 NOSTR RELAY OPERATORS (and potential operators)

I've created daily data dumps from the NostrGram database going back to January 1st, 2022 of all the known events from the top 100 relays with a couple of caveats:

* I do not keep events from pubkeys without a profile (kind 0) record since they have proven to be universally spam and NostrGram is tuned for performance
* The dumps do not contain events whose date is set into the future

If you're a relay operator (or are considering it) and would like to preload your relay with historical events rather than starting from scratch, let me know and I'll provide you with access to the files.

The files are JSON formatted with one record per line (each record ending in a newline). As of now they total about 3.5gb but given that yesterday's file alone is 500mb+ that will grow quickly.

 Nice.  Have a look at .jsonl and

 That's great the wellorder is available for folks also! In the case of the NostrGram dumps it's the events gathered from the top 100 relays (only unique IDs of course) so it should be a pretty complete set of events other than the caveats laid out. 
 Awesome! I’m not sure if I will load it right away but definitely interested in access to these. 
 BTW if you take a hash of that dataset, and put it in an OP_RETURN you'll have proof of publication for all profiles and posts 
 I'd be very interested if you'd be happy to share, for a personal relay that I set up. 
 Here at #Nostr we don't always sell your data. Often, we give it away for free! 
 Exactly my idea. Help new operators get off the ground quickly rather than having to grow enough to attract attention from new users.
