 There has been no commits to the #strfry master branch for 4 months with multiple older and newer PRs waiting to be reviewed and merged. @Doug Hoyte hasn't published any notes in ~3 months. On GitHub it seems like he is busy with some "Ethereum-vault-connector" project over the last 4 months. Does anyone know if Hoytech has said anything about the future of strfry? I sent him an email yesterday to ask him about the future of strfry but haven't gotten any response yet. 
 🤔

Strfry is foss? 
 It is, it has a GPL-3.0 license 
 I'm not going anywhere and I'm certainly not going to be shitcoining. I think I'll start making a relay implementation for nostr in go.

 I’ve used this for a couple go relay projects: https://github.com/fiatjaf/khatru

if you feel like reimplementing some of the primitives, like signing notes, without fat dependencies like go-nostr has, I’m interested. 
 Dude thanks so much for this. I did not know about it.  
 Could always fork it 🤷‍♂️ 
 Yes but I don't know C++ so not much I can do with it 
 This is why I am loathe to depend upon software from people who are aren't passionate about the underlying protocol.

The devil is in the maintenance.

 Have you seen this? I just happened to see it on the awesome-nostr list

 No haven't heard about this one before but happy to see more relay implementations coming together 
 Did you hear anything since then? The status still seems to be the same.

I just spent some time writing a Chef cookbook for setting up strfry, but now I'm a bit worried about picking the wrong implementation for our new relay. 
 Nope, haven’t heard anything from him. Seems like a dead project to me unless someone forks it
