Tips for Relays.

Forget about having a thousand and one relays.

The first option is to pay for nostr.wine, it allows you to use the filter.nostr.wine filter. The filter works both requesting events from other relays and sending events to other relays. In case you want to send events to other relays you have to add the relay with the following syntax:

wss://filter.nostr.wine/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true

Reading list:

wss://relay.damus.io

wss://nos.lol

wss://relay.current.fyi

wss://brb.io

wss://nostr.oxtr.dev

wss://relay.nostr.bg

wss://no.str.cr

wss://nostr.mom

wss://nostr.zebedee.cloud

wss://relay.plebstr.com

wss://offchain.pub

Writing list:

wss://relay.damus.io

wss://nos.lol

wss://relay.snort.social

wss://nostr.oxtr.dev

wss://relay.nostr.bg

wss://nostr.fmt.wiz.biz

wss://nostr.mom

wss://nostr.zebedee.cloud

wss://no.str.cr

wss://relay.plebstr.com

wss://offchain.pub

The next special relay is relay.nostr.band. This relay reads events from all relays and applies a spam filter, in the case of writing you only write to relay.nostr.band but it is a good complement to add content to relay filter.nostr.wine as it only requests events from your contacts and your contacts' contacts. It is not clear to me from which relay is requesting the events as the code is not available.

And finally the relay nostr.mutinywallet.com. This relay uses blastr which is a nostr cloudfare worker proxy that publishes to all known relays. Basically what it does is to read the list of online relays from nostr.watch and all events are queued to be executed in batches by another worker that rotates every 30s if there is an event queued, or once a certain amount of events are queued. In this case the relay is write-only.

In short, your relays could be reduced to 4:

wss://nostr.wine

wss://filter.nostr.wine/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true

wss://relay.nostr.band

wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com

With them you save bandwidth and battery, actually filter.nostr.wine in write mode and nostr.mutinywallet are redundant, but I put the two because nostr.mutinywallet.com has more amplitude because it publishes in all the online relays of nostr.watch and also because it has high availability in case of failure of any of the two relays mentioned above.

The same case is applicable in the case of reading for filter.nostr.wine and relay.nostr.band.

So your filtering incoming and blasting everyone with outgoing. Got it

Anybody notice that the quality of content on YouTube has plummeted in the last year or so. I mean it was always on a steady decline but it has just been a cesspool since they released shorts.

There are still nuggets of precious info at the bottom of the algo but you really have to dig deep. There has to be a better way. 💭

In addition to freedom money and freedom communication, the future sovereign individual will require a range of other resources and abilities to counter oppressive governments and corporations. One key factor is access to knowledge and information. Sovereign individuals must have a broad understanding of how power operates, how institutions function, and how they can leverage their own resources to challenge the status quo. This might involve developing expertise in areas such as politics, economics, social psychology, or technology. Additionally, individuals must be able to navigate complex systems, such as legal and regulatory frameworks, to push for change and resist oppression. This might require developing legal knowledge, understanding the intricacies of power relationships, and building networks of allies and supporters.

Another critical element is the ability to take collective action. While individual sovereignty is an important concept, true change is often the result of collective action and mobilization. Future sovereign individuals must be able to work together to build movements, organize protests, and engage in direct action to challenge oppressive governments and corporations. This requires developing skills in leadership, communication, and conflict resolution, as well as the ability to work across diverse groups and communities. Additionally, individuals must be able to build networks of trust and solidarity to support each other and share resources, ideas, and strategies for resistance. By cultivating these abilities and resources, future sovereign individuals can become powerful agents of change, capable of challenging even the most entrenched systems of power and oppression

Saturdays are for stacking some cold stone Sats!

It’s funny how people think that a bank such as Silvergate being under reserved with regards to capital has any effect on the intrinsic or extrinsic value of Bitcoin.. I’ll buy that dip and the ones to come.

Hey - Now is a good time to buy some Bitcoin.

I’d imagine money isn’t his primary motivator.. making a difference and having a legacy is. Zap shows appreciation so I’d say zap away

I’d be down with not seeing anything in relation to a blocked/muted user. I’m note sure I care that they are on the same note thread or have flagged a note.

Not sure he’s realised everything’s being logged and recorded…. Very easy to turn them over to local cops..

No problem my friend! Received with thanks 🙏

Can’t tell. Would seem like the client is cause it’s across multiple relays. That’s a guess though

Would think so yes…
