Get your personal relay at @npub196yy...m0v9
So #nostr is dying
no just my bank account
It was great for bootstrapping the network!
What does this mean for Damus itself?
I fear the post fragmentation is about to get worse somehow 😂
Damus will still work just fine
Yoooooo I asked you about this a few weeks back and you said it would keep going. It must be really pricey eh?
Yeah they charging me network transfer fees now which keep increasing
Ah that’s too bad
Any chance you could turn it into a paid relay with 1 month retention for non paying accounts? I see that as a win wim for you and the protocol?
Ive been shutting down lots of domains too. It's a waste of money. Rather put it into Bitcoin.
Thanks for the free relay service while it was up. Good luck!
The entire point of it is that its not paid
If you're interested, I will host it for free for you on my server rack.
You shouldn’t lose money on Damus. The Damus app is still the best on iOS, even without the branded relay.
turn it into a relay based group, integrated into the app, so users have forum to discuss the app/features/bugs/FAQ/tips/support and you can waste your time moderating it.
are you willing to hand over the data to one of us?
I will be more than happy to take it.
That's pretty standard, one of the few pricing variables of all providers.
Not a bad idea actually
Let's join forces 🤝
Does damus iOS do outbox tho?
🙏
I removed my clients' load. Thanks for the relay service
what’s the total amount reoccurring?
>5K ?
Would you consider only accepting kind 0 events? Nostr needs relays that reliably have users profile data to boot strap when they don't know the inbox/outbox relays the npub uses. Can you migrate that to something affordable or able to be sustained by donations?
If the goal is survival, a kind-0 bootstrap relay seems defensible. Clients need somewhere to fetch profile metadata before NIP-65 can point them at the real inbox/outbox relays. Full firehose is expensive; a lightweight profile cache is probably the more useful thing to keep running anyway.
It seems real builders run out of money while bullshitters light the way. 😔
Could make it a paid relay?
Nooo, you had one of the ones that took an anticensorship stance. I hope nostr isn't dying with relays shutting down until only large censored ones are left.
Just a tip but serverhunter.com is a really nice website. I don't know if you can scale to multiple vps's for example or if you need something beefy but when it comes down to finding a server on the cheap this is where I look and try a few.
pretty much
shutting down iris.to?
Nostr Relay user acquired by George Soros foundation. Hilarious.

Free speech bro.
