monstr is cool.

2023-02-17 03:20:39 UTC

There was a time when I was probably seeing most of my follow’s content.
But I’ve been out of the loop for a while and paid relays have z̶a̶p̶p̶e̶d̶ taken off.
So I’m probably missing everything now.

I will make sure to note which keys validated as nip05 and mark that somewhere. And any key that I make that is paired with a real key will get a nip05 at my relay. So if the original note is from [email protected] then rewritten note will be from [email protected]@crazy.relay and you'll just trust crazy.relay until you don't.

2023-02-03 01:44:44 UTC

Would you use this relay?
You have to AUTH (which clients support AUTH today?) to post.
I'll scan every known relay out there. If your post shows up anywhere else I'll retract it from this relay so that it is no longer served (notifying you by DM of the retraction).
The only content that will remain is whatever is not posted elsewhere. I.e., only users that use this relay alone as a public relay.

2023-02-02 04:33:18 UTC

You can watch my relay database populate by refreshing: https://nostr-relay.untethr.me/q
Earlier I watched some people playing connect four
Add wss://nostr-relay.untethr.me, post a note, and watch your note show up ⬆️
Hmm thinking I should just render a nice pretty branded global feed with nice pubkey quick copy there instead of db dump— and set a precedent for relays to do this

And trust users more and give normie users more credit.

People can back up data to any and all relays that let them.
They can run their own relays if they need to.
Nostr is amazing.

2023-01-31 01:12:40 UTC

- reply

We need clients and user experiences that expose users to relays so that users can gravity to and “select” relays of quality.
We need this kind of market economy with relays or nostr doesn’t work long term.
We need to stop hiding relays from users.

2023-01-30 02:08:56 UTC

- reply

It is working: https://nostr-relay.untethr.me/.well-known/nostr.json - I think snort is not validating them correctly.

You’re not giving normies enough credit
We had AOL - how did we ever get normies off of that?

Damus recommends relay sets, will soon effectively default/auto-pilot relays.
Where this devolves to is most of user base will have no concept of relays, “I’ve got my client and there’s some backend something out there cool I’m on nostr f the system” - but which devolves into every other standard social platform out there.
Yes we have “portable” identities but I’m not sure portable keys model saves you here … for all intents and purposes.
The nostr vision as I initially read it was relay-centric. This seems to go the opposite way entirely.
Maybe I’m overstating all this.
But we’re in prime early phase here and this seems the time to really embrace the core nostr model not hide it all.

2023-01-28 20:20:04 UTC

Relays have become full blown shameful at this point. Long live nostr.

2023-01-22 13:40:24 UTC

Interesting yes query params are more flexible but the urls less likely to compare “equal” since you can reorder params - that might matter to some places in spec or clients don’t know

2023-01-22 13:19:41 UTC

- reply

To users they would behave identical to regular relays so most use cases that apply to regular relays. Probably other use cases like ephemeral private-ish channel-like experiences. There are pay-for-your-own relay services out there, those are probably doing something similar or at least sharing machine resources across relays.

2023-01-21 23:33:58 UTC

How many active connections? What’s your cpu load / how many cores? I serve about 200 concurrent and I’m about 20-30% of one core/vcpu. Majority of load is reads; sqlite shouldn’t balk at concurrency—using separate db just means you’re shifting some compute over to your database cores.

yeah i'd be happy to scale based on payment but also there's this weird gray area between actually running a viable business and hobbying this out on tips or micropayments or whatever. i like some kind of peering approach because then i could participate without having to do either of these

2023-01-14 20:46:03 UTC

- reply

Yeah, agreed generally what you're saying. I'm doing this for fun. I wouldn't be able to develop the relay code I'm working on without actually operating a relay with some kind of load, so I'll put a cap on connections or data some point like others are doing.

No at that point your phone itself will be Damus

I’ve seen profiles flip-flop like that across other clients.
Updating relays is kinda tricky for clients to get right.
When you remove relays, a good client should first write to the profile with the full set of removals to all removed relays.
When a client reads profiles, it should make sure it caches the created-at timestamp and always let newest win.
Any latencies to get latest profile will also make your experience wonky.

Do you see a lot of limit-less firehose queries? I’ve been thinking about auto-limiting users/clients that request the same big query repeatedly.

2023-01-04 23:45:12 UTC

- reply

I’ve been thinking relays should be able to redirect clients to download older (and compressed) event data from “firehose” subscriptions (i.e. [.., {}]) from a different url/endpoint — which could then be cdn cached etc.

2023-01-04 23:40:30 UTC

- reply

😎 how many active users? do you fulfill limit-less subscriptions fully (i.e. all of history?)

2022-12-24 01:56:13 UTC

Yeah -untether’s /q endpoint is really just for human admin/operator observability but should it be an restish api :thinking:

I might move to support https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/2fa78a8097745139be5299c9f6117049f7d4a074/22.md but only restrict far-future events. At the end of the day, though, I don't see how clients can't avoid having to deal with future events....

But other clients will display all of the room chatter in users timelines potentially dominating it

2022-03-07 21:18:24 UTC

- reply

Nice!
Wonder if I should try some first class support for this
If user tells the client that an event represents a room then it can give a separate chat experience that’s more like Slack/telegraph
Keeping the lists out of the customary timeline

2022-03-07 17:11:30 UTC

But anyway- wonder if there has been thought to replacing Telegram w/ first-class nostr client?

2022-03-07 17:11:05 UTC

- reply

Only consequence is that your followers will see all of your chats in the room unless your client elides them. (Not sure what it could use to decide to elide them...without introducing some new nip/rule.) 4/

2022-03-07 17:09:25 UTC

- reply

Client can give first-class treatment to the "room" by having a more immediate chat experience (instead of this infrequent click-to-reply ux). 3/

2022-03-07 17:08:49 UTC

- reply

Everyone adds the room as an "identity" to the client, which will show all messages with a "p" tag. (There are no "follows" at all.) Client can add a "p" tag for each message in the room. 2/

2022-03-07 17:07:48 UTC

This desktop client is pretty snappy. Probably this has been discussed before. But public Telegram-style chatrooms could be had just be creating a new identity to represent the room 1/

- on left you can add many identities- one will have focus and you'll see its timeline
- rn the whole thread is shown in the timeline - and a thread is sorted into timeline by its latest reply
- the end-to-end latency is fast!
