Well, sure it is much faster tho i believe 😄
Oh, so it is like Delegated PoW service. Any suspicious users can be redirected to your service to do PoW to make them whitelisted on certain relays?
Same, we can probably see it in near future. Especially when adoption of new users increase rapidly. Honestly, client with gossip model discovery like https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip + fully implementarion of NIP-65 will alleviate some burden of relays
How much faster (Hashes per seconds) compared to using multi core CPU like you've done before?
I'm also using Mullvad, Sweden server for now. Which relays are blocking you?
Bandaid solutions maybe you can add wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com (to make sure your notes broadcasted)
It is really hard for relay operator, especially for free public relay operator. They will eventually have to face this kind of DoS spam attack which seems to target their performance (bloating database). Even for you as relay operator + data scientists , need a lot of work and patience. 😅
Great works for all you've done
Update:
Not sure if you notice this for now, the attacker seems to start the attack again around Mon Mar 06 20:00:00 2023 UTC - Mon Mar 06 20:30:00 2023 UTC
We can probably call it live test in production 😅
I think you need to discuss this more with #[5] and #[4] . It seems related much with your vision.
Btw, thank you for zaps, you probably need to send more zaps for Vitor and MaxMoney :)
CMIIW, I heard Damus Test Flight is already over quota allowed by Apple thus new users who want to join Test Flight cannot join anymore
Nostr is actually protocol neutral. Anyone can use it freely whatever backgrounds they have. If you looking on global feed, then you can find various people from Bitcoiner (more than 90% probably), ETH User, XMR User, Fediverse User (via Bridge), Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Arabs, various Nationality, and many more. We just need time for more various users diversity :)
If you are looking for some topic then https://nostr.band search feature maybe can help you
You can check list of paid relays here
If you want some opinion, i think currently nostr.wine has offer more than other paid relays. They have multiple servers (Europe, Asia, US) which automatically choosen by your IP address. They also have extra features https://filter.nostr.wine . You can check their sites for more information. :)
Similar discussion, maybe can help

This is for certain cases like if relays want to request some user to do PoW because of users suspicious behavior (indicated to spam)? By default it is not PoW, right?
I remember #[3] request this to #[2]
#[4] should have those spam filter script. He/she implemented it on nostr.mom and nos.lol
I noticed this a bit comes from relay.nostr.band and other several relays. Didn't have screenshots, Amethyst shows the events around 65000±
Tea, Bread, Light Noodles :)
You need to upload your image into image hosting service like imgur.com , nostr.build , void.cat , imgbb, or many other sites. You can copy image link (.jpg, .png, .gif ) and paste it to your profile settings.

Additional Technical Explanation:
Yes, latest Amethyst v0.24.0 show them in user profile page
Which relay comes from who got attacked?
