In addition to the normal free relays we broadcast notes to we also follow NIP-65 which states:
“When broadcasting an event, Clients SHOULD:
Broadcast the event to the WRITE relays of the author
Broadcast the event to all READ relays of each tagged user”
However, we have to have some limits to avoid spamming notes out like crazy. As such, we only do this additional broadcasting to the first 5 tagged users of each note and only to a max of 4 “read” relays per npub.
Keep the questions coming! Happy to answer 🍷

Thanks Boston!
I am certainly not an expert when it comes to Amethyst relay settings but you are right about how filter works.
Filter reads from (and deduplicates) and broadcasts to a list of public relays so that you don’t need to make all those individual connections.
Filter also broadcast notes to 3 of the recipients (tagged users) NIP-65 relays.
Though filter will not accept notes directly from non-subscribers (and thus shouldn’t be placed in an inbox/outbox list, it will pick up notes that come through any of the public relays automatically.
Without knowing for sure, the way you’ve set it up sounds correct to me!
In case you need more info about filter there is a fairly long readme here: https://filter.nostr.wine

Yes, sounds correct to me! The filter.nostr.wine relay will stop serving notes to you/broadcasting your notes if your subscription expires.
The nostr.wine normal paid relay is still just a one time write access fee so that will keep working normally.

2024-09-27 16:12:33

- reply

The idea is to standardize everything so that nobody has to implement a bunch of proprietary APIs. I certainly get the appeal of that but the design is wasteful and slow.
Lots of the services “offered” by DVMs are just wrapping centralized services with more latency. For example, most search DVMs just use NIP-50 on one or more of the 3 search relay implementations. Using this instead of connecting directly to the relay(s) is so much more work.
With NIP-50:
1. Connect to search relay
2. Open search filter
3. Relay finds matching events and returns them
3. Display returned events
With DVMs:
1. Make a DVM request event
2. DVM makes NIP-50/search API request
3: DVM parses just the event IDs and returns a list of those in a nostr event
4. Client pulls response event and requests event IDs from all relays? Some relays? Only the NIP-50 relay(s) that supplied the DVM with the results?
5. Relay(s) finds matching events and return them
6. Client displays events
🤯

2024-09-27 15:58:10

- reply

We have over 100k “feedback” events from DVMs on our aggregator that just say something along the lines of “I’m processing your task”
Absurd waste.

Lots to digest here but I’ll do the best I can without writing too much.
First, and most importantly, primal is not a normal nostr client that sources events exclusively from relays. They have their own caching relay that is not comparable with the protocol and they rely on it heavily for loading notes within the app. The network was recently under a spam attack that caused lots of problems for their cache. That could explain harsher rejection criteria for their relay or some of the missing content issues you’re describing.
- relay.nostr.band is an aggregator that reads from other relays so even if you do not write directly to that relay it will likely have your events eventually.
- relay.snort.social is a paid subscription relay, you have to pay to write
- nos.lol has some of your latest posts. Not sure when they appeared though.
I’m not sure about the other relays you tried. I think primal sets a random list of 10 which is a very poor way of doing relays selection. Lots of relays are slow, frequently offline, or outright broken.
I would encourage you to try another client first to see if that improves your experience. In addition you could consider adding a paid relay to improve your reach and loading speed. @npub1qlk…lf5y and I run a paid relay called nostr.wine so I am biased but don’t take my word for it - ask or look around for recommendations.
Welcome to #nostr I hope it get easier from here!

I put in your npub and I get the credit card page without any issues for several devices and different browsers.
If you’re using an nprofile or something instead of a valid npub - that would explain the error so thats why I asked.

Hi! They are completely unique and serve different purposes.
nostr.wine is a “typical” paid relay. You have to pay a one time 18,888 sats admission fee to be able to write to the relay but anyone can read from it.
filter.nostr.wine is a paid subscription service (5000-10000 sats per month depending on duration of purchase). Filter is a public/free relay aggregator with several additional features. Here are some of the highlights:
- Aggregates notes from the largest 20+ free relays
- Broadcasts your notes out to 10+ free relays
- Also broadcasts to your first 4 "write" relays and the first 4 "read" relays from the first 5 tagged users (NIP-65 list)
- Offers a (configurable) follows+follows filter for “global” view so you can explore notes outside of your immediate follows but still within your network
- Full text search across all aggregated events
You can learn more about the full functionality of Filter here: https://docs.nostr.wine/filter/readme #note1hqz…ut0g

Different pricing models for different relays is confusing and I appreciate that. We will eventually package all of them together but most of our relays (besides nostr.wine and filter.nostr.wine) are still early prototypes with pricing subject to change.
All of our payment pages, DM reminders, and NOTIFY messages (on Amethyst) say explicitly what service requires payment.
We offer 3 different ways to pay for any nostr.wine service: web, direct message, and NOTIFY message. The NOTIFY message is the cleanest (pops up on your client with an invoice) but is only supported by Amethyst.
I’ll add a “Members Area” to the website where you can login and check your wrote status on nostr.wine, time balances for filter.nostr.wine and inbox.nostr.wine, sats balance for cellar.nostr.wine, and translation credits for translate.nostr.wine.
Eventually we will also let you customizable relay settings for filter.nostr.wine in the member area.

- reply

Thank you friend! Appreciate the mind words.

2024-09-18 14:11:25

Yes, but the initial write plugin checks if that user was previously approved and if so auto accepts the note. So only “unknown” pubkey events are sent for secondary processing.

2024-09-18 14:08:50

- reply

Yes we don’t have IPs at all! It’s all event based analysis.

2024-09-18 14:02:45

- reply

We are using a write policy to send the notes to a separate application/db that handles the “purgatory” state. Then that application inserts events back to the relay as needed.
Would not be able to do it all within a write plugin.

2024-09-18 14:01:13

- reply

Always appreciate you, thanks for the answers. Seems like you have a pretty good solution going at least. So temp IP blocks only when many fresh pubkeys coming from one address. Could still cause issues for VPN users as you pointed out but at least better targeted.
Our problem is we don’t have any IP/network info on our aggregator so we have to make decisions based on only the events. I think the new system will work though.

2024-09-18 13:30:49

- reply

I get your concern about multiple relays sharing block lists - not sure if it’s really preventable but I understand.
Are you not doing any IP rate limiting on nos.lol? Only pubkey/content/report based? I know you request PoW from some new pubkeys too? Do they ever provide it?
Curious how much spam you’re seeing etc

2024-09-18 13:21:34

Free relays that allow and store unlimited spam will simply stop working long term. It is not an option to just ignore it and let the clients filter. #note1wjf…d208

2024-09-18 13:07:50

- reply

First, this is just our aggregator and filter.nostr.wine - not anyone else’s relay. Nobody is forced to use our aggregator but keeping spam off of it long term is more important to us than a slight delay in brand new pubkey discoverability.
If that #introductions hashtag is filled with infinite spam, you also will never discover the new user.
The advantage of this over WoT based relays is as soon as the user reveals themselves to be legitimate (could be after just a few minutes of their original event) none of their old content is lost.
There is going to be some cost to being discovered as a brand new pubkey on an open protocol where there are no account creation limits. We think this solution is the least harmful.

2024-09-18 13:01:49

- reply

Thank you 🫡
I’m hoping noteguard will help save some drowning free relays.
We are going to publish our “purged” database and let people query it eventually. Perhaps that could be another way for free relay operators to get spam insights. We don’t have any network layer information since we are aggregating from other relays so it’s just going to be event based analysis.

2024-09-18 12:57:12

- reply

This does not have anything to do with nostr.wine as it requires a payment to write and has yet to have any real spam issues!
This is all about our free relay aggregator and filter.nostr.wine.

2024-09-18 12:54:34

The problem: when a brand new pubkey starts sending events, it can be difficult to tell immediately whether they are a legitimate user or spam.
Our solution: accept all new user notes temporarily in a separate database. As they send events, we continually evaluate their behavior based on several rules (and eventually by a trained model) and approve/block the pubkey.
If approved, all of their old events get added to our aggregator relay and the user is immediately discoverable. Their future notes will also go directly to the relay. If blocked, the events are sent to a purged database (for transparency and evaluation) and never reach our relay.
Still an early WIP but coming along! It doesn’t solve all the issues but it is a massive improvement on our current rules. #note19kp…6nxp

2024-09-18 12:30:58

- reply

The website is a bit confusing, I agree and we have a few ideas on how to improve it. The unfortunate reality is nobody reads anything.
The “NSFW DM” is a perfect example. Users only receive that DM when connecting directly to our creatr.nostr.wine relay. Since that relay has paid content that is both SFW and NSFW, part of our user onboarding is to ask the user if they are of age and if they wish to enable NSFW content. We do that when you log in through our website and nobody has ever complained about it. And no, it’s impossible to have received this DM if you didn’t connect to the relay. If you never added it to your relays, your outbox-enabled client found it without your permission - blame them.
The DM is simply a way to adjust that setting from directly within your nostr client. Our entire goal of building Creatr the way we did is that so you can interact with it completely within the nostr client of your choice, without ever having to use our web client. Since it’s caused some ridiculous misunderstandings, we’ve removed that onboarding DM.
The message is quite clear but nobody actually reads the entirety of the message. Same is true of our payment reminders for nostr.wine. They say explicitly that they are for filter.nostr.wine.
There is plenty to improve and we are working on it. We also have Cellar (pay per post) and Inbox (subscription) so we are going to need to simplify our pricing at some point or offer a bundle. This is still the beginning :)

2024-09-17 19:09:36

- reply

Hi! Our pricing model is a bit confusing and we are planning on overhauling the onboarding process soon.
Here’s how it works:
nostr.wine is a high performance “normal” paid relay. It is free to read, and 18,888 sats (one time fee) to have write access.
filter.nostr.wine is our subscription product. It is a separate powerful free relay aggregator that provides a relay-side global filter (your follows+their follows) as well as unfiltered replies to notes (for discovery of users outside your network). With the 18,888 admission fee to nostr.wine, you get 1 included (free) month of filter.nostr.wine.   Additional months for filter.nostr.wine can be purchased here: https://nostr.wine/add-time%E2%80%A8%E2%80%A8There are large discounts for buying more months at one time. The normal price is 10,000 sats/month, the biggest discount gets that down to 5,000 sats/month (~$3). Let me know if you have other questions!

Do I have impersonators? I didn’t think I was big time enough for that

2024-09-17 14:53:10

I wanted to clarify how filter works because there has been some misinformation.
By default we use your WoT (follows+follows) to filter the global feed our subscribers see when they connect to filter.nostr.wine. We do NOT filter replies to notes by WoT so that users outside of your network can be discovered. This can allow in unwanted spam too.
This new solution will not change that design but instead improve upon it.

I think it’s going to be a challenge. I am actually fairly bullish on the network filtering side as part of the solution but unfortunately can’t use it for our aggregator. There are ways to circumvent it but it is easier to fingerprint connections than you might think, even with multiple IPs/ASNs.
I think relays will use social graphs based tools a lot but I’m not sure how to deal with new users. They will end up being very hard to discover if we apply strict rate limits/reduce their visibility until they gain followers/engagement.
We could encourage them to pay to “skip the early reputation line” but I don’t think PoW will prevent spammers. There needs to be a way to onboard without cost though. Perhaps some type of vouching from existing “reputable” users. Still can be gamed though. Lots to consider.

Yup, I’m sure we will get there. UI is very important here but also thinking about the relay side.
We need to prevent events/purge them, not just keep them from being seen otherwise spam becomes expensive to host eventually.

Well it depends. If you’re running the public relay that is being spammed, you can see what IP(s), ASNs, user agents, etc the spammer is using and rate limit on the network side.
If you’re an aggregator like filter.nostr.wine that doesn’t have that network view, then it’s MUCH more challenging. You need to focus more on the content/pattern of the messages and reputation of pubkey posting them.

Glad to hear that!
Primal uses their own proprietary cache to load most of their client so that makes sense.

Yes but it’s still all whack-a-mole. The best filtering is on the network level and for aggregators that don’t have access to the connection info it is challenging.
The only long term solution I can come up with is npub reputation where you face very strict rate limits initially.

Right - but it’s back to the same Fiatjaf experiment of months ago.
If the users didn’t rebroadcast it to large relays your reach would’ve been drastically impacted. Scaling via outbox requires the reach to happen without the rebroadcasting (so that all relays don’t end up storing all the same notes) so this feels like celebrating a fake win.

Hahahahah this is awesome #note1p53…vqw0

We usually tell people to use both since nostr.wine has regional mirrors and is faster, but notes do propagate to both so you can do that if you want.
There are benefits but they require performant clients (that don’t just connect to whatever relays they want) otherwise you won’t notice. If I run Damus or Amethyst and use only nostr.wine/filter.nostr.wine the speed is genuinely unreal compared to pulling the same notes from 10+ public relays.
Try this for a week and see how quick it is. After that check your battery use + data consumption. And all that is before you even use the built in (optional) WoT to browse global of 10+ large free relays (not all clients provide WoT out of the box).

This note is bothering me because the spreading around part is not the outbox model - it’s actually the opposite. It’s the “old school” broadcast model.
Outbox would be everyone reading it just from your relay, not rebroadcasting it all over the place…

So no problems? It gives you way more than nostr.wine, not sure why you think that. Have you read the readme? I get more than 75% of the notes I consume through filter exclusively, most users don’t pay for paid relays…

If you’re looking for temporarily relief from ReplyGuy now is a great time to try https://filter.nostr.wine - keep your network view/reach without all the noise.
A few are still leaking through but our rate limits/repetitive message filters are keeping the majority out of sight. #note1u5f…xc0z

I believe for RIPE an alternative to being an LIR is to have one sponsor you. I believe IPXO, for example, does this for marketplace customers who want to move to owning address space.

Yes ARIN/RIPE have slightly different rules. I already went through the whole process and am on a waitlist for a /22 via ARIN.
Took only a week or so from start to finish but of course you need a justification and a business.

Doing our best! There are def some sneaking through (on filter only of course) but majority is being caught by rate limits/repetitive message rules.
