Sounds right. Noticed some wonky behavior with a few popular repays which I chalked up to the outage.
Respectable.
We can do better.
Run a relay on your phone!
Here is how I got #citrine to work as both a local relay and as an exposed onion service as outbox relay on my phone. Thanks to @Ryan for the idea!
Download Citrine and start as local relay
Open Orbot
Tap more
Tap onion hosted services
Tap user services
Tap +
Add any name to service
Add 4869 to both ports
Hit save
Exit from orbot
Restart orbot by closing out or force close
Restart orbot and connect orbot vpn again
Tap hosted services and copy new onion url
Open #Amethyst and go to relays
Add ws://yournewonionaddress. onion:4869 to outbox relay
Remove any other outbox relay
Hit save

That’s pretty awesome considering we’re 80% off aws. I doubt other “protocols” could say the same.
Yeah but that was just one AWS center that went down but I did hear it's a major one.
true. us-east-1 is one of the largest data centers...
either way. relays are easy to run. proof that they can be resilient and run anywhere...
#NDN instead. aboutime. soon?
That's surprising, but honestly pretty good seeing as running a relay and making it accessible from the outside world isn't all that easy just yet.
