👨‍💻 software developer 🔒 secure element firmware dev 📨 nostr.land relay all opinions are my own.

dumb as in implementation

they are just a photodiode and a LED/laser, maybe with a DSP chip for the very long distance + 100Gbps with no MPO ones

SFP optics are quite dumb

strike I believe does not use nostr significantly

But you are reading from the caching server which can control what you see and in that case you do not need a relay

Primal has censored content multiple times

Also, running relays at production scale (with nostr.land) costs barely anything even though it is the default in a lot of clients

Not for long. nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr has confirmed they will add a fallback where the client reads directly from relays in the case of a caching server outage.

A caching server is not a bad thing, especially as Nostr grows. Primal will always be the fastest client with the largest user base. The other clients are ugly and slow.

A caching server removes the entire point of having relays. That is why everyone is working on outbox.

they would have done NWC now if they wanted to, but the high spreads on sat sales is just too good ;)

If nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0t0hd0d adds NWC, then I'm wondering if their clients like nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds2g5zx8 would get NWC too? That would be huge for Primal users that use the built-in Primal wallet. They'd be able to use their Primal wallet in a dozen different Nostr apps instantly.

Why would they? VC funded companies don’t give a shit about users

It is 60% cheaper than competing translation services, provides high quality translations, and offers significantly more languages :)
