Ho cody tseng nice to meet you 🤝😉 This is the way! Running your own relay isn’t just about privacy it’s about sovereignty. Every relay strengthens the network, making Nostr more resilient and unstoppable. The more we decentralize, the less control they have over us. If you care about freedom, now’s the time to act. Set up your relay, own your data, and be part of the infrastructure of the future. No excuses just do it.
Yes, the next version will include the feature to automatically pull events from public relays. If your local relay automatically pull events from the outbox relays of people you follow, combined with using Jumble browsing. The following feed will load very fast and save bandwidth.
Yes, that's correct. Since the pubkey in NIP-17 gift wrap events is randomized to hide the sender, enabling WoT will reject these events. You can create an allow rule to accept all 1059 events.
Thanks! Auth will be implemented in the reverse proxy service, it's already in development. LAN access shouldn't need auth, right? What do you think?
