You can add it without being whitelisted to pull events, but you must be verified to publish.
I will be experimenting as things evolve to provide the best possible experience. This is not a "paid" relay. The reason for requiring a zap is for verification purposes only.
Lastly, I also run wss://rs.nostr-x.com which is a public relay. That relay is public, and only requires NIP-05 verification to publish. Does not stream events as it is running nostr-rs-relay (rust).

GM, let’s get after it 🔥

Hard Agree. Verify yourself through proof of work.
For $65 this Civivi Elementum Button Lock II is an absolute banger!
✅ Rock Solid Construction
✅ Great Action
✅ Beautiful Finish
✅ Great Button Lock
Going to EDC this thing for a few weeks and see how it holds up. Initial impressions are 👌🏼

The landscape is ever shifting at this point. I’m trying to work out a good way to add people to my “private” streaming relay, I don’t want to make money on it. I just want real people. Paywalls work to keep out garbage.
Would like a way to instead paywall with proceeds going to a project I care about, simply for verification purpose.
GM & PV - Focus on selflessness today
