Don't trust Primal if you are ghost. You are less ghost if you trust someone like them. It's a company, and like every company they're trying to make money and constantly grow. Nostr is failing, bitcoin adoption is not fast, so earlier or later they will start to sell data (if not already).

Cool. Just don't give up on Nostr. Direct your negative energy (from your negative experience) to the devs ;) or at least make a report right here, together we can make it better ;) I don't know of any better alternative to Nostr. We have to make it work best for everyone.

I compared Primal to Amethyst, and here's what bothered me about Primal: it filters certain content - replays, even specific users based on criteria only they seem to understand. It reloads media content with its own CDN, funnels all traffic through its cache relay, and keeps showing premium upgrade notification badge. Maybe you right and that's what I need to reduce connections count. But if my connection to Primal servers is bad it won't help...

Can you show me some example nevent that gets filtered by Primal but not Amethyst?

I think I gave up on Nostr. It need too much connections to too much servers to work normal, not good (I think good is impossible). Now #Wisp trying to send me in 2023. Fuck it.

Its literally faster than a single cached server and uses local cache better, if I just hid the number you'd probably would say it's the best

The correct setup for now is to route the connection through servers inside the country, located in large data centers and have external connection. Direct connections to foreign VPS are quickly detected and cut off. Therefore you need proper set of SNI and a combination of obfuscation and VPN protocols to make traffic analysis as difficult as possible.

I remember, I had similar issues in the past. I think it depends mostly of which client you're using, relay connections, etc.
Alex Budaev profile picture
I think connections is the main problem. The second problem is clients never notice when you have poor connection, and event will just fking disappear after you push send button. Because clients can't predict what relays will do and if connection will be still bad or good enough to push event to relay at the exact moment when you try to publish something.

I got it. Thanks for the feedback.
