I can't explain it.

Do you want a lot of traffic?

Thanks for bringing this up, here is a chart that's long overdue. Events/pubkeys per relay in the last 7 days.

https://stats.nostr.band/#relay_writers

I can't measure their read-load obviously, but can tell how much events are written. As I expected, the list of top relays by number of events is materially different from list of top relays by contact list. Does this tell you anything new/interesting?

Whoa, I had not seen these stats, they are amazing.

Your right to speech doesn't include a right to have others listening to you if they don't want to, just that.

#[0] what client(s) are you using?

cargo install nostcat

People must stop making names that have "nostr" or "str" or "nos" in them, this is starting to get confusing.

TO WHOM DOES THE GIFT BELONG

One day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him, hurling all kinds of rude words at him, intended to ridicule and demean him.

The Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”

Stay Classy Nostr.

Every day there is a mention to be on this report and I am always saying the same thing.

If you really think that why are you here?

This is ridiculous.

I guess along with rate-limiting and other measures free and open relays must have a very strict event deletion policy -- i.e. delete everything that is 7 days old.

Is it correct to say that the most famous 25 relays are being basically DDoSed all the time while the other 900 relays are seeing very little traffic?

One advantage of https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/158 over NIP-26 for key security is that it only requires a single app to monitor key invalidations and update your list of followed keys for a key to be invalidated/rotated mostly successfully.

While NIP-26 requires all apps and relays to support it for it to work.

However, NIP-26 could work with much less than 100% if it was only used for sporadic delegations for niche use cases, or for grandfathering keys in custodial services.

This could be very interesting: #[0]

How can that be done technically?

The kind 3 relay lists were a mistake from me made in name of getting things working, but that was never specified in any NIP.

The meaning of "read" and "write" in NIP-65 is different though (where is that diagram, #[0]?), although I agree it is confusing. It would have been better to call it "inbox" and "outbox" or something like that as #[1] suggested.

The difference is that other people can follow you directly.

Where on the NIPs is the idea that clients are supposed to use static relay lists? To me NIPs 2, 10, 19, 65 all hint to the fact that clients need to be smarter than just using static relay lists.

Clients (and users) must do a better job helping each other find people and notes on Nostr.

For example, someone just sent me a link like this: https://snort.social/e/note1g459tq3ucft6jz5s7zhhswjtz7h8qlfyf43vmrsu7tfpw800hkesq543gg -- but when I click on it it doesn't show anything. Why? Because Snort has no way to know in which relay this note is. It also doesn't show on https://nostr.guru/note1g459tq3ucft6jz5s7zhhswjtz7h8qlfyf43vmrsu7tfpw800hkesq543gg

But if I convert that to nevent format with the Mostr relay encoded inside then it suddenly works: https://nostr.guru/nevent1qqsy26z4sg7vy4afp2g0ptmc8f930tns05jy6ckd3cw095shrhhmmvcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qe2wps6

It also works on https://coracle.social/nevent1qqsy26z4sg7vy4afp2g0ptmc8f930tns05jy6ckd3cw095shrhhmmvcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qe2wps6

Markdown syntax for links, footnotes and images is definitely not plaintext. The rest is tolerable. Please don't break it for all other clients or force everybody to support a cumbersome and heavy syntax with all the garbage that comes with parsers, plus the indeterminism as there are multiple flavors or Markdown, it's an endless shithole.

Did you know Twitter doesn't have Markdown support?

Next time I show Nostr to someone I'll try Coracle: #[0]

Since there is no global feed there is no risk of accidental porn or worse things.
