I Hope covid stops next year 2024...

现在我住在西班牙。我在2009去北京学习艺术。I AM SORRY IF SOMETIMES I AM WRITING WRONG!

是的。我是西班牙人!你哪国人。 我很高兴认识你

你好👋你们在干什么。我爱nostr。我开行学习汉语和我在北京住了学习艺术了。 Practicando el idioma chino en NOSTR. Es posible que algun amigo chino responda a mi mensaje?! Es posible que algún relay tenga auto bloqueo si escribes en chino? No lo creo.

How to convince my friend @npub1ygx8gf4ke3g30cwpc42wma0w7w3suax7fftzk4awwtqdnl0mquyssw36aa to keep using nostr !! He said he sees a lof of spam but I am using iris.to and public realys and I don't think the same... What nostriches do you said!?

Try to connect to nostr relay servers in serious countries with jurisdiction You can lookup ip hostnames before connect... if you connect to relays in China or Rusia..... Chinese people said there are government owned relays... I don't believe it but everything could be....

Jaja vamos a ver si es verdad que estás tan adicto: lightning:lnbc1u1p375766pp5uwz8r4mhzd8y63spxkdwwtzley5ukstmwx7fms6ucay07pppec8sdp4ge5kuctwvd5kzu3qfe84x4zjypex2mrp0ysx2m3qv4ehqcwrk9hkccqzpgxqyz5vqsp5nyvuy7zwrnhtzu9fwaaw539zase7zn09rwt4uh6x72m0umrd7tkq9qyyssqvx8e2g3kn65jydkvlh2zpepm9eph30yahs70lqr6yjr5x5yu7ckknmgna6vtdrxcv5n9skwnhrsawnqvq296u725nkxl3wnq3u95lpcqsdzn47

Are Paid Relays a Shitcoin?

Last night on Nostr Spaces, we discussed potential implications of paid relays. I believe we Nostriches all understand that paid relays are needed for 1) to pay for the service that we're using as nothing should be free 2) relay operators need funds to pay for relay hardware infrastructure and 3) to thwart spammers.

#[0] said that he thought that paid relays were Shitcoins. What did he mean?

With a Shitcoin, anyone can create one. There is no Proof-of-Work in this process. The creator makes promises about their current offerings or future offerings. And lastly, they want payment and take user's money.

#[1] mentioned that he believed paid relays should operator on a Web-of-Trust model. What does this mean?

Do you know the relay operator? Do they have an older or well known Nostr public key? Did they previously run a free relay? Do reputable people use and recommend this relay? It's fairly easy now to form a Web-of-Trust with well known actors in this space and community.

As we move forward, we do need to watch for scams. A relay and operator could appear out of nowhere. A relay could promise the moon on speed and resources. That relay and relay operator could also disappear in a day or a week or a month, after they've reached their fund raising goal.

Right now, using Nostream to operate a paid relay at least requires a ZBD developer account. This is right now behind a gatekeeper. #[2] needs to approve relay API access. This will get easier in the future. In the future, Nostream will work with other providers and I would assume even end up working with your own node. In the future, we'll need to be more diligent when choosing paid relays.

Start building your Web-of-Trust now.

At first I think the same that is you need backup of your personal events.
