Woke up, tried to fix my relays. I thought eden was the paid Nostr land relay. Not finding eden at all so I guess I should remove. Paid invoice for Nostr land subscription. Now I'm out 60k Satoshis and still no access to that relay.

I'm just venting to the 3 of you who will see this. I can't even keep myself up and running on Nostr.

I love the idea of onboarding new people to Nostr. I have put in a lot of work to make something, there's a lot of people interested in my group already... But then my relays went wonky (AGAIN) and it's such a fucking headache just fixing these things for myself. I shudder to think how constant this fuckery would be for the people in my community group if I onboard them.

Anyways, any relay recommendations?

I used to have a ton of relays set up because when I first started I noticed they went down a lot and I figured better to have backups. But I winnowed it down to just high quality relays which was good for a few months. But now I'm going back to maybe if I had 20 relays set up I wouldn't have this problem where 5/6 relays aren't populating my feed 🙄

I see you 👀 Mastering relay management is beyond the capabilities of even frontier lab AIs 😂 I've always found wss://nos.lol to be one of the best and it's free.

Doesn’t Amy use outbox model and connect to almost every relay it sees?

Eden was merged into Nostr.land. Due to a limitation of the LN payment processing software used, if you close the tab before it shows the payment as confirmed, it can cause the payment to get stuck. In this case, just reach out to me. The in-progress rewrite of the backend also addresses this prob...

Came here to shill nos.lol as well. #Jumble > Settings > Relays > Connection quality (you might need to wait and refresh the screen after a while before the button shows up) will show 100s of relays. Sort by total connections and pick some near the top that you can connect to.

Wow. I do not even bother with trying to create a relay. Too much hassle from my perspective…

Good morning. That's very annoying. You may have to run your own to get what you want. Nostr land soups be pretty reliable. That's... Odd. I honestly don't have too much experience with running relays yet so I'm not sure how much help I can be at this point.

Like an old video game from the 8-bit era, the difficulty and jankiness of nostr is a sort of challenge that makes it interesting. But I haven't tried to onboard anyone for precisely that reason; I suspect I'd just end up as IT support for the few who stuck around, and I'd do a piss-poor job of it ...

Can you try nostr:npub1fa05cayzx9xze32d2nhxnp7vhf42mkvpf9zr8xa9keq35tlrps5q7k0z97 and let me know your experience? If you have a second phone handy, please give the new user flow a chance and the “who told you about nostr” section. I’ll take all the feedback and criticisms I can get. There...

nostr:nprofile1qqstcqhq5mq0qxkeedt69v8ca7pyr0zll9uuu3zje60zg00y2a6kwfgcd7mht For a small group I'd keep it to four: relay.primal.net, nos.lol, relay.damus.io and nostr.mom. On the 60k sats, I'd send the nostr.land operator your payment hash.

I don't understand how your (a little weird) relay selection has anything to do with your community
