Basically per nip-65 each npub should have ~~3 or so write relays.
This means that when you check relay one you might get 30% coverage, second one adds 15% , third 8%… by relay number 20 you’re at ~~~98% coverage.
I think this is the power law.
So the problem for outbox is 1) finding stuff maximally, and 2) doing so in an efficient manner.
If you are pinging 500 relays this is not efficient.
If you are pinging only 8 relays, you are leaving coverage on the table.

Follow packs were a solution in an era of scarce resources, nothing more.
Slightly better than hardcoded npubs.

Core difference is direct mapping in amethyst vs GSC in Wisp.
Neither learns from relay event recall for now (nor does any nostr app today).
Thomposon learning was the biggest discovery in benchmarking outbox for me, and it has a big impact on 1 year old events coverage.

Google, meta, instagram, sloptok, amazon have spent billions of US war shekels and millions of engineering man hours on reducing load time, so that their ADD riddled consumers dont lose patience before the page loads.
Ser @npub1uac…99rx gifted nostr with a spec that helps nostr devs (e.g. implementing outbox) in nip-66 that is benchmarked to reduce load times by about 40%.
Adding nip-66 is tens of lines of code.
If you dont trust third party nip-66 providers, you can roll your own.
By checking which relays are alive/offline/dead before checking relays you dont add complexity - you reduce and manage complexity in your app, as you make app behavior more certain (order of magnitude 1/2 connections to outbox are wasted without nip-66).
Performance matters.
Accept this, and improve the experience for your customers.

#nevent1q…egh7

2026-02-26 06:39:29 CET

More outbox lessons learned for me, maybe useful for #devstr
As far as I know
1. Learned that no nostr app uses nip-66 to check if a relay is alive before firing off requests
2. According to my benchmarks, by implementing nip-66, the relay success rate increases from 30% -> ~~75-85%, meaning fewer connections are wasted on dead relays.
3. Nip-66 is therefore an efficiency improvement, and is not necessarily a coverage guarantee
4. I have not measured time to outbox results yet.
5. No nostr app spot checks what outbox relays return against an independent relay to detect gaps. Nip-66 liveness checks return relay health, but do not verify per-author delivery.
6. Deterministic algos like greedy set coverage cannot be set up with a learning mechanism
7. Stochastic algos like coracle’s are able to implement learning, and benefit significantly - coverage improves the more the app looks up a specific profile
8. The theoretical CS algo I mentioned before (MAB-UCB) algo is not practical
9. 20-44% of follows dont have a kind-10002, which hampers outbox.
From what I’ve seen so far the best starting point is coracle’s stochastic algo, with nip-66, and delivery scoring.

Thanks for taking interest. I will add methodology overview to the readme. To your questions:
1. I extracted the algorithms from nostr outbox implementations to a typescript library.
2. In the TS library we have nostr algos from the real world (e.g. from amethyst, nostrudel, nostur etc)
3. In the TS library we also have the general CS algorithms not yet found in nostr apps
4. The computer science problem of “outbox” maps to “weighted set cover problem” AKA “maximum coverage problem”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_coverage_problem
5. The “winning” algo for long term event retrieval MAB is used in real world applications in online ads, a/b testing https://web.stanford.edu/class/cme241/lecture_slides/MultiArmedBandits.pdf
https://web.mit.edu/6.7950/www/lectures/L15-2022fa.pdf
6. I answer two questions to the above:
Given a npub (e.g. fiatjaf who has 400/whatever follows) run a ~~dozen or so algos
A) “assignment coverage” phase 1(academic/no network ) if every relay is online, and no events are deleted, how many of your follows are reached by this algo?
B) “event recall” phase 2 (real world like/pull events from relays) given realistic conditions of relays being down, events being pruned/deleted, relays gating event retrieval (via auth or otherwise) what are the numbers?
C) given phase 2 above, what happens if we triage relays first via nip-66 liveness monitor events, relays, services like nostr.watch by @npub1uac…99rx
7. I have not gone into a dozen apps to measure in app the outbox results. All of this is done in deno/typescript
8. The real world results are vastly different than the academic ones.
I’m measuring more details on nip-66 - the hypotheses are 1) improved coverage, and 2) drastically reduced number of calls to relays to find the info being sought
