i am hereby officially giving up on trying to build a server with actual spam resistance because clients still don't have, 18 months since i was first screaming about it, functioning support for auth

i am quite sure that literally their code doesn't understand that auth is per socket not per IP, because even after i send a message, and they auth back, then i try a few seconds later to broadcast another note or something, and mysteriously the listener has no authed pubkey in it

BECAUSE IT"S A GODDAMN DIFFERENT SOCKET CONNECTION

there's no way this is my fault, i can't make the assumption that just because an IP address had someone auth from it that next time that IP is used it's going to be the same user

that's it, i'm done, really

i'll keep using nostr but i am doing no more dev to build a server for clients that don't respect the rights of relay property

quoting
nevent1q…a9mc

nostr nip guardians don't give a fuck about this or they'd be suggesting that all authed connections should be sending an auth every time with the header using NIP-98

instead, we are left, those of us who aren't made of money, to expose our relay deployments to wide open, no auth, and pray to God that we don't get slammed by spammers

i just can't even any more, fuck all of you dickheads who think auth is a privacy violation

guess what, using my relay's data storage for your trash is a property violation
