My experience with with those connections is still far too low for give meaningful configurations.
If disable them is a viable option for you, i suggest you to try. Your peers count should get higher (i assume by default those was active for privacy)
More reliable know peers will for sure help with the speed. I think you might have problem with the Tor and I2P connections.
More details required: You want suggestion for container engines, or images to use as honeypot? Also, a honeypot for what
The RaspberryPi from 4 onwards is a good choice (at least 8Gb ram suggested)
"Nostr" is the protocol used for comunicate. Applications like #Amethyst implement the Nostr protocol.
The Nostr protocol define how image/videos can be sended and to who for let clients like #Amethyst to see them. Hope it was what you seek
TxID is used by the Bitcoin transactions. Since your have used the Lightning Network, chance are you the bot was bugged or the employee not trained.
Depending on your needs, moving bitcoins with the lightning network will help in timeframe with fees
Unnecessary, useless, generic and obscure goal. Just rumor to ignore
Not possible. You can know the size of channels, but not how much are allocated to nodes
Transactions on LN aren't public as for on-chain transactions, but a node can only see the ones it routes and the the one from/to itself
Because its, there are not reliable data around
Yes. The relay should never contact other relays and allow only the key of the people you want them join
No tutorials to give, but you can check the LDK if it suit your needs:
https://lightningdevkit.org/blog/ldk-an-sdk-for-the-lightning-network/
Also, you can give a look to the source code of some non-custodial #Lightning wallet like #Zeus and #Breez
Speaking of space taken, i have no experience with a #Nostr relay (yet), but i know the #Bitcoin ledger will use a total of 1TB in the next 3 years, which should help when plan an upgrade
#Nextcloud, if you run your self-hosted #Nextxloud instance
#Bitcoin is scarce for the Earth planet.
All nodes have 10 minutes for have the ledger synced, which means this is the time the new block have to travel to all the nodes
This distance is trivial within Earth, but it became a problem with interplanetary distances
The avarage distance beetwen Earth and Mars is 12-13 light minutes, so a #Bitcoin node on Mars will be always chase the sync never reaching it. This is a big problem, because while you CAN make transactions with a non-synced ledger, you CANNOT do mine operarions
For today technology, the heart of #Bitcoin will be on Earth, and other extra worlds settlements might try to use new cryptocurrencies (but, remembet that those currencies will not have the advantage to grow organically)
With a lightning node, you won't need Alby. Your node will have its address
All lightning nodes have a lightning address, which is PUBKEY@ADDRESS:PORT
What you wont have is a human readable address like MYNAME@GETALBY.COM (you can configure it but require extra work)
For NIP stuff, i would suggest to check https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips
If a blockchain can sustain the traffic created by people zapping eachother, that blockchain have probably really big large size blocks and cannot be sustainable in the long term
It is in your right choose when not let anyone where you are sending money
Technically speaking, #Nostr protocol can be expanse with NIP, as the current internet can be expanse using RFC or #Bitcoin throught BIP
So, #Nostr might be expanse for other L1 payment.
However, you can't zap/tip anyone with a L1 chain. Even with #Bitcoin. It's the #LightningNetwork, builded upon #Bitcoin, who can sustain many fast and small payments.
