I'm not too sure actually on specific metrics but anything that would give me insights into what is going on so that I can react and improve.
Nostr is trending on Google in China!

I've been running nostr-rs-relay since the very start but it doesn't have support for data collection/analysis AFAIKø
Doesn't grow too fast so pretty sustainable for me at least. Couldn't onboard the entire Twitter user base though
Would be cool to have data on this, did he mention how he got it? Is there a relay implementation that has support for tracking this?
It is! Check out NIP-09: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/09.md
Like reads to the disk? No.. I suck at monitoring tbh, I just got a Grafana/Redis setup up this week that monitors the VM. Still trying to figure out how to best monitor everything.
Thanks but I don't want to rely on Cloudflare tbh. Trying to set up a more self sovereign stack without any 3rd parties.
I want to set one up but not going to have time to do that atm. Maybe you could set one up?
TOR is also painfully slow, UX isn't going to be great if you want to load as much data at the current clients does I believe.

I’ve been runnning a free and open relay at wss://nostr.oxtr.dev since Apr 22. It’s a free and relatively popular relay so there’s more spam on it compared to some of the paid ones.
tbh, I just want to have a LN address that points to my own node. I want to make my own LNURL server soon but until that happens I want to use BTCPayServer to get an address that points to my own node
