How many relays do you have? What's your performance like?

For me, I have 18 relays now. Snort and Amethyst are extremely slow for me. I get a lot of lag and the experience is just not very fun to be honest. This is a change for me on Amethyst. As a native app, it was extremely fast until yesterday.

I am considering moving to mostly paid relays, but the problem with this is that we don't know the relay's hardware specs. We could be paying for a relay that runs on a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to pay for relays with large resource pools, not just a relay that's green and new as this could change in a week.

Shill me your relays.

When you check those 18 against nostr.watch, do any have a particularly low uptime % for the last 24 hours? Like below 80%

same here by the way.. had to drop lots of relays. the app is really badly designed.. the relays should work independently of UI/UX in terms of performance

I have 5 relays, its very fast

Installed my own relay just fo be more safe. Damus relay is very fast now!

#[2] is running https://nostr.lu.ke which apparently is on a super beefy server.

14 , but I need to do a clean up in the list.

11 relays all free, using Iris (before, I tried astral, hamstr, yo sup)

I have 35 on #[2] . Probably connected to 25 at a time, of which 9 are paid relays. Having no problems so far.

I just started paying for relays and think I will add more due to experience/speed

I got 32 and doing fine on amethyst. Not checking global though

I had the opposite until I added nos.lol yesterday and cut to under 10 relays. Now amethyst feels like I'm using the bird app.

https://nostr.wine resources are being closely managed. Fairly large machine and will spin up more and geographically distribute as load increases. Already playing with more efficient implementations than nostream as well.

Im using the default on Iris plus added a couple of paid to get to 15 and not getting much lag or Spam. I think Iris does something in the background though to filter out spam.

I'm new in nostr and at the moment i have nearly 15 relays. But I have not found out yet which relays would be most useful for me.

I’m not running a relay, yet, but a major signal for me when browsing http://nostr.watch/relays/find is does the relay list a pubkey, is it active, does the relay runner talk about their relay.

It seems to me, that broadcasting to more relays shouldn't decrease your performance too much. I'm seeing this note of yours on 6 of my relays in Nostros, meaning that we have quite a few of overlapping relays. It's taken a little while to see them all though (screenshot included). https://void.cat...

My current setup: 4 fast relays (3 paid) on READ 4 more relays on WRITE only You can change the read/write on snort.social, just click the little boxes. Having 7+ relays on READ pretty much broke all clients for me.
