Ping on European relays are approaching 1 second. Overall network congestion? Isn't this sleepytime for Europe?

Week 3? Of me monitoring the start of #zapathon with #relaymetrics

Still no big benefit to paid relays. Publics seem to outperform during #zapathon madness

I see #Nostr as the intersection of a lot. And it's decentralized so I can be moved from my mission.

Just read this. https://andreneves.xyz/p/the-rise-of-paid-nostr-relays

Great synopsis npub1rvg76s0gz535txd9ypg2dfqv0x7a80ar6e096j3v343xdxyrt4ksmkxrck

#zapathon data usage: 550mb in less than half an hour according to my VPN. #zapstats

I've been pinging #paid #relay operators to help them pump their relay subscriptions. No one responded, which means:

WE ARE EARLY

I'd rather be early than late. DM me if you want others to know more about your relay.

Ephemerelay is a Nostr relay implemented in about 100 lines of code

"There are all kinds of possibilities for complex networking setups with Nostr. An ephemeral relay can transmit data to clients, who can in turn transmit events to fully-qualified relays that actually store things. Alternatively, you can just use it to chat with your friends who are online.

The biggest benefit is not caring about storage space, not caring about spam, and not caring about cost. At least not in this context. That's someone else's job."
