But this applies only to users that don't have another relay configured right? Even primal allows to set your own relays, although I'm noticing my relays show "red" staus most of the time on primal...without any indication what the problem is, other clients connect to my relay list just fine. Not sure what the deal is here...
I don't think you can ever fully trust any app, especially If they use phone numbers for login. But signal is quite safe, even if someone would spoof your phone number, they don't see your chat history. One must become a programer and inspect the code to know for sure 😅
True, I think it worked 1 time out of around 20 times I needed it 🥲
Just wait, it will show itself :)
It works now 🤙 do you have the code to run the blog public somewhere?
Where can I check it out? turiz.space does not resolve...
Would you write the code yourself? Or use an existing solution? I'm also looking for something like this...
Yes, how would you do that?
One of my favorite podcasts, I had to split the listening to two days, but I made it 🫡
That sucks :) Did you come across a home miner that would be silent? I still use some of the old Antminer U2 USB miners, those were great, but more of a joke now with 1.6GHs
put this bigass heatsink and pwm fan on my #nmaxe so its nice and quiet. The deafult configuration was way to loud. How is the #bitaxe in this regard, is it loud? Didn't get my hands on one yet? #solomining #mining #bitcoin https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/546b924fb57b1b3b243092465a74333f536e18bf46ec63fdbc732d6b5719729d/e0678a005284645091a9ad9be3ef51cf6e67709cc5c19202a6beee44d38ce35b.webp
Its normal for us humans to not understand this well, we are dealing with extremely large numbers, its difficult to imagine how difficult mining is today...
In my opinion, the large miners aren't that involved in the Bitcoin scene, its an industry, for them its just a profit making deal, they don't get involved in the politics, they don't care much if mining gets more centralized unless it gets so centralized that it causes the price of Bitcoin to reflect that concern, then they might move.
But in the end, if I have a huge mining farm, and I distribute the hashrate into smaller pools, for the public it might look decentralized, but in reality I am maybe controlling 70% of the hashrate, just distributed around, so it looks decentralized. So we really don't know exactly how decentralized it is + its a flow, it changes all the time, today it might be very decentralized, tomorrow not anymore...
And one more to make you think: all these solo blocks, maybe its a huge mining farm, that got paid by the chip manufacturers, to mine for a few hours a day to a random address, that then looks like some bitaxe found the block. A good way to unload some obsolete ASIC chips you have in stock and sell them at a high price. These home solo devices are usually way overpriced for their performance. Its unlikely, but possible, we will never know 😉
It would be amazing, but if you do the math, for example, you have one antminer S21 that does 470TH at 5000W.
Solo, your chances right now are roughly finding a block in 35 years with that hashrate.
Lets say power per kWh costs you 0.10$ (which is unreal cheap, but just as an example). That amounts to about 360$/month of electricity cost.
So are you willing to stake, for the next 35 years, about 150.000$ (360 x 12 x 35) for electricity for "maybe" finding a block?
Or would you rather join a pool and get regular payouts, so you can pay the electricity bill?
That 150.000$ has to come from somewhere, you need to have a job or something to cover that cost, for 35 years, to maybe find a block...
So solo is all good with bitaxes, burning maybe 20W - what the bitaxe consumes in month, you burn that or in one hair drying session. So its like a rounding error. But once you get some more mining equipment, it doesn't really scale well cost wise.
I think we need pools, just better pools, more p2p, more open...etc. Solo is fun, but it wont happen IMO...
I started out with #nostr-rs-relay, now I switched to #nostream. I then tried to setup two identical nostream relays and setup mirroring between the two, but that failed, too difficult to debug, nothing useful in the logs... And the documenation is not clear on how to do that anyway.
Also I tried to setup a cloudflare proxy, but that failed as well, not sure why, I have ws enabled...
So in general, what I notced is, its very easy to get any relay up and running (via docker + nginx + letsencrypt), but anything else, managing the relay, managing the spam...etc, its just not that well documented, you have to be a postgres wiz and write your own stuff. Or am I missing something 😅
I agree, but at the same time, I don't think its completely black/white. Me sending you 10sats from walletofsatoshi right now is an "ok" solution for this purpose, its not ideal, but its "ok"-ish.
Going a bit crazy with setting up a relay for #nostr 😅
SIT #ftw 😅
Tnx for the info. Any hint on which relay software supports 51 and 17 out of the box? I would try to self host...
#asknostr Any good writeup on nostream relay out there, especially on the mirroring part.
I setup a paid admission relay, but will setup a second one for redundancy.
So related to this, is there an easy way to sync the allowed npubs between two nostream relays? I want to allow access to a user to both relays, when he pays the admission on one of them. Mirorring is for syncing the events, not the npubs, if I understand correctly.
