Thanks a lot for your message and support — I’m really glad you’re giving nostrcheck a try! 🥳🥳
I’m aware that the current registration and access flow isn’t very clear. I’m actually about to release a new version that significantly improves this entire process

355 clients connected to the relay simultaneously and so far, it hasn’t even broken a sweat 😎
I’ve run local tests with thousands of open sockets, of course—but experience has taught me that production is a whole different beast.
I’ve gone through every emotional stage with this relay: from sheer euphoria to seriously considering wiping my nsec, giving away anything with a screen, and moving to the countryside to grow tomatoes.
Good morning #nostr 🫂

Los blobs cifrados, a pesar de ser un concepto magnifico, son peligrosos para un servidor blossom publico.
Nostrcheck-server permite agregar mas tipos de archivo soportados, lo ideal seria que cada pequeña comunidad tuviera un servidor nostrcheck (nostraddress blossom y relay) y subieran ahi sus datos.
Que cualquiera guarde datos cifrados en un servidor publico (aun que sea de pago) es simplemente algo a lo que los incentivos no están alineados.
Alguna idea? 🤓

Does your server use a secure certificate? If it is set to production mode without SSL, no user will be able to log in.

Sure, you can use strfry by limiting it to the kinds you need, and that's it. It's a very fast and lightweight relay (it does consume memory, but I don't think your case will scale to millions of events).

Iefan, long time no talk 💜
A fast and lightweight relay, in my opinion, fundamentally depends on the number of events it stores. Any relay is fast with 10,000 events.
So, I’d say any relay would work, especially if you’re filtering by just a few specific kinds.
If you’d like, we can share opinions and code via DM or Telegram.

2025-02-27 07:18:37

I’m almost done with the new relay for nostrcheck-server, currently experimenting with search extensions.
So far, it’s stable and fast with 3,000,000 events loaded into memory. I had to fine-tune every operation to avoid bottlenecks across the system.
Querying such a large dataset is inherently slow, but on top of that, the relay has to handle hundreds of simultaneous requests over open WebSockets.
To tackle this, the relay currently runs with a pool of n workers and a processing queue for heavy tasks.
It’s fully compatible with all relevant NIPs. Not designed for 100 million events yet, but more than capable of efficiently handling community-scale needs.
I’m sure I’m running into the same problems others have already solved, but I’m doing it anyway—because this is Nostr. We have to keep 500 incomplete and incompatible clients connecting to 500 incomplete and incompatible relays, otherwise, what are we even doing here? 🤣🤓

Cualquier sistema centralizado que este expuesto a internet acabará siendo vulnerado, es solo cuestión de tiempo. Lo único que podemos hacer como usuarios es intentar segmentar la información que damos a cada servicio, si no es estrictamente necesario, invéntate la información de registro, si puedes mantén siempre identidades suficientemente lejanas entre tus “yo”. Por supuesto, #nostr arregla esto, pero por supuesto también los poderes públicos nunca lo aceptaran, nuestra libertad y soberanía son su alimento, y están obsesionados con ello.

2025-02-23 08:54:17

I receive hundreds of images and videos every day. Only a small fraction of these uploads contain unpleasant, illegal, or outright revolting content.
However, even this small fraction carries significant weight. Due to my daily reviews, I am beginning to experience flashes of disturbing images. Reviewing content every day takes its toll, and hosting providers take on a personal risk by storing other people’s files so that Nostr can thrive and more independent servers can emerge.
Over the past two years, I have hosted close to 200,000 files. Thanks to some donations, I have been able to keep going, and I truly appreciate that support. But let’s be honest: relying on individual resilience is not a sustainable model. Running a media server at no cost is already a challenge, and on top of that, there are structural barriers that make it even harder. While some servers are included by default in new clients, others, like mine, despite having been early adopters of key standards such as NIP-98, NIP-94, NIP-96, and later Blossom, struggle to gain visibility. Instead of an open and natural selection process, inclusion often depends on persistence, PRs, and constant requests.
This is not just about one server or one person. If running a media server in Nostr means constant hurdles and limited opportunities for integration, many simply won’t take the leap. And that is why we have yet to see a real explosion of Blossom or NIP-96 servers.
It’s encouraging to see some progress in the right direction, at least from my perspective. My PR to integrate BUD-07 (Paid Upload and Download) into Blossom seems to be getting closer to approval, which could help smaller servers sustain themselves through microtransactions. While larger servers already have subscription models outside of Nostr or Blossom that allow them to remain operational, this new implementation could provide a real opportunity for those looking to operate without relying on external funding.
A reflection for nostr client maintainers:
If we want a truly decentralized and resilient ecosystem, we must avoid closed systems that prevent users from adding custom servers. Recommending media servers statically limits diversity and discourages innovation. Instead, let’s use Nostr itself to discover the servers people are actually using and recommend them dynamically based on the user’s needs. We have the tools to make this work—let’s use them!
Happy Sunday, #nostr. I’ll keep building what’s unseen but still used. 🫂💪💜

I’ve been receiving warning messages about a misconfigured Lightning redirection. It belongs to a pubkey registered on nostrcheck.me. I’ve tried reaching out via DMs, notifying them so they can fix it, but I haven’t received any response. Meanwhile, I keep receiving these errors daily.
Since I have backend access, I could manually change this redirection to a valid LN address. However, this raises some ethical and practical questions:
Do I have the legitimacy to do this?
Who or what organization should these sats be redirected to?
Should I leave the error as is indefinitely, or should I find a better place for these sats?
Would it be acceptable to temporarily redirect them to a valid LN address and hold them until I get a response?
My first instinct is to leave everything untouched, but I’d love to hear Nostr’s thoughts on this 🤓

For now, I’m loading events into memory in a strfry style, but I’m obsessed with performance and want something even better.
Nostrcheck-Server will be complete (at least what I always envisioned) with the next version. What I never expected was that the relay would take center stage 👀

Did you know you can enable WoT plugins in the new version of nostrcheck-server? Creating a plugin is super easy, and there are already plenty of plugins available to turn your server into the perfect tool for you.
Examples:
• Only people you follow can upload files.
• Only IPs from a specific region can request a nostraddress.
