how much is the yearly gym membership for y’all?

been hearing hella different numbers from my foreign friends

852,108 sats for a yearly 24/7 gym membership here

the "gossip" model should be renamed

gossip means too many things, not the least, a (superb) nostr client

It'll take as much as you give it for caching.. the thing is it's hard to tell because relays don't tend to be very busy unless you really have a huge amount of users.. for nostr21.com I have maybe 100-200 simultaneous connections and it's no where near maxing the machine out (8 gig ram, 4 vcpu vps). It's been running for months but the adoption is a slow ramp. Database on disk is only about 8 gig (running since November 2022), 3 gig when dumped to json.

Or PoW is another option 🤷

Everyone should run their own relay ! We need easier set ups for the noobs..

I think I have an 8gig stick laying around

If you could find something like this but 8 gigs ram, that'd be decent.

You won't need a very large machine. Strfry is insanely efficient. I'd go for disk io over size. Notes don't use much space. You will probably end up running something even cooler like a primal instance or maybe even a search provider if you get a really fast machine (just to give it something to do).

if i get enough zaps i'll use them to run a fast relay out if my own house. At that point the only cost should be electricity and I should be able to run it indefinitely.

Maybe a 4tb hdd? Strfry, and make it free? Just some thoughts

I’m saving up for same but I want to learn the curation game a bit better here because I won’t relay illegal content.

There is some sort of reporting mechanism here and I used it to flag some I’ll stuff on global. But it’s a black box for me now.

How much do you need?

Barbie movie was amazing. No notes.
