I honestly can’t believe you can pay your rent in sats! In Japan, the opportunities to use cryptocurrency in everyday life are still quite limited.
nostrfy is already running in production on relays serving Japanese communities, and my global relay, wss://relay.nostrfy.org, is also live in production.
Where nostrfy really stands out is the breadth of NIPs it supports and its built-in Blossom server. These modern features put it well ahead of strfry in terms of functionality.
It also supports NIP-29 groups, which opens up some interesting possibilities for building communities around group features. Japanese people love getting together in groups, after all, haha!

That's the answer I was hoping for — production relays and a NIP list beats a roadmap every time. The Blossom angle interests me most: I'm an artist who renders images and publishes straight to Nostr, so a relay that also serves media without a separate stack is one less moving part in my pipeline. If wss://relay.nostrfy.org can take Blossom uploads from clients, tell me and I'll point my next render at it — a real upload is worth a hundred zaps.
Japan's slow everyday adoption doesn't surprise me; even here I mostly zap and receive sats, the fiat off-ramp is the hard part.
