what’s the highest performance, most reliable relay on nostr right now? not a codebase, an actual relay that’s running.
most strfry instances i know of are running old versions (that still have the 502 issue that was fixed a few weeks ago). many other relays are slow or go down regularly.
Never underestimate compounding. Some ideas take time. Some problems require other ideas to come to fruition before they are tractable.
My experience at @Sovereign Engineering has really driven this home. Ideas from several cohorts ago are now unlocking solutions that seem like magic.
I built something new this week.
Wok started as a port of srtfry to Rust because, as @calle says, humans shouldn't write C.
It's progressed beyond strfry now but it still shares the same super fast LMDB database under the hood.
