So...what are we building next?

If you run a specialized relay, probably worth going over your NIP-11 data to make sure it reflects what your relay can and cannot do for transparency to your users. Seeing a lot of relays with just the very basic information which is fine, but if relay trust assertions ever gathers steam, the basics just won't be enough. With that said, just updated nip46-relay (forked from Bunklay) to be more NIP-11 spec compliant by adding supported kinds, and relay limitations. Changes are live at relay.nip46.com as well.

Amber PR for relay trust scores pushed

GitHub

Add relay trust scores by Letdown2491 · Pull Request #289 · greenart7c3/Amber

This PR is an initial implementation of relay trust scores for Amber. Trust scores are displayed in the Relays page and for NostrConnect connection...

Working on implementing relay trust scores into Amber...PR incoming @greenart7c3

Pushed some scoring improvements to Trusted Relays today: - Recent reliability matters more than history (3-day half-life) - Frequent short outages now penalized, not just long ones - Offline relays decay gradually instead of flat cap - Stacked access barriers (auth + payment) use diminishing returns - Stale NIP-66 monitors excluded from calculations Also revamped the Insights section with operator reputation context, comparative rankings, and trend analysis. Changes are live now and scores will start reflecting over the next day or so.

i love cool stuff like this, even if i have no need for it. View quoted note →

Ignore the noise, and keep on building the future f**kers

Very cool View quoted note →

My favorite newsletter covers Trusted Relay Assertions this week (the draft NIP I wrote which powers trustedrelays.xyz) as well as a deep dive into NIP-11 and NIP-66 (keys to relay trust scores) and I am over the fucking moon. Thanks, folks! View quoted note →

Just added relay pinning to trustedrelays.xyz...no need to sign in, but pinning NIP-65 relays might come soon.

Nostr relies on about 1000 relays run by around 450 pubkeys...we need more

Added some automated relays insights to relay details to provide some context as to what a relay could be used to. Could probably dive a bit deeper but heading in the right direction. @npub1jlrs...ynqn curious if this is what you were referring to the other day?

Added switch_relays method to Signet 1.8.1 following a PR to NIP-46. This is a daemon only update for those of your using Signet.

Integrated operator WoT scores into Trusted Relays, did some additional UI cleanup, and added a new Trend column to relay lists that will surface 7d score trends. Next step will be adding more fine-grained metrics so users can see what kinds a relay accepts, what are they good for (signing requests/outbox/groups/etc).

Trusted Relays is back up with some performance improvements, a beefier server, and additional threat mitigation. Currently, working on some trend and comparative analysis stuff in duckDB to make metrics even more useful.
