Already seeing meaningful amounts of traffic growth on bitcoiner.social, and it's only going to accelerate with this new global feature on Damus! We're barely just getting started. Since I've built the server using Ansible, it'll be a breeze to migrate to dedicated bare metal soon. In leu of (paying for) that, I'll be raising the admission fee to 4200 sats in an hour. So it’s 2k sats for one more hour. About 1:15pm PDT or 21:15 utc.

Switching back to Damus for awhile. The new global is 🤙⚡️

What's good for self-hosting a lightning address that works with lightningd? I've done it with lnd before, and I know lnurl-commando is a thing.

They have inpainting and outpainting without needing to use a masking tool now.

I am loving infrastructure as code. Upgrading nostream is just incrementing the version number and running my playbook again. I even put an upgrade tag so that I can do "--tags upgrade" and skips everything unrelated to the upgrade. A year ago I was still doing everything in bash scripts. There's still a place for that, but ansible is 🤙

I just experienced a fullscreen desktop nostr global feed without spam. Whoa.

GM, the bitcoiner.social relay is now available as a Tor hidden service: ws://bitcoinr6de5lkvx4tpwdmzrdfdpla5sya2afwpcabjup2xpi5dulbad.onion

Initiated routine off-site backups for the nostream relay. This will protect us from catastrophic data loss. ie. Even if the server is unavailable, I can always restore all the registered users.

PSA: wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social is now wss://offchain.pub Before I deployed the new pay-to-relay server, I ran a public relay under a "nostr" subdomain. I've since renamed my public relay to wss://offchain.pub. Much cooler name. Better represents how nostr isn't something this domain handles on the side, it's the primary purpose. Raison d'etre. Both offchain.pub and the "nostr" subdomain will work concurrently for awhile, pointing to the same public relay server. But I'll eventually deprecate the "nostr" subdomain and redirect requests to the new offchain.pub name. This only applies to the free public relay. The pay-to-relay bitcoiner.social remains put, and is here to stay.

Had a brief chance to look and here are 3 interesting nostr pay-to-relay servers that I have subscribed to: wss://nostr.wine - paid 8,888 sats, nostream behind Cloudflare managed by #[0] . Nostr dev doing super cool stuff with a private relay, like his "filters" feature wss://relay.orangepill.dev - paid 4.5k sats, US nostream managed by #[1] Public SRE means this admin is deadly serious about their uptime! wss://nostr.ownscale.org - paid 4k sats, EU nostream managed by #[2] on a dedicated server at ownscale. Sounds familiar.

strfry is so fast that it has shifted our destiny. A shit vm can relay a massive amount of events. That enables a level of decentralization where anyone can participate at almost any level. For the first time I actually believe we could scale nostr to a level where it threatens the status quo, currently ruled by tech oligarchs. The cost to run apps on nostr will be neglible compared to the value they provide. The biggest immediate challenge is spam but we're going to overcome that. Proof of work and small lightning payments are good options.

working on the public nostr.bitcoiner.social relay, it'll be offline for a few minutes

Relay maintenance in progress

tree —gitignore 🤯

Relay was overloaded with sql queries today, so I set worker.count <= vCores. We’re online but probably dropping excess queries.

NIP-13 proof of work for spam deterrence! Fucking love it.
