Yeah, something doesn't seem to be working with your relay. It has no feed at all when I look it up on Wisp, Jumble, and nostr.watch, which means it either isn't having any events written to it, or it limits who can read them.

That makes some sense, but it should be using an open standard like open street maps.

And so are His mercies.

Wait... wut?

I find this is also when my Bitcoin node tends to go down.

I like it, so long as it is clear in the UI that they are being featured because they don't post often, not because the post was popular, or because it was hand selected to be promoted.

The test should be enough on its own, though. A relay that require's AUTH should not serve any requests for kind 1059 without first sending an AUTH request, right?

Well, nodes are in charge, but only of their own definition of what Bitcoin is, and they are incentivised to remain in agreement with the rest of the nodes.

Congrats to both you and @walker !

Think of it this way. Outbox are how you get what you want to say out to the rest of Nostr. That being the case, you will want to use relays that anyone can read from. Now, that's the case with MOST relays, so you have a lot of options here.

Inbox relays, however, will determine who is able to get what they have to say, particularly in comments and replies, in front of you. These relays are really useful for minimising reply spam if you use them correctly by only adding relays that people you care to hear from can write to. The best options here are Web-of-Trust relays of one form or another, or paid relays, if you really want to lock it down, or a combination of both.

This is great! It doesn't recognize nostr.land as supporting AUTH though.
