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.

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.

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 😀
