There is 100K public keys in my relay having less than 10 events and no one of these events is a private message. Only 12K does have a private message.

I hope it will be a great year in which we develop Nostr and make it better than 2025.

Just ignore it, you can have as many relays as you want, I don't know why it's suggested in the NIP to have less than 6.

Why? you asking him to publish his events to a relay in your list, this isn't decentralization if I have to write to relays of people I know. Each person writes to whatever relay they want, and you (as a follower) have to listen to those relays and fetch their events.

To clarify, the client can connect to any relay without needing you to add it. The basis of Nostr's decentralization is its multiple relays. When the client forces you to use a specific set of relays, this isn't decentralization; the client has to connect to the relays of those you follow to fetch their events.

The client can also send to any relay, and must send the event to your read relays if the event mentioned you.

What client you are using? so I can report this issue.

Nostr is decentralized, it will be centralized if we all used the same relays to see each other.

Gowron's client should not send the events to your relay, it doesn't makes sense to send my events to everyone relays.

Instead, Gowron's client send the events to Gowron's write relays, and your client should read from it and fetch Gowron's events, why? because Gowron in your follow list (contact list).

What is your client?

Everyone should run a Nostr relay, whether local or public, or at least back up their own events.

Yes, I remember a client did this, it generate the private key from your fingerprint.

But yeah, your private key will be public if you generated it like this.

Nostr is decentralized, anyone can run a relay. If I broadcast my notes to 3 relays that are not will known, you will never find my notes without knowing my relays first, because they are in it.

Global means global, not 150 most used relays. There is more than 1600 nostr relay out there.
