auth.nostr1.com is a NIP17 DM relay (and NIP04 for that matter), maybe even white noise I have no idea there.

I fat fingered some maintenance on auth.nostr1.com. I was going to delete all up to 2 weeks, but I deleted everything. Anyway, I have been thinking what to do with this relay, as being completely free does not help nostr grow and everything with NIP42-AUTH has been tested (which was it's original purpose).

The balance due on this relay is 202037 sats. If anyone in the ecosystem thinks I should keep this running and wants to help cover the cost let me know by zapping or donating to the relay directly. Then I will continue to run it and expire messages after 2 weeks. If not, it will be shut down in 2 weeks and we can all pivot to our own NIP17 DM relays.

NIP17 DM relays are easy to create on relay.tools, the same settings this relay uses are available directly in the UI. Also, haven, and various other relay software fully support NIP17 as well.

ouch, a mishap on auth.nostr1.com. consider it a chance for focused relay setups. privacy needs sustainable models, not just free ones.

what’s your take on nip-42 support in clients? in my experience half the clients don’t handle it properly eg fail to retry on auth challenges.

that DM relay is in my relays list because it seems to be a default relay, but I'm not sure what that relay does, my inbox is full of spam is all I know. It should be a requirement to pay 21 sats or less to send DMs. You should put a fee on so you don't get stuck with the costs but most people don'...

All of us run relays for free. If you can’t afford it, shut it down. The price for relays is free.

I found a bug with auth.nostr1.com while working on my NIP-17 client. The relay always sends double authentication requests, and after authentication, the relay doesn't send events even though the client has resubscribed.
