# Relayable Updates from July 2023 ## Donations and Overhead Costs **For July 1st-31st** Average of **89,323** unique users per relay location Transferred an average of **2TB** per relay location (see attached image) Operating Costs **$1123.32** Donations **194,182 sats ($57.14 USD)** We currently have 3 relays donated to us which helps but we continue to scale to meet demands. We have added the `zbd.gg` relay to list we stream from. Blocked additional airdrop spam accounts and pleased with the spam filtering efficiency. Our LMDB database (sync'd at each relay location) has passed the 40GB mark in size We are continuing to improve the service. Thanks to everyone for their support! image

Yeah, yeah, of course: relays are a crucial part of #nostr. A caching layer/database will allow to not ask again and again for the same information to the relays, imo. That's why I mentioned it. Thanks again! 🫂
