or never present. too busy of the what if and what could have!
If we want Nostr to truly protect privacy and resist censorship—like when X faced a government ban—we need to stop relying on relays with known IPs or domain names.
We need encrypted traffic between clients and servers by default. That means Tor (and networks like I2P and Nym) should just work right out of the box, ideally without leaving the mixnet where traffic could be exposed at the exit node.
💡 A lot of relay operators are already running Tor onion services, which is awesome—but we need to make them easier to discover and use. If a public relay becomes unavailable, we should be able to switch to the Onion service version seamlessly.
What do we need to do to make this happen? First, it’s about getting Nostr relay software to publish the Onion address when it’s set up. Then, it’s about getting clients to handle alternative transports like Tor or I2P natively, letting users choose between IP (TCP/IP), Tor, or other options.
We could also explore mapping DNS records to onion addresses or including the info in HTTP headers. But maybe the most straightforward approach is extending NIP-11 to include alternate transport details so that everything's baked into the protocol.
What do you all think? How can we push this forward? Let’s brainstorm and figure out the best way to support these privacy-preserving networks and keep Nostr resilient. I think we need Tor support in native clients where users can turn it on with a single click. Or maybe even have it attempt Tor as a fallback when the normal way of connecting fails.
This isn’t a big change current relay info ospec here: NIP-11 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/11.md
I get the part we need privacy by default. my only question how do we mitigate that using tor can be slow 🤔
good luck 🤣 what I've learned most often than not clients do not always know what they want. 😬😬😬😬
Recommendation which platform is good for streaming?
Thanks for this. I was going to invest on it and this saved me! U rock! 💪👏
🌟 I've noticed that when someone feels the need to constantly brag about their achievements, it often reveals an underlying inferiority complex. Seeking validation through accomplishments can sometimes mask deeper insecurities.
On the flip side, there are those who work quietly in the shadows, driven by a genuine desire to help and serve a higher purpose. They don’t seek recognition; their actions speak volumes about their commitment to humanity.
Let’s celebrate the unsung heroes who make a difference without the need for applause. True greatness lies in humility and the impact we have on others, not just in the accolades we collect. 🙌💖

💔 I've come to realize that the intensity of someone's anger and hate often reflects their capacity for love. It's a powerful reminder that behind every outburst lies a story of hurt, disappointment, and unfulfilled loyalty.
When I see rage or anger in others, I try to remember that it often stems from a place of deep love that has been let down. Instead of responding with more anger, I do my utmost to approach these moments with empathy and understanding.
Next time you encounter someone in turmoil, take a moment to consider the love that may be hidden beneath their pain. Let's spread compassion instead of judgment. 💖✨

🌟 Maturity isn't just a number—it's a journey shaped by our experiences! 🌱✨
While society often equates age with wisdom, true maturity comes from the lessons we've learned, the challenges we've faced, and the growth we've achieved along the way. It's about how we respond to life's ups and downs, how we treat others, and our ability to reflect and adapt.
So, let's celebrate the unique paths we all take! Whether you're 18 or 80, remember that every experience contributes to your maturity. Embrace your journey and keep growing! 💪❤️

Remove the relay. I did it on mine and it's fone now
The only word familiar to me is entanglement 🤣😅
I removed the relay that has the spam and it is gone now on mine 🤞
I read it from the Simplex website hence, I was asking.
awesome. it is align to what I know. Now it makes sense what you mean. 😀
