sakhalin.nostr.1.com and nostr.wine were my best investments, which inspired me to start a relay physically located in Russia (this is the fifth Russian relay, the previous four are not very alive). This turned out to be easier than I thought, but a few difficulties occurred. Can strfry give a bit more information on NIP-11 like "posting policy" or "icon"? nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h can I use your spamblaster without Go skills? ☺️
My relay will be free (because I am not allowed to accept bitcoins for the service under Russian law, not because I don't like sats 😔) and premoderated (this is also due to local realities).
I'll probably use it for a month to test and experiment, and then I'll invite users there.
Which link to the sakhalin relay?
He wants monero privacy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Drivechain is a shitcoin 💩, it is an attack on the bitcoin network.
Good point, come to think of it... you don't own your notes but the #nostr network does.
GM & pure life 🤙
#drivechain is an attack on #bitcoin this is my opinion, if you don't agree then fuck you I don't agree with you either.
It doesn't matter the amount, the important thing is not to be left out. 🤙
I suspect they don't, at least once I reinstalled #amethyst it came back with the default relays
Me too. There's a guy I follow who has a champagne for the 100k party, I don't drink but if bitcoin reaches the 14k range I open a champagne 🍾
Honestly, anyone who is stressed about the price of #bitcoin doesn't recognize its real value and opportunity. For me it stays like this for another 2 or 5 years. 🤙
Many clients don't respect their relays and that's bad 😒
There is no free trial, you have to pay to view.
I believe we still don't have segmented relays, my strategy is to follow affinity and subscribe to the most popular relays, so I'm sure I'll be well fed.
You can go to nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f profile, he has a list of the most popular relays.
I like to test relays, I think I found a good combination. I suggest making a backup first because I lost some followed during the tests.
Summarizing a little my strategy.
nos.lol -> I use it for my personal feed, it's the most popular free relay, everyone wants to be there, it even comes by default in some clients, so I guarantee that I won't lose the notes of who I follow. I also use it as a backup/redundancy if any relay is down.
relay.nostrplebs.com -> is another great paid relay and has some very interesting services, I leave it activated for my global.
nostr.wine -> another very popular paid relay, I also leave it activated for my global.
filter.nostr.wine -> another paid relay, it is an aggregator, bringing notes from the most popular relays and has a great spam filter, turned on global. I leave it enabled for searches too.
relay.nostr.band -> use more specifically for searches.
nostr.mutinywallet.com -> you can't read from this relay, it just sends my notes to different relays.
Note, you don't want to be in too many relays as it will drain your battery, your data plan and your client may slow down.
lol I think that was my longest note. Sorry if I took too long.
