I found a bug with auth.nostr1.com while working on my NIP-17 client. The relay always sends double authentication requests, and after authentication, the relay doesn't send events even though the client has resubscribed.

Forgot attach screenshot.

Hi @Yuki Kishimoto ,
I think I've found the problem here. It looks like the SDK is waiting for the timeout to finish before returning the result, instead of returning immediately after receiving the event from the relay.

I've created a simple flow like this:
1. Spawn a task to listen for notifications via `client.notifications()`
2. In another task, send an event to the relay and get the output: `let event = client.send_event(event).await?`
3. You will see the notification in task <1> receive the OK event from the relay immediately.
4. However, in task <2>, the output only returns after 10 seconds (the default timeout).

Sorry for put the issue here. My GH account is locked, I will create another one later.

Both. I'm just tested the sqlite backend, it still have same issue.

I've adjusted the `ok_timeout/timeout` to 1 or 2 seconds, and now everything seems fast, as if gossip is disabled. I think there are some bottlenecks when handle notification, cc @Yuki Kishimoto

I've done some debugging. After I create subscriptions, the relay responds immediately, but somehow the notification channel isn't receiving events yet.

Yes, but people don't realize it's still a corporate product. sooner or later, it will do the same thing as discord does.

It looks like nostr-sdk automatically runs negentropy sync when relays are added. I think this causes a bottleneck in my app and creates significant delays. My app flow works like this:

1. Users launch the app
2. The app connects to bootstrap relays
3. The app gets the user's relay list and verifies its existence
4. If the relay list exists → Get profile → Get and verify messaging relays

The flow is simple and runs step by step, so I don't think the backend affects it much. If I disable gossip, it runs fine.

People are migrating to https://www.rootapp.com/ . Sadly most nostr devs are indie, we cannot compete with coporate.

Hi @Yuki Kishimoto
I wonder if you have any plans for using async_utility for the gossip-sqlite crate? I can work on this, it would temporarily allow me to use it in my app.
