WELCOME BACK! #[0]

please stick around this time 🥹☺️🥰

exactly. right now WoS and Nostr users are mainly just bitcoin nerds anyways, we're fine with it. it's better to annoy us, than the normies who don't know any better

Nostr really brought Wallet of Satoshi down. Their infra is crying for help!

It's fine, this is a good problem to have, and it's good we encounter this now. Imagine 1000x this traffic under mass adoption! 👀

ahhhhh so nostrgram indexes them in a middle layer, and client fetches from nostrgram?

even this is good though actually, if nostrgram is shielding its' users from this

imo, no client should ever show a message that isn't sig verified. but in nostrgram's case: it fits my ask, considering it has a middleware layer ☺️

are nostr clients doing some type of signature verification for messages received from relays?

reason i ask; if a popular relay is hacked: what is to prevent an attacker from flooding that relay's subscribers with counterfeit messages?

WoS implementing zaps just accelerated it 10x immediately

there is no central server for all the messages you see here. there are many (relays).

anyone can own a relay. anyone can connect to any relay.

every interaction here is a "message". posts, profile edits, likes, follows, etc.

relays and clients adopt a standard (nostr NIPs), to aggregate and present those messages in a way we can visualize.

that is it!

#[0] is goated for adding zap support

use a paid relay 🥳
