Waking up to see we have access to our new bare metal blade server for the relay. CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2690v2 ( 10 cores / 20 threads @ 3.00 GHz ) RAM: 64GB DDR3 ECC I usually run Debian on servers, but maybe today's the day to put NixOS on a server. Hmm. Good morning

A data center outage is in progress, the relay may be unavailable for a bit. We'll be back asap.

Just completed some relay server maintenace today that changes our pruning strategy to keep events from friends-of-friends for a longer period.

@79f00d3f5a19ec806189fcab03c1be4ff81d18ee4f653c88fac41fe03570f432 137155 events, 268.3 MB bytes that's a lotta zaps in our database 👏

Happy New Year We're just getting started here

We have opened the gates again. Public relay write access is available, with some restrictions intended to inhibit spam. All existing premium users of bitcoiner.social retain unrestricted write access. Current policies are experimental and subject to change. Big thanks to @offchain.pub for testing some of them out in advance! If you operate a broadcasting service, just provide us a stable source address to exclude from our rate limits.

For those asking, our relay is temporarily private while we work on a new sustainability model. Aiming for a mixure of free or very inexpensive relay of notes (and other stuff). Most of the work up to now has been about making the existing relay faster and more stable. No point in charging for services if they suck, afterall! Our dev guy is working through a backlog trying to get to this.

The mempool is a layer cake: That's the one-week chart. Monthly looks pretty similar. You know what this means!

We just started running snort on bitcoiner.social Now you can link directly to nostr events on this relay via our snort instance, such as your profile page: https://snort.bitcoiner.social/p/npub1an3nz7lczcunpdw6ltjst94hgzcxpppnk7zk3zr2nfcj4yd96kdse6twjd Big thanks to @npub1sn0r...jtws
