calle on nostr

Open in Damus

I said it before and I'll say it again and again: we need ideas to fix the huge traffic issue with noste.

My computer starts downloading events with 20 MB/s whenever I open a new nostr tab. That's unacceptable. If we want the world to use nostr (not just the US), clients need to work in a low bandwidth environment.

Think smaller.

Only PC or phone as well?

Personally, I have to set image disabled and limit my relay usage by using aggregator relay (1 or 2) as "read relay" and other relays for write only in Amethyst.

You're right, thank you

My GPU sounds like a jet turbine when I open Primal. How can this be solved?

I think it would be a start to let people better choose what they see. I see so much content from people I don't want to see. I would only see content from people I explicitly follow (no global bullshit, nothing from the people they follow, etc). I literally only want to see posts from those I 'foll...

I conducted an experiment to demonstrate the point in my other comment. On average, I would NOT see 18 out of every 25 posts that are loaded on my feed (using the most aggressive filter offered by the client - which clearly isn't much of a filter). I don't understand all the underlying mechanics, bu...

Have you tried my thing? https://github.com/Yonle/bostr Try clear your relay list in your client and try to only connect to a bouncer. You could connect mine, which is public and there are peoples using it: wss://bostr.lecturify.net List of relays that are being proxied / bounced is available at h...

Nostr needs a better experience on mobile overall

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s seems to be on the right path to fix this

simplest solution is proxies. bostr, blastr, .. not sure if blastr is reading from every relay though. if it is not then it is not reducing read traffic (which is the most traffic). another one is aggregating relays that collect notes from a lot of relays (strfry router feature). this is also for r...

Any clients or relays out there that have reposts disabled? That may help. My feed is consistently a broken record of reposts. May help bandwidth and UX.

Most clients need to request a ton of data to filter it out because the relays are meant to be dumb by design if I am remembering right

like when are we dropping the stupid JSON representation ? Binary format with 2 version bytes at the beginning

- Clients make wasteful requests. - Kind 1 is root post and reply, no way to request only one of them. - Lazy loading threads is impossible because e-tags are used to reference too many things. Easy fixes for those but low interest in doing it.

"A nostr tab" which client are you using? Coracle attempts to be more bandwidth conscious, so you might compare and see how it stacks up.

Mike Dilger ☑️ · 113w

Since people invariably will want to use many different nostr clients, any ideas that a single client can use (caching events locally, doing any kind of negentropy with the relay, etc, etc) will not be sufficient. Any client-specific solutions will not be enough. We need a NIP based solution. I'v...

I'm with nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c there. We need basically a proxy relay that lives on the device so you make requests exclusively to that but it has to be more complex than a common relay as you need a way to instruct it to get data from specific other r...

Youre going to have to let us know what client you are using so we can get to the bottom of this, and 20MB/s the internet speed dedicated to this activity, its not too helpful in diagnosing this, you could download 1MB @ 1000MB/s, it just would just be instant.
