a relay up grammar #asknostr WoT setting get these from I two, ELI5 peace demons? or damn #wot so some someone can Can

Using or running your own?

It would have to be the only relay in your list... Best way to turn them off is with security filters.

You've got a couple options. 1. Use someone else's existing WoT relay, or a couple different ones. The upside to this is that you just need the relay address to add it to your relay list. The downside is, it's based on the relay owner's web-of-trust, instead of yours. So you may not see notes from people who would be within your WoT that don't happen to be in the relay owner's. 2. Set up your own WoT relay that pulls in notes from those in your WoT. For this I would use @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻's WoT Relay implementation found here:

GitHub

GitHub - bitvora/wot-relay: archiving every note in your web of trust

archiving every note in your web of trust. Contribute to bitvora/wot-relay development by creating an account on GitHub.

and you'll need to have a domain and have a bit of know-how to point that domain to your relay end-point on whatever you are running it on. 3. Use Coracle as your Nostr client and set the WoT filter to a minimum of 1. No more spammers, regardless of which relays you are using. For options 1 and 2 to work, your relay list must not have ANY public relays that you are READING from. You can write to public relays if you like, but if you are reading from any, you will see spam.

Using an existing one, ideally

🫡

Add any of these to your relay list and remove the relays that are showing spam.

Thank you! Tryna zap you but getting an error fetching invoice?

Also, do I need to do something with these to ensure it pulls from my WoT rather than from UTXO’s web? Or is that automated already?

Yeah zap have been broken. Fixing it is just at the bottom of my to-do list.

Drop me an invoice for 1,111 ⚡️🙏

Bahaha exactly 🤜🤛

Realistically and optimally, how many relays should we have/use?

So the thing about these style of relays is they pull from whoever's web of trust the user sets. So for instance my web of trust relay wot.sovbit.host uses me as an anchor and then pulls from my web of trust. As far as I'm aware, none of these relays are smart enough to use your input as the anchor for the web of trust. Maybe something's been changed on some of these implementations, but at least that's how my implementation works. And I think that's how all the other ones work as well. So you'll need to set up a relay of your own if you want to use your input as the anchor for web of trust.

Depends on whether or not your client has outbox support or not. If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure you're an iPhone user (could be hallucinating things), which probably means you're on Damus. And I'm not sure if that has implemented outbox yet. (I'm really out of the loop on lots of client development.) Vitor wrote this for Amethyst And it's a good primer on relays. View article → If your client doesn't use the outbox model, I would describe it as vibe-relaying otherwise. 🤣 Just go what feels right. Maybe have a couple of public relays and then a couple of private relays. Just realize that if you overload your relay list, you're using a lot more data and it can sometimes cause client slowdowns.

Thanks for your help, my friend
