Thinking about renting a bad ass VPS and start running a high performance bitcoin node, LN node and Nostr paid relay all in one place, a “decentralization beacon” in the internet.

Nostr is a garden, and we are the first ones to enter it. Let’s make sure we take care of it with love and responsibility…cause we have been handed an oasis in the desert 💚 it takes no time to spoil it. For me personally, this means NOT engaging with negative notes and npubs. That is my weak spot, on social media as irl. What is the aspect of your social persona that you think needs to be tempered??

I have been thinking about building a small library in python for bitcoin node admins to better monitor connectivity of their node with the network. Something that allows you to visualize on a map all those visible nodes not on Tor you are connected with. This would allow you to work with something like bitnodes to maximize your contribution to the network on basis of a rule of your choice. For example, you could make sure to include nodes in remote regions or censored countries, or only nodes that avoid redundancy at the second hop - and so forth. I am wondering how many node operators on here would be interested on something like this? Let’s connect 👇
