Scammers impersonating her, walker and Derek Ross. They come in regularly, starting DMs with “how are you doing, what have you been up to since Nostrica?”. Fuckers. They’re a plague!

that’s exactly my point, it’s important to expand on things like NIP-65 to efficiently distribute content across many smaller relays. As it currently stands, the way apps find content across relays doesnt even fully make use of NIP-65, especially big apps like @Damus that still haven’t prioritized that at all.

Blue sky traffic is massive. They have millions of users. It will kill the bandwith amd storage from many small relays

Well that was always something the nostr protocol was going to have to handle if its supposed to be a true alternative to Twitter.

If the protocol can't scale to that size without a few massive relays doing all the work, then it's Bluesky with extra steps and a muuuuuuuuch shittier UX. That means it's not a serious global social network IMO, moreso one for niche communities only, just like Mastodon is looking to be.

How?

In light of recent events with Internet Archive, I figured we could really use a decentralized Internet Archive to have a resilient backup.

Having said that, introducing Chronicl - Decentralized Internet Archive distributed across Nostr relays

Hello nostr:npub19l74aeh29qtsfkswrxeaw2mxepwqfl6d5v3ts2edc9gxx0w4qtuqum8825 sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your message. I recommend a cheap VPS and then connect to cloudflare’s S3 (the free mode). With this you have a server for a lot of traffic 😀
