What privacy concerns (what can a relay see from users connections and posts? IP address etc.)?
How long are relays keeping notes (weeks, months, forever?)
Do Relay's talk/sync with other relays?
Spam
If someone wanted to host their own private relay for backup where are some good resources for the technically adept (well, somewhat adept)?
Any storage and bandwidth stats. Would be super interesting.
With the network growth, how are operating costs holding up? Will we need monthly subscriptions to relays to keep things going in the future?
Hello Worlds!
Nostr is seeing everything from a new perspective.
Or are we just seeing with new eyes?
Oh, and purple. Lots of purple. 💜

Hey, #nostr sup?

And no ads every third post…no ads at all!
Here’s a great video with tips for #midjourney users
Learned a lot!

I like using Affinity Photo vs Photoshop (not that I'm all that great at either), but Affinity Photo files are half the size of .psd
Not an affiliate of Affinity. Just really like the product. It’s also way more affordable than PS.

When your relay is having trouble.

Hey little blue fella. Whoa, what happened?
You don't look so good.
Get better. Take care of yourself, okay?

Cool. So what causes so much data usage? Is it just lots of use or is it unique to how the protocol works?
I just checked my data usage for the blue bird app for the last 30 days, and it was almost zero.
Oh wait. That makes sense.
#[2] reported that many users have profile pics larger than 25MB. If clients pull those images then that would add up quick. See note #[3]
Maybe that’s not it, but most likely contributes if profile pics aren’t cached. Or is it simply lots of relay traffic between client and the relays. #[4] #[5] curious to know your thoughts.
Fun things to work out as this amazing system gets built!
All of this delivered through Nostr?
Hey, this thing may catch on.
Indeed.

Wow. Power Nostr user right there! But seems really high. Is that from the relays communicating with #[2] or is it images, profiles pics, etc that aren’t optimized?
Good Morning, special delivery of notes and stuff.

"Found a great place to hang this."
"But what will company think?"
"They'll think we're brilliant."
"..."
"Also, if I forget to mention Nostr, we've got a reminder right there."
"I love you."

When in doubt, follow the purple path.

#[0] and #[1] and teams, thank you for your work on the Nostr mobile clients!
February is for Nostrs:
"Saint Valentine supposedly wore a purple amethyst ring...Probably due to the association with Saint Valentine, amethyst has become the birthstone of February, which is thought to attract love." 💜
Didn't really know #amethyst was a word until #nostr I always just used “purple.”
Thank you to all who are building, creating, discovering!

Hello, I am training in the #nostr arts.
One day, I aspire to become a master. Until then, mindfulness, dedication, and patience.
