Not at such a low rate of donations. Grants seem to only go to devs doing frontend clients. Not many support the infrastructure those clients use. π
# Relayable Updates from July 2023
## Donations and Overhead Costs
**For July 1st-31st**
Average of **89,323** unique users per relay location
Transferred an average of **2TB** per relay location (see attached image)
Operating Costs **$1123.32**
Donations **194,182 sats ($57.14 USD)**
We currently have 3 relays donated to us which helps but we continue to scale to meet demands.
We have added the `zbd.gg` relay to list we stream from.
Blocked additional airdrop spam accounts and pleased with the spam filtering efficiency.
Our LMDB database (sync'd at each relay location) has passed the 40GB mark in size
We are continuing to improve the service.
Thanks to everyone for their support!
We need to NIP this in the bud. #nostr
The more we relay the more excited we get. So at this point we are REALLY excited! π
UPDATE: We are currently resolving an issue with our Australia (AU) relay that has a hard drvie going bad which was causing high I/O and corrupted data. It is not in the DNS pool and should not impact end users unless you have cached DNS. Will update once it is back in the relay pool. We keep all of our DNS TTLs to 60 seconds.
Working on gathering our July statistics to share with everyone. π€
nostr:npub16fcy8ynknssdv7s487nh4p2h4vr3aun64lpfea45d7h4sts9jheqevshgh is your relay down? From Asia it shows as down, just an FYIπΆπΎπ«‘
Strange. We only have AU relay out of DNS pool due to HD going bad. Should not impact unless hardcoded in that subdomain for it.
Agreed. Zero to Virtual Conference in two days. nostr:npub1tpy5sj0wc4txn8fdx02y7lrq33yxmwcrupfgw9jxzunmf9ypfhhs837gzc π€π«π

Syncing public relays on my own node. Woo hoo. Thanks nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct πππ»
We support the sync. π€
We know the feeling. But ask and you shall receive! π€
Would love to explore some other options to help insure users can access #nostr ππ« #grownostr #fightcensorship #plebchain #relayable
