I have stopped posting art I make on twitter!Now only on #nostr !

Ah yes. #[5] is working on it, due to his latest update. He will let us know once he tests it himself. I am on the previous version (i can't update yet). He is aware of the issue.

My repo is set to public. Try that and redeploy.

Address should look like [alphanumeric].up.railway.app. You can change the alpha numeric part by editing and just putting Nakadai or your name. To change the full name i added CNAME records on my domain DNS. It has been propagating for 3 days, so not yet sure here but i will know more soon.

How many relays do you have? What's your performance like?

For me, I have 18 relays now. Snort and Amethyst are extremely slow for me. I get a lot of lag and the experience is just not very fun to be honest. This is a change for me on Amethyst. As a native app, it was extremely fast until yesterday.

I am considering moving to mostly paid relays, but the problem with this is that we don't know the relay's hardware specs. We could be paying for a relay that runs on a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to pay for relays with large resource pools, not just a relay that's green and new as this could change in a week.

Shill me your relays.

After a full day of research on the subject, I can now easily conclude that running a relay via Nostream is the easiest and most adapted solution to scale relays and help with adoption.

Limited technical knowledge is required as i could do it myself and will most certainly help to further decentralize relays and support Nostr.

I think everyone should run a Nostream relay today. Follow these steps:

Is there an easy way to identify which paid relays you have paid and if it’s actually working?

Nothing, I just don't like how much market share they have lmao

After evaluating #Nostr for a week, here are the top 4 things I want to see focused on in order to take this promising alpha to a beta state.

#1 - Spam/porn prevention; clients and potentially relays should come with good defaults that filters out spam and porn. Users should have to go hunt for private relays that offer porn instead of being blasted with it in day to day relays. Paid relays, especially pay-per-event relays could play a big role here.

#2 - Data retention/self hosting; metadata is "backed up" via relays and cached to some extent in clients; users need a way to guarantee their own content is backed up. I see self-hosting on Start9/Umbrel/etc as an easy way to get this practice started.

#3 - Relay affinity/horizontal scaling; when a follow posts to relays you don't subscribe to, then their content is effectively nonexistent. To prevent the popularisation of massive centralized relays, clients need a standardized way to automatically peek into the relays of their follows. This will allow #Nostr to stay maximally decentralized.

#4 - Cold storage; pasting private keys into apps is great for this alpha stage, but we need an easy way to generate keys offline and then lease out access to our clients for a given time period (1 day/1 week/1 month). Luckily the #[0] folks are having a look at this.
