Nostr View

I’ve set up an experimental relay that I’m hoping a few people can add to test - wss://relay.austrich.net. This relay is running strfry on three VPSs, one here in Australia, one in the US and one in the UK, with events streamed between them. Amazon Route 53 is used for geoproximity routing which should connect to the “closest” server, and fail over to another server if one goes down. I’m not entirely sure if this is a good idea for a Nostr relay but I’d be interested to hear feedback. Note that this is a proof of concept only, the VPSs that it is running on are underpowered to handle too many connections, and I may not keep this relay running permanently.

This seems to be working as expected. I can see connections on each of the servers and events are being streamed to the other servers. #[0]

I don't think I would use this: #[0], but if it worked it would create a certain aura of exclusivity for content posted in this relay. Better yet if you restrict reads somehow, make them harder to get or something like that.

Other relay ideas (not very good, just to sparkle your imagination): - a relay only for people with top-level domain names (no "@" at the NIP-05) - a relay that only stores the most recent post of people - a relay that only stores posts that have received at least 10 replies from other people (big threads) - a relay that only serves posts to people "bitcoin" on their profile metadata The most interesting crazy relay idea to comment on this post will earn a marvelous prize of 10000 sats.

A relay for wholecoiners and up. Could be called the "nostr.monaco.io", how to verify "trust me bro". Entry price, 50M. I guess no one in their right mind would shill 50% of their Bitcoin net worth for this. You said crazy ideas ☺️ [774990]

A relay that only serves a specific public key range, and redirects to other relays if the public key range is not served. The intention is to enforce some level of distribution. Relays will communicate amongst themselves as to what public key ranges they will serve.

Regional-serving relays will likely be useful. I guess the ping level could be used to determine who the relay serves.

- A relay only for NIP-05 with the same name before the @ (example, everyone has to be jack@<domain> -A relay that only allows you to write to it if your post contains the word “poop” somewhere in it - A relay where every post must be exactly 5 words.

Repeater relays- A "dumb server pool" to bring down overhead for relay operators. Making 1 relay address more resilient to take down.

There aren’t many people using it yet so not a lot of load on the servers.

I see. When people hear about and add it it will be different. I think the idea behind it is great 🤙

I’m testing a regional relay now that uses geolocation to connect you to the closest server #[4]

I’d love some more people to test wss://relay.austrich.net. Even with the small VPSs that it’s running on there is currently no load. #[0]

For anyone that has been testing this relay, please let me know if you start seeing any issues with it as I’ve switched to a different Geo DNS service. I’ve also added a 4th VPS running strfry in South America which is synced and streaming from the others to see how this scales when adding additional servers. If there is anyone else who would like to test this, please add wss://relay.austrich.net to your relays. #[0]

How hard was the stir fry deployment? That’s the next relay type I am going to spin up.
