Poof! Spam gone 😎🌈 
 Are these free relays? What would you say about the ones I currently use? Just trying to learn more about them, appreciate the help 🤝🏼 
 They're all free.  
 Thank you for your help 🤝🏼 
 It would be an honor to have one more wot-relay added to the list  wss://wot.zacoos.com 
 Pls send a PR on GitHub to add it to the list! That's the official list  
 What about nostr.wine? 
 I don't use it so I can't comment, other than it requires payment in bitcoin, so only bitcoiners will use it 
 Incorrect sir, we support fiat as well. 
 I stand corrected I apologize!

 Hmmm odd - must be a Brave browser issue. Just test on Chrome, IE and Firefox and all 3 worked.

Could you try another browser for me? 
 Chrome.

 The only validation on that form is that you’ve entered a valid pubkey (npub or hex). What are you putting in on the front page? 
 I put in the npub, I get a menu selecting Bitcoin or Credit Card, I select Credit Card, then I get the above.

Surely you must have some server logs to peruse. 
 Heh - we actually don’t log invalid form submission there because crawlers do it constantly. I can re-deploy it with temp logging there if we absolutely have to.

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.  
 Oh I got it. The npub had a nostr: prefix in front of it. 
 I'm glad we figured it out. 
 What determines the WoT? Will new users default to being shadow banned? 
 As long as any second degree person follows a new user, they are in 
 Second degree with respect to a specific pubkey? 
 I'll only add them if they have cool relay icons😂

I'm also already part of the Nostr Elites relay. It somehow added itself. 🤔 They must be using AI to know which users are Elites 
 Should we use all of them or just 1/2? 
 Depends on your own hardware and Internet connection, should be fine to use them all, if it slows down just start removing some I think  
 I should pay something to use they? or are they free? 
 Stop being poor.

6969 Sats for paid relay access that doesn’t disseminate ReplyGuys 
 🧡💜 
 Been using them since you posted about it. No spam issues on my end. 
 If I do this I’m guessing I need to rebroadcast the events that set up my profile or different users, depending on their relay list, will see different versions of it right? Is that possible in Primal or Damus? 
 Nope, they're already on these relays, they pull notes from the network automatically and filter out all the spam 

(That's how I see your note and profile) 
 Great! Thanks.

 Any recommendations for DMs relays? 
 The best is to run a #haven relay and have your own, but I have ones you can use:

frens.utxo.one
relay.utxo.one/chat 
 Perfect, thanks!

I have the haven relay write-up saved in my bookmarks. I'll have to read through it sometimes soon. 
 But then you have to be in the web of trust circle isn't it? 
 Pretty much every real account is in the web at this point across all relays 
 Aah oke thanks 🙏 
 🔍 fetching owner's follows
🌐 building web of trust graph
🫂  total network size: 20432

Do i have events from 20,432 npubs or 15,405? 
 15045 is the amount of npubs with the minimum amount of followers u set 
 Thanks! I should learn to use nak or something to just unfollow those accounts 
 Or at least list them. Some of them are ones i definitely want to follow 
 But reply guy is gone even though I am using same set of old popular relays  ..  

- relay.damus.io
- nos..lol
- nostr-pun.wellorder.net
-relay.primal.net

Do I really need to change ?   
 If your setup is working for you then no! 
 ReplyGuy is no longer replying. 😅

 Thanks for the recommendations!  
 Thanks 🙏🏻 
 Great! Thank you.
