nostr1 is unaffected beause we already have access control, clients need settings like gossip has where it only shows replies from access controlled relays

ok great, so you limit the frequency, what happens? bots can go just as fast as a human meanwhile nothing changes other than humans are penalty. just look at the damus relay for example. 6 events a minute and no way to increase for legit use.

no, in theory wot relays, wot clients, lightning network.. thats what all my 'game theory' ideas keep coming back to as a solution. but i think im about a year ahead of everyone from running these relays and seeing all the spam all the time. you dont follow that many people so you may not see the endless misery of the users that it's not fixed for, gave up, etc.

replyguy is about as dumb as he can get already, all he has to do is change his profile, then what?.. i just cant seem to get my point across i guess.

2024-09-08 16:52:05

- reply

it didnt though. not only did it not stop replyguy, but it'll never work against the same thing or a slightly evolved thing targeting individual pubkeys or groups..
what happened was a combination of big relays finally filtering, the mute lists (yes) and these webs of trust/ paid relays..
clients need fine grain relay controls.. gossip has a relay setting for marking "spam safe" where it will pull more notifications than from a relay that isnt marked.
i was not specifically talking about any one client this is just something i notice over a very long time period. i used to attempt to block things like replyguy too, on the relay side, the content blocks DO NOT WORK against an evolving bot. the same thing happens over and over. sometimes to individuals, sometimes to the wider network. many will be leaving nostr in the future because of this, they have no control over replies other than just turning on "replies only for follows". and this is not gonna work cause follows cant grow past 1-2k pubkeys.
mute words is handy, its useful. but its not a solution. i hope client devs realize that.

2024-09-08 05:56:34

- reply

i have been thinking about this kinda stuff for sure. a lot is already possible, ie, install relay tools, set it to sync and stream from your other relays bidirectionally.. have a fast local relay, without even opening up ports on your firewall.

sad, that client devs seem to think mute words will stop a stalker or bots.. how naive they must be i guess.. everyone is on a different journey, sometimes it's strange to think, "oh, yeah, for the first time they are discovering what its like to be the target of intensive spam? weird."
anyway..
we got shit for this, and it aint "nos.social blocked the bot" -or- "mute the word GM"
my god y'all.. dont mute GM

I think it's both. So, the particles zooming around in an aurora storm, knocks out the intergalactic cosmic rays. This is only what I learned at the geo institute of the Rocket range supercomputer that studied the aurora in alaska.. Otherwise, it pierces the shield... weakining shield is obvs not good. But the zoomies, are clobbering the weird shit. In 2 years, we will be at another solar minimum and wen that happens, that's bad again. we're on space vacation till then. ⚡🍻

hm, i thought the aurora visually shows it blocking space radiation, because a storm blocks the cosmic rays. a year or two ago, that was way more scary cause the solarminimum did not block.

ok, so its like how gossip has write vs outbox and read vs. inbox. so im 'secretly' reading from damus and nos just in case, but i want others to find or tag me elsewhere.
but also putting general into kind3, which gossip doesnt do.. 🤔
so ya ok, i guess general wont be going away then cause very necessary to have the 5-6 classifications that gossip has and nip65 only has read/write/both

2024-08-31 19:01:10

- reply

i mean, the thing is i want my events to go to all of these. are you saying thats what general is for? it will post to all generals? for some reason it sounded like it was just for reading..
i tend to imagine the future where a client knows more than it does right now. like , if youre on wine, find me at wine and not damus (because we have mutually paid for better service there) nip66 and your dynamic limits nip..

yes, i guess ive 'overloaded' the outbox according to amethyst use, but this is what i have setup to be compatible with gossip. if i were to set general, it would be this same list.

the best way rn is to dive in and run one i think. the tools team has been working on some docs for relay.tools open source focused on installation, all you need is a linux machine and a domain to install on.

with all the interest in relays lately, i should write a primer on basic relaying as i dont really know of any..

2024-08-30 18:25:19

Hey y'all! So, relay.tools has billing features now. I've struggled to use nostr messages to notify customers of relay.tools, that balances are due, I believe the notes went out (many attempts were made, kind1, DMs, etc). The reality is the nostr network is not good yet at these basic types of human interactions.
REGARDLESS, I WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR BETTER NOSTR WHERE WE CAN RELIABLY TALK.
Relays in non-payment status will be paused today, reach out to me if you notice or have questions.

very cool!
1. to turn on payments there are settings in the .env file in /srv/relaycreator/.env , it requires an lnbits service that is connected to a lightning node. I was thinking about adding lnbits to the installer, and some docs for this.. but still have to manage a node.
2. payments for relays and memberships all goes through lnbits. (turned off by default).
3. to have it show on the main page there is a relay setting for "show in public directory"

well if you feel like becoming obsessed with relays, im always on the lookout for contributors to relay.tools
github.com/relaytools/docs is the setup guide, i will soon be needing to add influx to the installer (im already using it but i want other relay hubs to have it also)

2024-08-29 08:29:05

- reply

it does help, having one of the biggest clients with the biggest relay endorse outbox while still not having implemented it yet.
its raising the bar for clients, i get it takes time, is harder to implement, and im very patient, but i will not shut up about it. Cause i was promised a nostr where "if you dont like it run your own relay". any clients still not doing outbox, are dangerous to the network and the idea of freedom on nostr.

2024-08-29 08:19:57

- reply

the stats are in influxdb, which i will render using chart.js or etc. thats where those kind counts are already pulling from.

2024-08-29 06:22:07

- reply

ill take anything i can get, as far as relay education material 🌏, but i still think this misses the mark and discourages paid relays or relays with access control.
if clients insist on building stuff that only works in a free relay ecosystem with no auth etc, theyre starving out their own future, imho, because large free relays are only possible with millions in funding, and lawyers and trust and safety teams.
the outbox shouldnt be limited to 2-3, it should be smarter, know what relays you and others have mutually paid for and prioritize those. it doesnt have to read from all of them.
Amethyst as usual leading the way, appreciate all youre doing. 🦖

sure, anyone can use a kind if it's allowed in there by the ACLs.. but it's less likely. This is why I'm adding some metrics into the trex. Already showing kinds (last 30 days) and then a count of last 24hr. This will come with charts #soon.

nah, I got rid of em and not lookin' back :) pure outbox ⚡ if that's the reason, then I will go figure out why nostrudel doesn't get a response (it does list more DVMs).

Ya, it was already on global. I only see one DVM, it's "Currently Popular Notes" Oh, ya know what? I also removed all "general relays" from amethyst. I wonder if that is a factor..

2024-08-28 18:18:35

- reply

Oh, I think I was using https://nostrrr.com/relay/dvms.f7z.io before, but it looks to be down now. I do have a bunch of inbox and outbox relays, only 2 of my inboxes are open to public write I just noticed, is there a list of DVM npubs I can add to my relay?. Amethyst only shows one DVM, but in the past I've seen much more than that (when dvms.f7z.io was online).. So it's not even discovering them.

2024-08-28 18:09:15

Amethyst and Nostrudel have them in the menus. But for them to show up or work, gotta find what relay they're living on. Good Bots always need their own relays..

Yeah tho, there is a relay somewhere too.. for using the DVMs from inside apps.
